After a 51% attack on the Monero network last week, the Qubic community has voted to target Dogecoin as a potential candidate for a similar test.

A Discord screenshot posted by Qubic founder Sergey Ivancheglo showed at least 300 members voted for Dogecoin, with only a handful of votes cast for other contenders Kaspa and Zcash.

Dogecoin’s hashrate currently sits at around 2.23 petahashes per second (PH/s), reflecting the active mining power distributed across the Dogecoin network. 

This story is an excerpt from the Unchained Daily newsletter.

For context, that is far lower than Bitcoin’s 964 exahashes per second (EH/s), which is what makes networks like Dogecoin more susceptible to 51% attacks.

Since 2014, Dogecoin has been in a merged mining arrangement with Litecoin — a situation where both are mined simultaneously with the same hash power, without loss of performance on either network.

“Litecoiners support Dogecoin. Always have, always will,” Litecoin said in an X post on Sunday.
