The core Dogecoin community is signaling a coordinated defense posture after a week of escalating chatter that the AI-driven Qubic collective\u2014which recently targeted Monero\u2014has \u201cvoted\u201d to make DOGE its next proof-of-work stress test.<\/p>\n

From the official DOGE account (@dogecoin) came<\/a> a pointed nudge: \u201cCould this be due to certain parts of the community mobilizing to protect against some possible threats? Like something that happened to Monero recently? Hmm\u2026\u201d. The post came in response to crypto analyst KrissPax who shared on X late Wednesday: \u201cBREAKING: Dogecoin Hashrate has just hit an all time high!\u201d<\/p>\n

Is The Dogecoin Network Prepared?<\/h2>\n

The immediate catalyst is Qubic\u2019s community poll two weeks ago<\/a> to focus its resources on DOGE next, following its Monero campaign. Analysts framed the ballot as a direct threat to DOGE, though Qubic\u2019s messaging alternated between \u201cattack\u201d rhetoric and claims it merely intends to \u201cmine for profit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Former IOTA co-founder and Qubic leader Sergey Ivancheglo, aka Come-from-Beyond (CFB), posted on August 18 via X: \u201cIt\u2019s becoming ridiculous, the Qubic community voted on *mining* Dogecoin, not on *attacking* it\u2026,\u201d adding \u201cpreparation to mining Dogecoin requires months of development, the Qubic pool is mining Monero during this period.\u201d<\/p>\n

What is uncontested is that Qubic marshaled enough coordinated hashpower to rattle Monero and then publicly named DOGE as its next proving ground.<\/p>\n

Context matters: During the attack<\/a>, there was an alleged six-block reorganization on the Monero blockchain, orphaning around 60 blocks. However, it\u2019s debated whether Qubic\u2019s action qualified as a successful 51% attack. Nevertheless, Kraken paused XMR deposits as a precaution when the single pool supposedly crossed 50% of hashrate, then re-enabled deposits under a stringent 720-block confirmation regime\u2014an extraordinary friction cost meant to blunt the risk of chain reorganizations.<\/p>\n

Against that backdrop, Dogecoin\u2019s raw compute power surged. Depending on the estimator and sampling window, DOGE\u2019s Scrypt hashrate pushed to fresh records on Wednesday. BitInfoCharts tracker showed intraday read a new all-time high at 2.948 PH\/s. The directional takeaway is clear: miners are pointing more Scrypt ASIC horsepower at DOGE right now than at any prior time.<\/p>\n

\"Dogecoin<\/p>\n

Structural factors also cut differently for DOGE than for Monero. Since 2014, Dogecoin has shared security with Litecoin via auxiliary proof-of-work (merged mining), meaning the same Scrypt ASIC fleets that secure LTC can simultaneously commit Dogecoin blocks. That broadened miner base and the industrial-scale nature of Scrypt ASICs raise the bar for any would-be majority attacker\u2014one reason a direct 51% campaign on DOGE is much harder than on a CPU-oriented chain<\/a> like Monero\u2019s RandomX.<\/p>\n

At press time, DOGE traded at $0.22.<\/p>\n
