The Qubic Bot Farm: How a Dead Project is Spamming Crypto Twitter
Introduction
A strange pattern has emerged across Crypto Twitter: an army of suspicious accounts, all pushing $QUBIC, a token with no working product, no verifiable network, and no legitimate use case. These accounts flood replies under posts mentioning Monero (XMR), claiming absurd things like "we’re mining Monero with Qubic!"—a technical impossibility.
The campaign is blatantly artificial:
Identical phrasing across accounts
Low-follower bots (often created in 2023-2024)
Near-instant replies to any tweet mentioning #Monero or #Qubic
Zero engagement outside of coordinated shilling
This isn’t organic hype—it’s a paid bot farm, likely run by a single entity trying to pump a dead project.
1. The Bot Playbook: How Qubic’s Fake Engagement Works
A. Reply Spam Under Monero Posts
The moment someone tweets about Monero, these accounts appear with:
"Qubic is the future of decentralized AI and mining!"
*"We’re mining Monero with Qubic’s 676-node network!"* (False—Monero is CPU-mined, not oracle-computed.)
"Aigarth is the first autonomous AI on the blockchain!" (No proof exists.)
B. Fake "Community" Engagement
The same 5-10 accounts retweet each other in loops.
No technical discussions—just hype slogans.
No developer activity (GitHub is barren).
C. Obvious Automation
Replies happen within seconds of a tweet going live.
Many accounts tweet identical phrases minutes apart.
Sudden bursts of activity, then weeks of silence.
2. Why Target Monero Users?
Monero (XMR) has a highly skeptical, tech-literate community that values real utility over hype. By spamming them, the Qubic campaign is likely trying to:
Provoke engagement (even negative attention helps visibility).
Create fake legitimacy by associating with a real project.
Distract from Qubic’s lack of progress (no code, no nodes, no AI).
But Monero users aren’t fooled—they’ve called out the bot behavior immediately.
3. Who’s Behind This?
The most likely scenario:
A single entity (possibly linked to Qubic’s founder, CFB) is paying for bot services.
Goal: Inflate perceived interest to attract real investors.
Tactic: Use fake accounts to drown out criticism.
Key Evidence:
✅ No independent developers or researchers back Qubic’s claims.
✅ The original Qubic project was abandoned by IOTA years ago.
✅ Zero proof of Aigarth’s "AI computations" or node network.
4. How to Spot Qubic Bots
Check the account age (most are 2023-2024).
Look at follower count (often 10-100, with no real interactions).
Notice reply timing (instant, scripted responses).
Search their history (if they only shill Qubic, it’s a bot).
Conclusion: A Dead Project’s Last Gasp
Qubic has no working product, no transparency, and no real community—just a paid bot army trying to manufacture hype.
Real projects ship code.
Real communities debate openly.
Real AI projects show verifiable results.
Qubic does none of these things. Until they provide proof (not bots), this remains a scammy, coordinated FOMO campaign.
Final Warning: If you see Qubic shills, don’t engage—just report the bots and move on.

The Qubic-Monero "Threat" Narrative: Fact vs. Fiction
(With Community Reactions)
1. The Alleged "Attack" on Monero
A narrative has emerged (pushed by Qubic supporters) claiming:
"Qubic is disrupting Monero’s mining ecosystem!"
"Monero should consider PoS due to Qubic’s hashrate threat!"
Reality Check:
Monero’s PoW is ASIC-resistant (RandomX), making large-scale hash attacks impractical.
Qubic’s "676-node network" is unverified—no proof it contributes to Monero’s hashrate.
Miners can’t compromise privacy (Monero’s transactions are opaque regardless of mining centralization).
2. Community Backlash
Prominent Monero contributors dismiss the claims as absurd FUD:
"Monero is not under attack. Even if Qubic had hashrate (they don’t), miners can’t reveal transaction data. This is ChatGPT-generated nonsense."
"Qubic’s network share is fake—they’re lying to investors, just like they’ve done before."
3. The Real Agenda Behind the Hype
Qubic’s bot campaigns (see previous analysis) rely on fake urgency to attract attention.
Comparing CFB to SBF is telling: Both created chaos, but in different ways (one with money, the other with fake tech promises).
This isn’t about Monero’s security—it’s about Qubic needing a villain to justify its existence.
4. Key Takeaways
✅ Monero’s privacy is intact—PoW decentralization ≠ privacy risk.
✅ Qubic’s claims are unsubstantiated (no proof of nodes, hashrate, or AI).
✅ The "economic attack" narrative is a distraction from Qubic’s lack of deliverables.
Final Thought
This isn’t a Monero vulnerability story—it’s a Qubic desperation story. When a project with no working product starts fabricating threats, it’s a sign of terminal hype decay.
Monero keeps mining. Qubic keeps pretending.
Setting Up Monero GUI with an Umbrel Node:
Privacy is a fundamental right in the digital age, and Monero stands out as one of the leading privacy-focused cryptocurrencies. In this guide, I'll walk you through the process of setting up the official Monero GUI wallet on a Linux Mint machine and connecting it to a Monero node running on Umbrel on a Raspberry Pi within your local network.
Monero GUI Wallet Setup:
Setting up your Monero (XMR) wallet for the first time? The official Monero GUI is a great choice, but syncing the blockchain can be slow—especially on older PCs.
How to Safely Delete Monero Files on Linux Mint:
If you’re running a Monero node or wallet on Linux Mint, there may come a time when you need to clean up or delete Monero-related files. Whether you’re troubleshooting, starting fresh, or freeing up disk space, it’s important to know which files to delete and how to do it safely. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process step by step.
