Part of the Monero community fears that an increase in the hashrate of the MineXMR pool to 44% will create the possibility of a 51% attack. The Monro community discussed on Reddit the growing influence of the Monaro MineXMR mining pool. According to community members, the pool already controls 44% of the cryptocurrency hashrate, which, according to some miners, carries potential network security risks. The community believes that there is a probability of an attack on the blockchain when the MineXMR hashrate reaches 51%. Miners were encouraged to use their computing power in other pools to reduce the control of the Monero hashrate by the MineXMR pool. However, even if the hashrate of the Manero MineXMR pool grows by more than 51%, this does not mean that the pool will necessarily attack the blockchain or try to harm Monero. In addition, if the operators of the MineXMR pool try to carry out an attack, other miners of the pool will quickly migrate to other pools to prevent it. The potential possibility of a 51% attack on the blockchain is also not to be denied. Attackers who in the past gained 51% control over the hashrate of other blockchains often launched reorganization attacks in order to conduct a "double-spending attack".
