What was this about? Asking honestly, just read a few articles when it happened. https://en.cryptonomist.ch/2025/09/15/monero-record-reorganization-18-blocks-rewritten-and-118-transactions-made-unconf...

you could be excused for thinking it's a 51%

they had a pool and issued a shitcoin in order to pay miners higher rewards then just the Monero block reward.
so their pool attracted a significant percentage of hash, but never reached 51%. this enabled them to sometimes get lucky and do reorgs.

but basically nobody cared and they faded into irrelevance.

I find it funny that in the longrun all they did was further distribute the hashrate making it more decentralized than it was before by just adding another mining pool to Monero
