Don't just blame XMV for attacking Monero, blame Monero for having a critical vulnerability. It's as much a social exploit as a technical one. The technical one makes the social attack possible in the first place. FIX THE PROTOCOL!

Hard to see how this could be done on a protocol level.

I offered a solution here https://forum.getmonero.org/6/ideas/90040/full-solution-to-ring-signature-partner-reuse-on-fork-chain Unfortunately it's being ignored by all the devs. Maybe they don't check the forum. Not sure. It would have been nice if a developer could have alteast commented on it. But w/e. I assure you that it is not an insoluble problem. This is the key.

The idea is to alter the ring signature partner selection algorithm such that it is functionally random to any outside observer but deterministically derived from factors that both the main chain and fork chain would have in common.

*edit* Never mind.
