Wow - they sure took their time with that, but better late than never I guess.
Anyone here know if wallets can be affected by the upcoming hardfork on March 9th?
Affected as in?
As in errors or quit working.
Edit - also wondering how anonymous Monero is coming from a Coinomi wallet?
I don't blame you for being concerned about the fork.
But it's not the wallet software that's at risk.
If something bad happens at the fork, it won't be a glitch with your wallet software.
If something bad happens at the fork, it could be much worse than that. It could be a 51% attack, with double spends.
Your concern about the wallet not working is misplaced. If that's all you're worried about, you can put your mind at rest.
By the way, linux CLI
14.0.0 daemon and wallet work great. I'm using it now.
I still remember the problems I had upgrading my Linux wallet when Monero forked to v.7. Also I find the frequent forks tiresome, since they are only treating symptoms temporarily instead of curing the disease (ASIC vulnerability). The tech behind Monero is still cool, but not an end in itself, and I don't see the price going anywhere long as it remains "eclectic", and mainly useful on the darknet.
I think the Coinomi Monero integration is a mixed bag -
on one hand it's positive since it makes Monero more useful by providing more mainstream access to more people,
on the other hand accessibility is a big minus if the wallet isn't secure (

The competition is not standing idle. I don't really see Grin as a serious threat to Monero, but I DO see Litecoin as one, since it has a better image, does not have the same issues with ASICS, and looks soon ready for MimbleWimble protocol integration. XMR still has cheaper fees than LTC (ASICS could change this for LTC..), and XMR may still win if the DEV's manage to maintain tech lead by salvaging Kovri before it's too late.
