[XMR] Monero - A secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency

[Kanati]

Monero is now supported on Coinomi. A smartphone (and desktop) multi-currency wallet. https://www.coinomi.com/en/

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 (https://www.reddit.com/r/reddCoin/comments/avb43d/crosspost_warning_coinomi_wallet_critical/).

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.

But it does, it's mined exclusively by ASICs.

Its not an issue if you don't have a pharyngeal reflex

Or you really don't care about the security of the network and are only shilling because your a bag holder.

We have a wallet exploit related to coinbase transactions. There will be a patch released on github on the 6th at 4pm GMT, so in about 4 days. In the meantime, you can be safe against any exploits by running "set refresh-type no-coinbase" in monero-wallet-cli. This should be set for every wallet you're running. This is a persistent flag, so once you quit monero-wallet-cli and start monero-wallet-rpc on that same wallet, the setting will persist.
This is not a consensus bug, no double spend, no coins created out of thin air, etc.

Arbitrary code execution? Wallet DoS?

edit not as fun as that. it's like the double counting wallet bug from before

[deksa]

Guys?
What is the name of the new algo after the fork next week?
Is there AMD miner for it atm?
If so, which platforms does it use (the miner)?
Thank you!

Snarky bag-holding pharyngeal reflexive ad hominem attacks aside...

The Network Security issue is about who controls capacity, not how it's mined - https://www.crypto51.app/

Any privacy feature addition to LTC will most likely be optional. As such, the following will apply:

Riccardo Spagni   to monero-announce   (6 hours ago) show details create a rule
To update this: since the bug has been irresponsibly, publicly
disclosed by a third-party unrelated to original discloser to the
Vulnerability Response workgroup, the Monero developer community has
decided to fast-forward the update to today. If you are running a
wallet on an exchange, payment gateway, or service, then you can
update to 0.14.0.1 using the appropriate tag, as in 'git checkout
v0.14.0.1'. Binaries for this release should be completed and uploaded
in the next 24 hours.

Very strange solution  - Monero (XMR) mining tool Coinhive decides to shut down after Hard Fork

Coinhive announced that it will go out of service on March 9th before the hard fork, but it unclear why the hard fork influenced their decision because after the hard fork ASICs will no longer dominate mining which should actually be more profitable to Coinhive.

In the last version of monero client 0.14 with application 1.1.3, it seems there is a bug with the change address: The change seems to not be correctly send.

Do not use Ledger Nano S with client 0.14 until more information is provided.

Maybe there just wasn't enough users to continue with this. And isn't Coinhive open-sourced? If so, I assume you will still be able to use it.

what is "application 1.1.3"?
