Monero (XMR) - Hard Fork
The upcoming scheduled protocol upgrade of March 9 is intended to fork at block height of 1788000.
To briefly provide some information regarding the upcoming scheduled protocol upgrade of ~ March 9:
- Intended fork height of 1788000 (approximately March 9)
- New release (0.14) will essentially be the 0.13.0.4 release (i.e. the
release-v0.13branch) + the consensus changes - Subsequent point release will include new features, bug fixes, and performance improvements that are currently present in master
- PoW tweak will be CryptoNightR + a random change
- Users ought to upgrade to the upcoming 0.14 release (CLI & GUI)
- Pool operators ought to upgrade to the upcoming 0.14 release
- Miners ought to upgrade their mining software to a version that supports the new PoW algorithm
- Mobile wallet users (e.g. Cake Wallet, Monerujo, X wallet, MyMonero, Edge) ought to upgrade to a version that supports the consensus changes
- Presumably MyMonero will also release a new version of their desktop apps that supports the consensus changes
- You do not have to move / transfer your coins in advance of the scheduled protocol upgrade to be sufficiently prepared
- As far as I can see (currently), this will be a consensual upgrade and thus no additional coin will be created
