There have been responses from the support team over the past year. It is funny that the support team works without an update from the technical team. https://coinomi.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/29000009675-how-much-do-i-have-to-pay-to-use-coinomi-how-do-i-set-fees-
I haven't read many articles, but some of the advice in the above article needs updating.

The article hasn't been updated for a long time, and it's around the same time they started being inactive on their other social media accounts.

I think someone here asked about them not a very long time ago, and I tried to reach out to the support through Telegram IIRC, but there wasn't so much help. It does look abandoned but I'm surprised there are not many complaints about them online.

Why does this wallet continue to add and use Monero even though they know there is a synchronization problem for more than a year?

If it's abandoned, there may be nobody left to remove Monero.

Terrible experience, stay away from coinomi. (Great software, but abandoned)

Next time ask before using anything, especially old outdated closed source wallets Wink

Many people here could tell you that about Coinimoi, and there are several alternatives you could use, Stack wallet is one of them for privacy multicoins, or you could just use monero-only wallets.
Maybe even Bisq exchange can work like a wallet, it supports Bitcoin, monero and few other coins.

This is one is last alternative I found for desktop (no xmr), but consider it experimental wallet only!
https://github.com/bitlogik/uniblow

I would say that there is no alternative to Coinomi wallet so far.

All those suggested wallets have problems, like bad bitcoin implementation (no coim control), lack of important coins such as xmr, etc...

I didn't download it now, I have in my phone since 2017.
I had to receive some XMR and it was the most handy alternative ...

Edit:
I won't use Unstoppable again, no coin control is a deal breaker to me.

I will take a look at cake wallet

Yesterday I had to receive some payment using XMR, and then I discovered Coinomi is supporting it (it generates addresses) but it doesnt sync and doesnt send coins. Terrible!

You have many closed source options for multi-currency wallets and I don't know why anyone would prefer to use currencies like XMR without open source wallets.
There is an easier solution, which is to use Cake wallet.

I now use Feather for Monero (dust), a hot wallet on my desktop.

It works good, it looks very similar like Electrum wallet, and I think it supports hardware wallets (for people who need that).

I don't get it: this is the reason I posted What happened to Coinomi?, which you Merited and linked from your OP. Why did you still use Coinomi for Monero?

I forgot that your problem was with XMR... I opened Unstoppeable I saw that it doesnt support XMR, and I didn't had time to set up a new wallet, I just generated the address with coinomi...

I used Unstoppeable wallet for some time, but it lacks too many functions (like coin control) and doesnt support many coins.

I don't mind the lack of coins (which I don't use anyway), but coin control is indeed needed. I'm using Tor and "From Blockchain" instead of API for maximum privacy, only to get my inputs connected on-chain.

^ yes, monero is under maintenance since quite a long time, but even other cryptos don't sync, so I was forced to make change too. It's sad to see such handy wallet being abandoned.

Non-custodial BTC Wallet

I will make an update to this topic.

I used Unstoppeable wallet for some time, but it lacks too many functions (like coin control) and doesnt support many coins. So I continued to use Coinomi until now.

Yesterday I had to receive some payment using XMR, and then I discovered Coinomi is supporting it (it generates addresses) but it doesnt sync and doesnt send coins. Terrible!

The reason is that they didnt update the monero wallet after the hard fork.

More details here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/COINOMI/comments/x79hvt/monero_not_syncing/

and the solution here to recover monero coins from coinomi
https://coinomi.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/29000039549

In the end, I had to use a coinomi bip39 tool to recover my coins! (https://coinomi.github.io/tools/bip39/) and download a monero wallet.

Terrible experience, stay away from coinomi. (Great software, but abandoned)

Personally, I think there should be a easy-quick sync option. Specially tk save mobile data (for those who are not near wifi)

There is: it's called "API" instead of "From Blockchain". I think that's the default, so I'm not sure which one you're using. I imagine "API" is like Electrum, while "From Blockchain" is more like Bitcoin Wallet.

Yes, it is default. I used API and Tor off.

It was very slow to complete the first sync. Now it is fast to sync when I open the wallet

Do you have thousands of transactions by any chance? and are you using ZEC (I know they have an issue with it syncing)? Otherwise, I know the syncing is a bit slow (maybe a minute or two compared to other wallets) and I have experienced it before, but 10 minutes and you're still at 18%?! That's way too much.

No thousands, but a few dozens (less than a hundred)

Old wallet from 2017, all bitcoin address formats (before bch fork). So I have 4 bitcoin wallets and all of them are syncing independently (legacy , segwit, native segwit and taproot). I also have ethereum from the same time.

Wallet didn't sync yet (I minimized it, and it didn't work in background). I will keep it open for a while... less than 30%..

Maybe it will be slow just the first time.

I just downloaded Unstoppable and imported my coinomi seed.

It is Taking too long to sync (more than 10minutes and still 18%). I am not using Tor.

The wallet also has a heavy UI, too many useless tais like markets, news... I found how to hide some in the options.

Overall good wallet, but I think it could more simple and straightforward, like electrum

syncing the wallet takes a lot longer and consumes quite a bit of data.

To emphasize this: if you're going to use Unstoppable Wallet, this is really something to keep in mind. It's on track now to consume more than 10 GB/month in bandwidth, and that's with only 4 coins in the wallet! I'm wondering now: does it download and check full Bitcoin blocks? It kinda makes sense for privacy, but I didn't realize it would be that much. If I'd use mobile data only, this alone would burn through my bundle.

Following LoyceV topic (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.62764298), I discovered that coinomi project is abandoned. Sadly he closed his topic and I neeed to open a new one.

I use coinomi since 2017 for bitcoin, stablecoins and some altcoins when needed. I know it is not safe but I try to keep at most 500 usd there. I like to have crypto in my phone .

As coinomi project is abandoned, not receiving updates for more than a year, I am looking for a similar multicurrency wallet, for android mobile.

Any suggestions? I don't want to use trust wallet as it is owned by binance.

It's just sad because coinomi, which has been around for a long time in the crypto space, we just hear that it has been neglected, I used to use it too. Maybe I'll just give suggestions and it's up to you to choose what you think is okay from what I'll mention dude.

And Jaxx Liberty is one of them, so far I haven't heard of any serious issues with this non-custodial wallet.

Quote

Pros

Simple interface and setup to manage many different cryptocurrencies
Hierarchical deterministic platform
Secure customer service channel within the app
Partner integrations to purchase and exchange cryptocurrencies

cons

Limited number of cryptocurrencies supported compared to other wallets
No staking interface
No direct support for NFTs in the wallet
Not recommended for holding large amounts of cryptocurrency

source: https://www.investopedia.com/jaxx-liberty-cryptocurrency-wallet-review-5271356

As for Zengo wallet, like Jaxx, I've only known minor issues with it, and I haven't heard of any serious issues.

ZenGo Pros & Cons

Quote

source: https://everybithelps.io/zengo-review/#google_vignette

And the last one is Unstoppable wallet, I have some issues I just found here this is the link;

I need a good multicurrency wallet, and a good bitcoin wallet in the same app.

coinomi supported all the best altcoins, and it was an amazing bitcoin wallet. It supported coin control, sign messages, all address formats and so on.

Coinomi haven't gotten update in a while but all it's features still works well, it hasn't been abandoned. Stick with it, until it stops working altogether.

The problem is that it won't receive updates on new vulnerabilities that might be found.

There is a risk using outdated software, which is not worth

If 10% of the 1 million plus people that downloaded coinomi put in $1 they would have generated $100000 for development & upkeep.
Not a lot but enough to possibly keep it going better then it has.

Usually, apps create a paid version with more features, or without ads. So I guess that's what works for most users.

With Bitcoin related programs, I'm more used to seeing as subtle donation link once in a while. Even if users don't pay, as long as they use it they can contribute by recommending it to others.
