Over a year ago, Coinomi was declared a closed source system which has left many of its users feeling insecure. Knowing that in the decentralized networks, People prefer to have a public review of all activities just exactly what it should be.

Coinomi only accepts cryptocurrency deposits from exchanges or other wallet addresses. However, you can only make fiat currency deposits via third party sites.

The transaction fees are calculated dynamically, but Coinomi allows to set or use their fees anytime. Note that, the lower the  Miner’s fee, the longer time it will take for confirmation. This is because miners first input transactions with a higher fee to the blockchain.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Secured and Private is Coinomi?

Coinomi offers unparalleled privacy and this is one of the major reasons why it keeps growing. Everyone dealing with cryptocurrency is after privacy and security,  Coinomi does not store personal information and also encrypts the IP address of its customers.
Also on security, Coinomi provides restrictions to unauthorized persons by enabling a  compulsory password platform for the wallet. The recovery phrase can be used to reopen their wallet on another device.
Well if you want a more secure wallet system, I suggest you go for the hardware wallets. Wallets like Trezor, Ledger, Keepkey, and others can give you better assurance.

What Happens if I Lose My Device?

If your device is lost, stolen or infected by malware. Simply log in to your account on another device using the recovery phrase/password.
In a situation whereby a user’s device is stolen, there is no need to worry because there is a password to protect from unauthorized persons.

Conclusion

I believe that this company has done well to keep its users on the safe side. I will also encourage you as a user to be security conscious and bear these in mind

  • Copy and keep your recovery phrase safe, never give out your recovery phrase to anybody.
  • Always check for your recovery phrase to avoid losing it when you might need it. At least if you lose your recovery phrase and discover that on time you could get another since you still have your phone and password.
