If you use Coinomi or ZelCore there is nothing to do yet, as we need to notify them to upgrade, which we will be doing over the weekend.
If you use Android (Copay), we should have a new release by the time activation occurs.
We will be notifying pools and exchanges over the weekend as well.
Please stay tuned! This is definitely an exciting moment for everyone, there is still some more coordination and work involved leading upto the upgrade.
What is a hardfork?
The cryptocurrency mainnet operates according to certain rules. To improve network performance or correct errors, changes are periodically introduced into it. A hard fork represents changes that are not compatible with previous versions of software supporting the cryptocurrency network. In order to continue to mine the cryptocurrency, miners need to update the software.
In some cases, as a result of a hard fork, a completely new cryptocurrency may appear, as happened with Bitcoin Cash and EthereumPoW.
