  • Exchanges and custodian services need more time to implement the MoneroV technology for them to support the fork and credit XMR holders with XMV. We are in the process of helping leading exchanges (from the top five Monero trading platforms) to list MoneroV. These services require additional time for implementation and we are positive that postponing the hard-fork date so that more users will be credited with their XMV outweighs the drawbacks.
  • Monero’s own software update that will occur in March is causing confusion with the initial hard-fork date. This is a common complaint we hear from both the Monero community and our own. Postponing the hard-fork snapshot date will help both Blockchains.
  • Mining pools are asking for more time to implement MoneroV. We want to help these pools to prepare for the hard-fork split so that MoneroV will be more stable and robust.
  • Many users have difficulty storing their XMR locally using the Monero GUI wallet due to its large blockchain size. Postponing the hard-fork date will help more users to prepare and be able to claim their XMV’s.

thanks for share , didnt know that monero release a hard fork :)
where is the best exchange or wallet to storage monero and get the fork ?

The fork is not from the creators of Monero. The creators of MoneroV will make a carbon copy of Monero ledger and create a new coin. The Monero GUI wallet is a good one however use a computer that has a SSD hard drive and a fast internet connection. Any Monero wallet that you have ownership of the private keys will work. No known exchanges that will support the fork yet though.

thanks for the info @socky
