@jakiman any confirmation that the official wallet is on the way even for today?

The wallet links aren't working @ https://pivx.org/wallet/ nor on OP. Where can I download 64-bit win wallet? Gives a very crappy first impression about Pivx, when you aren't even able to download a wallet... Gives a very crappy first impression about a user, when he isn't even able to download a wallet... Enduring a project with his money I do not think it gives a bad image ... and less in the circumstances of incapacity like the current ones. Your disrespectful response. yes. if you are unable to see the bad image of this project with all this matter, the one that does not work correctly is you, not him.I believe that currently only someone with misinformation would come to support with his money a project like PIVX. Giving an image of greater capacity would not be bad to start changing that...and that would be good for everyone. |

It is already too much time between doubts and confusion.
An unforeseen problem arose during roll-out, which is currently being resolved. It has taken around one week so far, during which time multiple release-candidate wallets have been posted for testing. While there is not yet a final release, the network has stabilized further with each new release, so progress is being made. There has been no shortage of information about the issues and the efforts to resolve them, both from the community and from the dev team. As a community, we know what's going on; we just don't know how long it will take. My question is, what more do you want? Shit happens sometimes. Sure it would have been better if there was no problem in the first place, but it is what it is. Maybe it will take a week, or two weeks, or a month to resolve this--or maybe it will never be resolved; who knows--but only in the crazy world of crypto would a week be considered "too much time" to resolve problems related to implementing something that has literally never been done before. I think I strongly disagree with most of your value judgments, deeply, beginning with what can be considered an unforeseen event or not. But I do not think that right now brings anything positive that debate. I understand that all that is needed is to overcome a problem that in practice blocks the most elementary operation of the project. So back to your question, what I want is information as objective as possible to overcome it ... for which to channel it through jakiman seems to me, by aseptic , honest and concise, the most appropriate official choice among the ones I know until I reach the step definitive technique that we hope to arrive with the official wallet based on the existing intermediates right now. A greeting. |

Having read all official stuff about the situation I think we will not recover our coins.
I switched to the correct blockchain, changed wallets, recovered zpiv keys, run debug programms.
Nothing.
In the blockchain explorer I found those transactions.
They link to unknown address.
That's why all that has been converted to zpiv is zero.
Point.
And yes, everything will be presented as an attempt of FUD.
Do not you think that nobody have recovered any? Explain yourself a little please |

You will always have people who have problems and who says it works fine. That cannot be avoided unfortunately. So it's hard to avoid FUD in public forums. Always follow my twitter & @_PIVX twitter for official stance/news. As for what you are asking, the whole point of zPIV is achieving unlinked private transactions. You can still check your own address in the BE and see how many zPIV you minted however. So that can be used to verify that a certain address minted that amount of zPIV. http://www.presstab.pw/phpexplorer/PIVX/index.phpI always try to jakiman, even though sometimes many users try to help from their particular position, I try to clarify if they do it as members of the degree that is within the PIVX team, or not ... precisely for that, so that the criteria do not Disperse. I always try to guide myself through official channels, because something else can add even more confusion to everything. Regarding the explorer that you attach, several questions ... is it valid for all the addresses? Even if they are in one or another version of the wallet? Do you also report the balance in ZPIVs? - I think that recently, the Zivivs, because of their anonymous character, were not seen in the explorer's balance sheet - Thank you very much for your objectivity and help. |

Why i cant recync with 3.0.4 wallet and stuck at 873115 block, wtf is goin on? Nothing helps
"They say" that works. Someone knows someone ... who says he's got it. In this forum, several nicks claim to have recovered their original PIVs from the ZPIVs in which they were automatically transformed. It would be perfect to be able to check it by an objective method. Coins, stops in the exchanges. In Slack they tell you to "try" "sending one". Can the actual operation of the network be certified in the explorer? Or where ? It is already too much time between doubts and confusion. |

@jakiman
Although PIVX is resuming its powerful communication strategy with more translations, meetings, etc., something very strange in the middle of a conflict like the current one, during which it does not seem the best moment to receive new users, there is much controversy in It has been found that everyone says that everything is great and others who say that nothing works, while they are instantly accused of FUD and identifiers as the developers insist that have a more recent version, although many users claim that their currencies disappear from the balance with it I do not know the origin of those nicks, although the security that the developers defend as real seems not at all.
At the end of the day, what is needed is objective information and as we have been listening for too long that everything is controlled but the problems continue, it seems clear that higher levels of certainty about our real operation are needed and to park this dynamics of endless discussions. For this, and to get a tool I have a question:
Is there a problem with the PIVX Team in attaching address or ID Transactions of the ZPIV transvases are a PIV claiming that they are being performed normally? That way, it is very easy for users to confirm in the blockchain that everything is correct and equally, you could contrast if someone is inventing FUD and end it.
Can you expose it to the team to end this situation once and for all? In this way, they have it very easy for us all to enjoy the breakthroughs again and avoid malicious FUD.
Thank you.

translator correction, sorry :
"I'm just one more particular, but you do not doubt that you're doing it fantastically, really, you can be very calm about it."

@jackiman
Only 2 things:
1- I did not propose an automatic regression Zpivs to Pivs, now rereading the result of google translator I saw that could be interpreted like this. It proposed a video like the one of spock of a simple and manual regression, of ZPIVs to PIVs.
2 - It does not matter that you are not a programmer, you are a link between the team and the really fantastic community and I assure you that your communications, to the point where you are carrying them, are quite cold, very understandable and very useful as a witness put it inside and the outside. I'm just one more particular, but I doubt you're doing it fantastically, really, you can be pretty cool about it.
As for my query about waiting for the final update, I understand that with your simple assessment of being able to do so, it does not involve added risks. And believe me, some, beyond waiting for it for their own convenience, we value it not to disturb the project itself, which, in such a delicate point, we prefer in the hands of those who know more as far as possible.
A greeting and encouragement. Thank you very much.

Just to clear some things up here while I have time.  0. Current latest wallet version is 3.0.4 RC3. Yes. RC 3. Released today. If you are running anything below it, please upgrade by following link below. https://forum.pivx.org/t/pivx-core-wallet-3-0-4-rc3-release-10-25-2017/We hope this to be the last RC build if all goes well.  1. Seems many people are using the same copy of the wallet.dat on multiple different PCs. This is not recommended as it has been the cause of many incorrect zPIV balance issues. 2. Initial 3.0.0 wallet had a bug where it caused more than 10% being auto-minted into zPIV. That issue has since been fixed. Current 3.0.4 RC does not do that and now keeps it at 10%. But if you are over that, it won't auto-revert excess zPIV back to PIV. So need to do it manually. e.g. From the Privacy tab, send zPIV back to your address. It will then convert it back to PIV. There was a video demonstration about passing PIVs to ZPIVs manually, although the disproportionate automint made it not necessary to do so, as many people found themselves with excess ZPIVs. Have you thought of doing a reverse, ZPIVs to PIVs, to unify criteria in that process that affects so many people? It could save a lot of particular actions that are made due to ignorance or technical limitations of the users that you later look forward to correct. The devs team should always keep in mind that PIVX maintainers are not programmers.3. Currently, zPIV spend has a max limit of 7 denominations per single Spend transaction. e.g. If you want to send 17 zPIV and if you only have 7 x 1 zPIV and 1 x 10 zPIV, it will fail. You will get an error "failed to find coin set less than maxspend" if it goes over 7 denoms. 4. Those who would like to disable zPIV auto-mint feature can do so. Just add zerocoinmint=0 to the pivx.conf and restart wallet. You can still manually mint zPIV. Can also be done by changing the preferred denomination value very high in Tools - Options. Then it won't auto-mint if the amount needed to reach 10% zPIV balance is lower than that. Do you still prefer the automint activated by default? I understand that the ACTIVE action coming from a unilateral/centralized decision that totally falls within the personal scope of the holders and in their right to own Zpivs or not, is that of the automint, and that this action should be no longer limited, but "not enabled" by default, but ok, it's good to report that it may be limited and how, thanks.5. Whenever you mint zPIV, it writes a new "key" for that zPIV serial to your current running wallet.dat. This means is that your older backup of wallet.dat will have no clue about the new zPIV you minted. This is because your newly minted zPIV is not associated with your existing addresses, hence private. 6. Implementing this level of advanced Zerocoin protocol has never been done on ANY coin let alone PoS. So although unintended, $hit can happen to put it simply. So yeah, always backup your latest wallet.dat.  7. Zerocoin isn't the end. This is just zPIV 1.0. It's just the beginning. Developers have already begun working on the next iteration of zPIV. Really exciting things will begin to unfold from now on. So hang on. The expectations of an active and functioning zerocoin are splendid, there we all agree and the massive collaboration of the community in terms of their unconditional disposition to the guidelines of the programming team is the greatest proof of it ... but it would not be better dump before their analysis 100% and their work in rebalancing the balances of the huge amount of wallets affected ... to continue after advancing in the zerocoin all together? The synchrony of the project is very important.
I greatly appreciate your contribution to the rebalancing of the situation, jakiman. Huge and very honestly. I am also aware that establishing a clear and effective channel of action before so many people and their varied capacity for understanding and response is very delicate. But ... beyond that, which is reflected very positively in your post, could you make an extra effort in the follow-up that this information has on the players and their operations? I mean answering your later questions - or delegating to someone who does, but identifying yourself as a member of the devs team , so as not to lose the unity of criteria that can be given by contributions, well-integrated, but outside the official group - so they have the right concepts before taking any steps that can affect both your balance sheets and the stability of the system. That is hugely important for everyone - and I am allowed to re-focus on the technical limitations of the various users of PIVX.
Finally, my main question, as a basic user of PIVX, would be the following: Wait for the final wallet creates added risks? Do you see it inappropriate or dangerous for technically limited users?
Thank you very much, greetings and good, the best luck for our boat. |

I am still concerned about my zpiv balance being like 43% of my total balance.
I don't want that...in fact, I dont want any zpiv until I need to use it..is that even an option?
Also, I have not UNENCRYPTED my wallet to stake, I will wait for the official version...
Can you change your ZPIVs to original PIVs? Is this possible to do ? It is allowed ? It's certainly possible with 3.0.4 RC2 because I've done it. I wanted to start my masternodes again (had been staking) so I've successfully un-done the zPiv conversion and am now back to 100% PIV. I really like the zero coin feature though and everything has been working well over the past few days. vffffff ... this is fantastic, congratulations. Do you think there is any danger of waiting for a definitive wallet? (Without opening the wallet and not making use of it )  well i have multiple backups. loading up an older backup or loading up the backup made right after my wallet sent this 19k coins to the accumulator does not help so far  Good idea ! and Good luck with those previous backups. From what I read, it looks like backups have not saved the private key for each address. I have the habit of doing backup and also a dumpprivkey , all saved in 2 diferents external devices, so I understand that this would help restore the wallet. But, well, now, best wishes for you and those previous backups. _____________________________________________________ Thanks to all the Pivians for their contributions, let's hope that Jakiman is updating all these circumstances with the new portfolio and the conclusions that are coming out of the process. |

Hello Berron In your personal opinion, do you think we will finally recover our coins? And another thing: You think that for those who do not have great idea of configuiración, etc ... it is good to remain without updating the wallet until there is one in conditions ... or is it better to renew each update? (That implies risks of making some mistake for those who are not very familiar with those steps) Thank you. |

@jakimanI am sure you will have a lot of work, but I would appreciate you not forgetting here in btctalk the exact way to approach the optimization of the wallet. From what I read in reddit (I do not have access to slack) it seems that you already have conversions from Zpivs to PIVs ... if that were fixed it would be a great achievement. I hope you can take care of the Pivians here and also, please bear in mind that many do not have level for complicated configurations and you can provide solutions as simple as possible and what I told you before about whether it is possible to wait for the wallet final or not, because I still do not know. The best luck and thanks for the attention. P.S. please be grateful for the help of other comments, but I think it is very important to identify yourself as a member of the PIVX team or not. I think it is important to unify criteria to know if an opinion is official and according to the internal slogans or only a particular opinion, which can be very accurate too ... but it must be taken as external and in its right measure.
thank you, i only wait the opinion of some member of the PIVX team. They know the problem.
I just want to know if the PIVX team considers the update mandatory or not ... and how to proceed in either case.
Like many Pivians, I did not even understand that my PIVX were going to be changed or disappeared or I dont understand what the problem is, the obligations, or the decisions that are being made.
Theres too much changes to make something without the correct information.

I have installed the 3.0.4 RC2 version and have resynched and it seems to be working.
I am still concerned about my zpiv balance being like 43% of my total balance.
I don't want that...in fact, I dont want any zpiv until I need to use it..is that even an option?
Also, I have not UNENCRYPTED my wallet to stake, I will wait for the official version...
Can you change your ZPIVs to original PIVs? Is this possible to do ? It is allowed ? |

@birdonthewire
I have the same feeling about installing a RC version and will wait a bit until the dev makes a final version.
Not sure if i do good or bad with waiting ...

What I post about new wallet releases or news updates are all facts and up to date at the time of my post.
Right now, 3.0.4 RC2 is the latest wallet and is the ONLY wallet that everyone should be using right now.
So if you want to have a working wallet at present, then please update to 3.0.4 RC2 & ensure you are on the right chain.
If it is deemed stable for few more days by community & devs, then I expect a final wallet build will be released.
Thanks jakiman But is there an obligation to update the wallet if it is not official? Is there a OBLIGATION YES or NO Many are not devs and if the steps are complicated and we fail, then we will have passed the responsibility of all those mistakes. And many do not understand anything about what happens, nor what is wrong ... nothing. I would leave you 2 simple questions: 1- Is it not possible to wait until there is an OFFICIAL and safe solution? 2- What do we gain from updating the wallet to that new "middle" wallet? (Recognize ZPIVs on balance? Can Zpivs be passed to original PIVs? (I would like to do staking, but in these circumstances, I think I'd better wait and I'd rather get to a normal state of blockchain, with balance recognition, correct transfers, etc.). I do not say it out of selfishness, but because it seems more logical that this test do others who know more. Do not you think? Thank you very much. |

Is there any way to stake at the moment? You can currently stake, run masternodes etc using the latest release candidate wallet which is RC2. Wallet is available on github for those inclined and knows what to do. Final version to come later. https://github.com/PIVX-Project/PIVX/releases/tag/v3.0.4RC2You will most likely need to perform a full resync of the blockchain to get back on the right chain. e.g. stop wallet, upgrade, delete (blocks, chainstate, zerocoin, sporks, peers.dat), then restart the wallet for full resync. If you just update our wallet but do not full resync, your wallet could cause the network to split again. Then make sure you are on the right chain by matching your block/hash with presstab block explorer. Presstab explorer link = http://www.presstab.pw/phpexplorer/PIVX/index.phpCan follow this KB = https://pivx.freshdesk.com/solution/articles/30000004667Network Update: PIVX network is getting stronger each day now with healthy network difficulty. Hopefully, we'll see a final wallet release within days. Hi, Jakiman, please : In an earlier post, you post an "OFFICIAL" update. It is time already of an "OFFICIAL". I would ask for a lot of clarity, since I have no more notion than the usual updates through windows .exe and of course, I ignore processes with programming, binaries, etc. I am referring to a wallet 3.0.2 with your backup made and with your private keys saved too and all stored in 2 external devices. That's what I got. In these data, the sum of PIVs and ZPIVs matches the original quantity of PIVs before all updates, the only error was that it could not return the Zpivs to their original state in PIVs. Please, as clear as possible. Thank you. |
