I just bought some PIVX beginning of this week for an average price of 0.000585 BTC each and thinking now that this was still a quite high price. The price didn't move much since then. I'm thinking that most the forum members here bought PIVX for a much lower price, or am I'm wrong? What was your average price?

anywhere to download the current blockchain?
We now have an official snapshot of the blockchain updated regularly at our official github. Go here to download the file: https://github.com/PIVX-Project/PIVX/releasesFilename: Pivx_Blockchain_Backup-<block_number>.zip Just wondering from a technical viewpoint: 1) Couldn't owners of masternodes deanonymised users by keeping logs? 2) What stops centralization of the ownership of masternodes?
Not meant to be a trick question, just wanna know what the differences are to Dash.
Right now, there is no difference to DASH in terms of masternode tech currently. But we will be making some big changes to how they work. (remove voting right, libzerocoin processing etc) I just bought some PIVX beginning of this week for an average price of 0.000585 BTC each and thinking now that this was still a quite high price.

You can only buy it for what you think is a good value. Same goes for Bitcoin or any other coin. We have a very large community that are doing a lot to ensure PIVX's future success. If you would like to see what is happening, I recommend you to join our Slack: slack.pivx.org

I've heard about PIVX last week ago and waited for a 'good moment' to go in despite people saying that it's just a Dash Clone and just another pump & dump coin. Anyway, I really think that PIVX is even better than Dash and deserves a top 10 rank at CoinMarketCap as well.

Hello! I'm trying to set up a masternode, everything seemed to be ok in the morning, like in the guide. After running the "masternode start-many" command the result was: “overall” : “Successfully started masternode, failed to start 0, total 1”, “detail” : “status” : “alias” : “masternode1”, “result” : “successful” Done. === But later today I tried to check it's status by running a command on the terminal: pivx-pli masternode status The response was: Not capable masternode: Hot node, waiting for remote activation The local wallet's response to "masternode start-many" is: { "overall" : "Successfully started 0 masternodes, failed to start 1, total 1", "detail" : { "status" : { "alias" : "masternode1", "result" : "failed", "errorMessage" : "Node just started, not yet activated" } } }
What should I do? Just start from scratch?

My average price is about the same. Bought gradually from in the range of $.35-$.80

Hmm. The first error, 'not capable', generally just means you haven't started the MN in your controller wallet. It's strange that doing so doesn't work for you. Have you tried using start-alias MASTERNODENAME rather than start-many? In the past, start-many used to cause issues sometimes so I only use start-alias now.

so you just pay him the phee? you buy the min coins and everything else is automated? the site doesnt describ much :S
No, he doesn't manage the node for you but he sets up the VPS. All you have to do is edit the conf file and do any other optional housekeeping you want. He's also easy to get hold of if there are technical issues. So...kind of intermediate between a managed service and having to do everything from scratch I guess.

And instead of using masternode tab, go to the console and type it. Masternode tab starts have been making me crazy for days

First of all, any inversion have risks, so make your own investigation about the coin and decide yourself. Don't let anyone decide for you what to make with your money (<- Ding, a key in crypto here ) And now, let the old man rant begin Well, this project has more than a year of life and you can explore the first pages of the thread to see the people who was here for the beginning. Easy, no tricks, if you now a bit about crypto you know that there are some of the biggest wallets of this coin. If you explore a bit more, you will find a kind community, with old users and few concerns about FUD and so on. And if you explore more, in... maybe page 170 or near, you will find the POS switch. During more than two weeks, devs and community works hard to get the first POS over Core 0.10.x (correct me here if I'm wrong) working. With lots of problems, wiht forks, and more forks... oh, shit, my 2 MN's have forked again... Devs and community made its best to get the solution and the wallet and the chain running again. And it finally worked nice, very nice And during that time, fortunately wallets were frozen in the market avoiding disasters, and some people sold. And I buy, a good bunch, cheap, really cheap, about 500-700 sat. And I hold, It was clear that devs know what they want and how to get there, and community was inteligent and responsible. Yes, in the last days I have sold a bit at 4k, 10k & 50k, about 1 MN but I continue holding. Maybe it will surpass some of the big ones or maybe it fails, but I know that a lot of work will be done. So I will continue to run my MN's, holding and stacking, and who knows, maybe one day I could carry a very comfort life with a fantastic pension fund in PIVx But remember, decision is yours. And now, let's go to dump some shit...

yes i have a mn, i've had many, but stupidly sold them long ago before even when they changed to PIVX. anyways, the hidden costs for a masternode would probably server hosting fee, and your time. the less you know, the more time you need to get it set up right and secure. but it's relatively easy and there's a lot of information on how to set one up now as compared to before. i say the minimum would be about a $5 server is enough. i use a digital ocean cloud server myself, it's easy to setup. i'd recomment a $20 server, so you may even set up other masternodes on there and play around with it. please use my ref link if you gonna try? https://m.do.co/c/f5bdb7836584 anyways or you can have someone else host it for you: for example http://my.mp-hosting.co.uk/index.phpi've heard good things about them. very inexpensive masternode hosting. that's about it...$20 and some of your time...now go get that mn go get that mn go.

10 minutes just to open and synchronize the wallet. You gotta be kidding me! That's after it has just been synchronized closed and reopened. I hope that someone is working on this. If PIVX is supposed to replace FIAT currency it has to be at least as easy and fast to use as a bank account. People don't want to wait 10 minutes before they can make a purchase. I can log into my bank account in about 1 minute so PIVX is about 10 times worse.

Not sure if this is just a troll comment or what. But Funny... Because I thought the wallet operates quite quickly. Synced from scratch the entire blockchain in a matter of hours. It's load time is quite quick comparative to other clients/wallets.

Whatever you do you have the cost of the 10k coins, of course. If you host your MN locally, your cost is the power consumed by leaving a computer running 24/7 (and the cost of the computer itself). If you use a VPS, it will range in price. I use mp-hosting, and it's $1.80/mo for each MN. Others have had good results with a variety of options (e.g., vultr or the options avitas mentioned). Since my linux skills are rudimentary, I find that $1.80/mo is a nice balance--they set up the server, but I manage the MN. Recently each MN makes $3-5/day anyway. There are no other hidden costs, unless you count the trivial transfer fees when you move coins around.
