[ANN][PIVX] - PRIVATE INSTANT VERIFIED TRANSACTION - PROOF OF STAKE - ZEROCOIN

[catInsIn]

Where can I find help on Piv coins not being deposited into my wallet nor sending out of my wallet?
Updated wallet to 2.2.1, wallet is syncing, gets rewards. Just can't move piv coins from Bittrex to it,
and can't send piv coins out of wallet. Both wallet and Bittrex show piv action of withdrawal,
but I see no piv deposited into either.
I see all the withdrawals on the blockchains too.
Do I need to re-index the wallet?

Delete everything but the wallet.dat and reboot the wallet and re downlaod the blockchain

Well, that worked. Actually, what I did was re-index the wallet. So, that gave me my funds back. But then all of the thousands of Piv
that I had from staking my wallet are now gone! So, that's nice.

So, I tried again but this time by deleting all files (except the 5 folders since need an icon to load the pivx wallet) and loaded a previously
saved wallet.dat file. But still, no minted coins...atleast I have my original amount of Pivx.

So,really, I'm wondering just how dedicated the developers are to this coin? It seems they just might not be totally honest about it.
Are they gonna dump this coin and leave us high and dry?
It gives no confidence for new adoptees of cyrptocurrencies.  

We are all sick of the fiat banking system and want an honest system that doesn't cheat people.

So, developers, do you mean to be credible and make this new revolutionary system a go for the good of all humankind or are you just
in it for yourselves just like the current fiat banking system?

It sounds like you were on the wrong side of a fork that happened when a few hundred masternodes went down. Which would be why you did not receive you funds from Bittrex. Any stakes that you received after the fork would not be on the actual chain, hence you would loose them when you resync to proper chain.

I can't think of a day that I haven't worked on PIVX in the last month.

There are also 3 other core developers that are extremely active in their development of the coin. I also was able to convince my buddy (works in enterprise software development) to start spending a few nights a week working on PIVX.

The thing is, most of the time developers are... well developing.

exact thing that happened to me...all staking done on the wrong chain led to immature coins and none were credited to me when I got back on the correct fork.

Hold on a second, my wallet forked as well and I had about 6-7 stake rewards that I got while on the wrong chain, obviously those are lost but how did you have thousands of pivx generated on the wrong chain ? This happened like a week ago and if you were on the wrong chain all that time, you couldn't generate thousands of blocks alone by yourself. If you really generated that many offchain rewards and didn't notice it is sad.

I wondered the exact same thing when I first heard about PIVX. PIVT is (sorta) pronounceable which is important for marketing.

P - Private
I - Instant
V - Verified
X - Transaction (letter play on transaction abbreviation "tx")

I think "Piv-X" phoenetically sounds much better than "Pivt"

...but I suppose you could've called PIVT "pivot" which would've been a clever word play on it's fork origin

No point in talking about name change, this was debated last year and PIVx was the result.

PIVX is Private Instant Verified eXchange.
Exchange which synonymous to transactions.

[Densitymax]

If you calculate the profit from the masternodes, then it pays for itself in 10 years?

hello all

thanks for all the anwers, i realy dit not new.

to bad i had to re-resinc my wallet and all my stakes (70 pivx) are gone, so the wallet dit fork

gr xms

[bobitza202]

What's with the fork?I bought a little pivx a few months ago, i'm not staking, everything is just offline cold storage for long term, with private key backup.Do i need to do any swap or something?or is it ok to just leave it there and just import private key when i need to spend in the future?

[bathrobehero]

I just forked again...

The wallet was working fine for weeks until these last couple of days.

[dgmon]

Unintentional forks are a sign that the target blocktime is too fast.  Devs, I hope you will consider slowing it down a bit.  With Instant-X you don't really need a 1-minute block time.

[bathrobehero]

It's not the blocktime.

I've been told the forks were caused by coin-server (which hosts a lot of masternodes) going down.

Apparently every time a significant amout of masternodes go offline at the same time a fork could happen due to the masternode payment enforcement.


This is a serious problem I think.

Sure, people shouldn't use centralized masternode hosting services but realistically, people won't move their masternodes to other more reliable but more expensive hosts.

Something should be done to make sure the network is unaffected if/when a lot of masternodes go offline simultaneously. Otherwise the network can be attacked any time.


I might be wrong though but what's clear that it's a bad timing to have forking issues.

thanks bathrobehero i'm 100% with you!

~10% of my nodes forked 3 times in the last 7 days and i noticed the last masternode drop yesterday. my nodes forked at same time ofc

Something should be done to make sure the network is unaffected if/when a lot of masternodes go offline simultaneously. Otherwise the network can be attacked any time.

The core developers are already working on this, but since this is a big change on how masternodes handle each other every possible side effect must be considered, and all changes must be very carefully tested before a release.
In other words, it will need a while until it's implemented.

It's always a bad time to have forking issues :-)
Fortunately most users are not affected by this.

yes it is, specialy when wallet forks
