Thanks for the link, it's good that info is being put out about it.  However the worry I have (and DRPD in a post earlier) that this bit:

If you are seeing (or not) a smaller count than you should have in your wallet head over to the privacy tab and you will find the lost amount allocated here as “unconfirmed.” They will be available to you as soon as the developers release an updated wallet version.

... is not true in my case, all the TXs are confirmed, and 2K has just "gone".  Now SevenHacks in the slack channel says the new version will fix this, so it will be ok I hope..

What the fuck guys? Forced autoconverting into zPIV is very unprofessional.

And it's converted way more than 10%.

zPIV Update

See the zPIV spend issues listed here. They have now been fixed.
You'll be able to recover your missing zPIVs with the new update.
https://github.com/PIVX-Project/PIVX/pull/280 (edited)

Also, the auto-mint minting more than 10% has been fixed.
https://github.com/PIVX-Project/PIVX/pull/282 (edited)

And will auto-backup the wallet with every new zPIV mint.
https://github.com/PIVX-Project/PIVX/commit/3c3bd1824206ad80bb9ac811b5cc5219b3f86943

Please expect the new wallet to be available within a day or two.

Know one has posted under your account for a long time (at least in this thread). So I don't think any damage has been done by "you."

Good to know nothing is done here so far. But he is active in many other threads with my account.

Was not the best result, unfortunately. The autoconvert was for liquidity which I appreciate the possible need for, but the more than 10% was ick.

Yeah. I mean, we did have the option to opt out, if we had actually read all the details released over the past while. I certainly didn't It's too bad about the more than 10% bit, but at least it sounds like they're on top of a new wallet release to address it.

Side question: Any idea if PIV and zPIV are considered equivalent for the purposes of staking or masternoding? Like if you had 7000 PIV and 3000 zPIV, could you run a MN? And if you staked, would you be staking 10K, or 7K, or 3K, or...?

[noobtrader]

is there any way to turn those zpiv into pivx, does zpiv also get reward  from staking

[minergoldsw]

I've read a lot of posts about the PIVX 3.0 Wallet's Auto Mint.

PIVX released this video before zPiV was put into action.

It's hard to hear the guy in the video, so you'll have to turn the volume up,
but it does talk about how you can adjust or shut-down the AutoMint feature

The issue is we trust the devs to do the right thing so we don't read into the details. We are in crypto space hoping that everyone will be fair, not saying what PIVx did with the auto convert was not fair. Devs should have made a point that it was going to autoconvert just in case someone missed it, it seems critical to let people know what is happening when they see their coins diminishing. Instead we all found out the hard way and now we know to read the details and not just blindly trust the devs.

Either way, I am happy to see the progress PIVx has made. Besides that one overlooked mistake, devs are doing a good job with the project.

Yes, but changes like these should be opt-in, not opt-out. Feels like less decentralized where devs force changes like this to unsuspecting users. Yeah, it could have been disabled but not everyone knew about it in time and it's worded such that only exchanges should use it.

Also, despite all the testing it's still problematic (~30% autoconvert, can't send, sending takes forever) which doesn't look good.

How can I join pivx slack?
the invite link in their website didn't work

[Virtuoso]

I read the post about the HitBTC prcie for adding Pivx. This is way to much mony for a adding, because they will also make a lot of money with the trading. I didn´t think that these guys are so greedy before.

[lucv]

I it only me or runs the latest version very slow on raspberry ?
It takes more then a minute do get the result from 'pivx-cli getinfo'.

[der_meister]

I'm getting "Failed to find coin set amongst held coins with less than maxNumber of Spends".
I'm trying to send my zPiv to one of my pivx addresses in order to stake with them. I'm selecting all zPiv denominations and send a number of coins equal or less, but every time it threw this error. Any ideas?

[Anthony1985]

Was the issue with Zpiv fixed? Can I convert them to Pivx and send it on my Ledger wallet?

Over 35% of my Pivx is converted into zPiv and it seems keep converting. I have no choice but shut down the wallet.... feeling frustrated......

Any method to converted the zPiv into Piv again?
