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

Can we have a simple explanation of how this proposal system works? (not a how to, but just highlevel on how it works)
Is this something only DNET has or do other coins with masternodes have this system also?

Can we have a simple explanation of how this proposal system works? (not a how to, but just highlevel on how it works)

PIVX (as you say, originally DarkNet, or DNET) originated in late 2015/early 2016 as a fork of DASH. While the two projects have since evolved and diverged significantly, PIVX and DASH share similar proposal models.

The best comprehensive explanation is still the one on the PIVX website: https://pivx.org/proposals/ However, here's a quick TL;DR version.

A portion of every block of PIVX is allocated to the budget. Previously, this was 0.5 Piv out of every block of 5; once the new wallet is released, it will be 1 Piv out of every block of 6. The budget is used to fund PIVX development (e.g., paying the Devs, etc.) and also to support community-backed initiatives on an 'as-available, as-approved' basis. The latter is where the proposal system comes in. Basically, anyone** can propose an idea to the community, lobby for it, submit it to the blockchain, and have the community vote on it. If voted in, the proposal is implemented and, if applicable, supported by funds from the budget. Note that, along with all fees on the PIVX network, any budget that remains after all expenses have been paid in a given month (i.e., Dev salaries, funds allocated to implementing approved proposals, etc.) is permanently burnt. Thus, there is a tradeoff between adding new features and reducing the total supply.

**Currently, while anyone can propose and lobby for a new idea, voting can only take place through Masternodes. There are various ideas on how to further democratize this, with a more inclusive community governance model expected to be developed in the future. As of now, though, there's no set timeframe on this.

[...] As i said my position is more we have place to trade and buy or sell more pivx will be strong. For exemple i was on bittrex. When i searched coins if the coin was not on bittrex i coudn't buy it because i did not want open a new account in another trading place. During his period i just bought coins available on bittrex... Some buyer's  have few places to trade and other like me just one.

Yes, I understand. But my point is that 90% of altcoin investors will have an account with at least one of Binance, UpBit, Bittrex, etc. Of course we should always aim for more + better exchanges, which is what the community fund supports, but we are already in good shape (even moreso with the recent listing on https://fexpro.io/).

Pivx can be great  in Q3 of 2018, I think it can easily be number 20 on coinmarketcap.

Would you mind giving me more details which led you to such positive predictions on PIVX price in Q3 of 2018, please.

PIVX will continue to grow and develop, with many new features upcoming (https://pivx.org/what-is-pivx/roadmap/). No one can accurately predict the future, and no one can say what the price will be in Q2, Q3, or the year 2024. But if the PIVX team continues to deliver on its promises, there's reason to be optimistic for the future.

Hello,

 Place to trade we don't have : Bitfinex, kraken,  poloniex ,bithumb, hitbtc, Huobi, OkEx, Bitflyer (Japan very important...)
I hope we will have more market place in future. With development it should be.

v3.1.0 Update from @Fuzzbawls: "We're currently looking into guarding against a highly unlikely, yet technically possible, issue with block creation and budget payouts. Not the same as the budget issue we already fixed."

QA & Dev teams are tenacious; leaving no stone unturned.

This budget proposal thing looks like an amazing feature. We can even start a proposal for Poloniex listing right Smiley. Anyone knows how much will be their listing charge.

There are actually 2 places to stake this coin:

Cloud mining - 50 Ghs free: https://www.cryptominingfarm.io
The best Exchange: https://www.binance.com

This is phishing for referral bonuses (read the underlying URLs). I have no problem helping people out if they're up front and honest about it, but come on, man. This isn't doing you or the staking pool spammers any favours.

Anyway, here's the obligatory reminder about the risks of using staking pools, and the fact that the ONLY time you should consider using them is if you have a very small amount of PIVX and are willing to take the risks. Also, most of the other referral links listed are for things that are potentially sketchy and have nothing to do with PIVX (exceptions: Binance, which is a great exchange, and CoinPayments, which can be a useful service--though you can sign up for both without using @jogade's sneaky referral links).

any current price basically irrelevant, only speculations, profit takers... The real (pumped) price will come after polo announcement, just wait for it

This is why PIVX is the best privacy coin of 2018.

PIVX was not an ICO and was announced 2015 and fairly launched in Jan 2016 as PoW. Then successfully switched to PoS in late 2016.

PIVX has dedicated development team of more than 10 people who are paid monthly salary by its budget. Incentivized to keep working.

PIVX has dedicated Marketing, Support, QA, Exchange Compliance & Translation team. All compensated by its monthly budget.

PIVX has implemented many firsts in crypto. Its developers are actually trying to advance blockchain & cryptographic technology. Not just fork around.

PIVX has 2 dedicated PhD candidate cryptographers (1 being Bulletproofs author himself) plus a mathematician improving its ZK proofs significantly.

PIVX Zerocoin protocol privacy using ZK proofs is second to none. No historic record vulnerability like Monero nor potential traceability of Coinjoin.

PIVX has a clear goal. To become a leader in privacy-centric "cryptocurrency" with excellent decentralization, security, speed, governance & usability.

PIVX is a grassroots DAO project. No big budget ICO involved here. Anyone can get involved at any time and help achieve its goal / manifesto.

PIVX will soon have another crypto first. Private Staking called zPoS allowing you to stake your hidden PIVX zerocoins (zPIV) & earn rewards privately.

After zPoS, next big project is zDEX. It will be the first in-wallet decentralized exchange that will allow you to buy & sell Zerocoins (zPIV). (no middlemen)

Just check its github. You can see the code source and developments. However, the one thing everyone overlooks...is #UPF.

PIVX already integrates quite well with Tor, and has been doing so for a long time already.

Are the big motivations to boost the price of PIVX up to over $10?
It might take months to surpass the point of $10.
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/pivx/
However, monthly income from PIVX masternode is too low, which stayed at $270 for such over $56k investment.
https://masternodes.online/currencies/PIVX/

I would say Motivations are to create a Private (Anonymous), Instant (fast), Verified (secure), Transaction (currency) , driven by the community who are rewarded by supporting the network and deciding on direction by voting.

You can invest as little as 1 PIV and stake to get rewarded however the more you have increases your chances and frequency.

FYI, work on the new 3.1.0 wallet is now complete and it's being compiled for official release. Assuming all goes to plan, that means private ZPiv staking should be active in the next week or so.
