In which PoS Phase X is the PIVX at that moment? Both in coinpayments and in Cointopay can I use PIVX as a payment currency?

If you are wondering how the stake rewards are done, the image below is a good explanation

An extra note about the treasury:

Up to 1 Piv per block is allocated to the treasury. That means that every month, or 43,200 blocks, there is a potential of up to 43,200 Piv that can be spent on budget items (i.e., Dev salaries + marketing + successful proposals + etc.). However, only the total of Piv that is needed for that month's budget is actually created. For example, if (hypothetically) salaries + ... + ... + ... = 23,600 this month, then only 23,600 Piv would be created, NOT 43,200. The total number of Piv needed for the budget in any given month are created as a single superblock per month, not with each 'normal' block that's found. Since the budget ask is typically lower than the maximum possible allowance, this means that in effect, less than 1 Piv/block is actually created, and overall inflation is lower than would be implied by thinking of each block as being deterministically 6 Piv in size. In fact, the effective block size in a given month can vary between 5 and 6 Piv depending on how much budget is actually needed, and therefore how many Piv are created in that month's superblock.

Please fix orphan blocks in zpiv staking. I get 70-80% orphan blocks

stop unscrupulous fuding I know many alts are bleeding at the moment (without mentioning names) take your quest there

[CarlOrff]

can you confirm to me that PIVX to an unlimited monetary creation (no max supply) ?
If not, what is the limit of the monetary creation of Pivx ?
Thank you.

To be fair, many people are getting orphan blocks with zPiv staking so while 80% may be higher than average, this isn't FUD. The Devs are aware of the issue and are working to improve it.

If you 'watch' the PIVX GitHub, you'll see that multiple changes have been made since the last release to address this. https://github.com/PIVX-Project/PIVX

Presstab (one of the Devs) has also recommended that you include

Code:

banscore=10000 bantime=60

in your .conf file (you'll need to restart the wallet after editing the .conf).

You might also want to run

Code:

clearbanned

in the console to make sure you aren't accidentally banning peers that don't need to be banned.

Neither of these are magic solutions, but they will increase your connections and reduce orphans as much as possible. And remember that you can always stake normal Piv instead until the zPiv orphan rate is reduced.

Like most PoS coins, PIVX has no predetermined max supply. However, two things: One, all fees on the network are permanently burned, meaning that as the network is used more, inflation will decrease (and, since fees for zPiv transactions are higher, inflation will decrease even more as private transactions become more common). In theory, PIVX could become deflationary with sufficient network usage. And two, while the inflation rate assumes that 1 Piv per block is allocated to the treasury, only the amount actually needed by the treasury in a given month is created (i.e., usually much less than 1 Piv per block), which reduces inflation even more.

So: PIVX has no max supply, but it has low inflation and it's possible for the supply to actually decrease under some circumstances (high network usage + low treasury allocation). Also, @CarlOrff, nice work with Carmina Burana.

Obligatory reminder that any kind of staking pool is risky because you don't control your own private keys. You should only consider using a service such as this if you have a very small number of PIVX and are willing to accept the increased risk.

I think there is a lot of PoS currencies with fixed max supply (in my memory).

Since several days, I watch the PIVX masternode reward with this website : https://masternodes.online/currencies/PIVX/?convert=EUR.
.. and this reward is very curious : it can be $4 a day or $50 a day.
Is that a bug from the masternode.online website or it is the true ?
I know that the PIVX reward is adaptative between PoS and masternode, but here it is a lot (x12) in a very few time (in the same day) !!!

Can somebody explain to me please ?

There are some, yes, you're right--I should have just left it at 'most' (I edited the original post to reflect this). QTUM is one example, although the max won't be reached for 31 years. OMG will eventually be another. Others, such as NEO and VEN/VET, have a fixed supply of the 'governance token' and then pay rewards in a separate 'utility token' whose supply may or may not be capped (e.g., GAS will reach a max supply of 100 mil. in ~22 years, whereas VeThor has no max supply). However, many PoS or DPoS coins have no fixed supply (e.g., XLM [not quite PoS, but similar outcome], Lisk, Ark, Strat, Nav, ETH [for now], PIVX, etc.). Note that many of the coins with no fixed maximum use other techniques, such as PIVX's fee burning/budget creation, to restrict the supply anyway.

I suspect that's an idiosyncrasy of that site. Generally, MNs reward at a very consistent rate--they are not subject to the same degree of 'luck'-based fluctuation as staking. You may find this site more reliable: http://178.254.23.111/~pub/DN/DN_masternode_payments_stats.html

Nice hidden referral link there. Why not at least be up front and honest about it rather than phishing? Seriously, inherent issues with staking pools aside, this service would be a lot more compelling if its users didn't spend their lives endlessly spamming about it with shady tactics.

And, once again for everyone else out there, any kind of staking pool is risky because you don't control your own private keys. You should only consider using a service such as this if you have a very small number of PIVX and are willing to accept the increased risk.

I think you misunderstood me. I dare to say that PIVX has maybe the best developers in the cryptospace (look at their github commits compared to other coins) and is severely undervalued compared to other privacy coins. This is a minor, or even a non-issue (that it is being fixed as we speak) if you see the big picture. I buy as many PIVX as I can, when I am able to do so.

Another great release, you can now store your masternode collateral securely on a ledger hardware wallet

I would suggest to suggest Pivians to actually read the full article about dzPIV seed. They can do a bit of damage and even lose funds if it's misused.

[OfficialBitPro]

https://BitPro.cc now accepts Pivx as well.

Because our site is completely free of trackers, requires no javascript and an account is optional, it works nicely to protect your privacy when you pay using zPIV.

Good news !!!

PIVX is added to Blocknet / BlockDX (Decentralized exchange & communication protocol between many different blockchains). You can trade and build dapps for your favorite coin.

YoBit has been in maintenance for months (almost a year) now because they are a terrible exchange. The PIVX team bugged them about it for a long time last year, but they may have given up since YoBit hasn't responded to any communication (you could ask on Discord for the latest updates). Your best option is to sell to BTC and transfer to an exchange that isn't complete shit (Binance and Cryptopia don't ask for verification if you want a 'traditional' exchange; flyp.me is also a good option).

An interesting feature-the creators have not fixed the maximum number of coins that makes the currency with the usual money. They also provided for inflation of 4% and regularly release new coins to the market, motivating users to spend and struggling with savings.
