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

[GreenFirefly]

How can I setup masternode only in my local wallet (without VPS)? Have you guide for this case?

It's actually more secure (and not at all hard) to set up a remote MN so I don't know of many recent guides for doing it locally (especially now that MN collateral can be held on a Ledger). Here's the original version, from the man himself 1 day after the network went live:

OK, It's pretty easy to create a masternode,

Create an Address and Name it MN1 or whatever you want. Send 10k (exactly 10k) DNET to this address. Wait until there are a minimum of 15 confirmations to the transaction.

Thank you, I'll try it.

One more question, if I use  pivx wallet app in android via VPN, does that help for the transaction being more private?

PIVX news release on Yahoo Finance
"PIVX 3.1 Wallet Release Implements 'First Ever' Tech"

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/pivx-3-1-wallet-release-120000635.html?guccounter=1

Congratulations!
But, I am curious about how to bring crypto project news on Yahoo Finance channel.
Is it free or small charge for news in Yahoo Finance, which has massive readers and has good potential to spread information of crypto projects out a bit.

Roadmap also says I2P will be integrated this year which should make the network privacy of PIVX fairly airtight.

In the new version, the wallet is slowly synchronized. Will this be fixed in the next releases?
And zPos normally works, without orphans of blocks?

If you try a snapshot and something goes wrong, the client does not pick it up and try to sync it from scratch. It will take about two days.As long as my Pivx is not lost,I am not a matter of waiting.

Could you give me explanations on your snapshot purposes, please.
Are there bounty/ airdrops which require snapshots?
Thanks.

No. There are no airdrops (although you're right, airdrops in other coins do rely on a snapshot of the blockchain, which is used to record who qualifies for the airdrop at the designated time).

In a broader sense, snapshots, or bootstraps, are a way of downloading the blockchain all at once, rather than syncing block-by-block. They get you back up and running again faster in the event that you encounter blockchain/sync issues. The only difference between a snapshot and a bootstrap is that the a bootstrap still requires some validation and is therefore potentially more secure; however, if you trust the source, it doesn't matter if you use a snapshot or a bootstrap.

You can download the daily snapshot here: http://178.254.23.111/~pub/PIVX/Daily-Snapshots-Html/PIVX-Daily-Snapshots.html

Or you can install the bootstrap here (not updated as frequently as the above): https://pivx.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/30000021125-using-the-bootstrap

TBH, I'm not sure exactly what the previous comment was saying. In general, syncing from scratch should take 3 - 6 hours depending on your connection, and bootstrapping/snapshotting should only take 10 - 15 mins to get you back to being fully synced.

I wonder, did the orphan issue with zPIV staking got fixed?

I wonder, did the orphan issue with zPIV staking got fixed?

Since no one else more knowledgeable has chimed in yet...

It's still an issue, in that people are still getting a lot of orphans. However, most users are reporting that they're receiving the correct number of accepted stakes, so while it's annoying, it doesn't seem to be affecting reward rates significantly.

The devs are aware of the situation and are working on a solution, plus some more upgrades. I don't know any more details than that, or an ETA for a new wallet release.

Thank you. From my initial tests, I earned roughly about 25% less coins staking zPIV as I did with PIV staking so the orphan rate (which I believe is around roughly 50%) seemed to be correct. But, my experience should not be taken as fact by any means because of variance.
