Nothing will change until the devs have done Zerocoin. Too much negativity regarding the price so no one wants it at the moment.
The Devs don't want to commit to any timeline and this is one of the results. Other coins give timelines and regular update so the community know whether they are on track or behind schedule.
No doubt great work by the Devs, and they are definitely genuine, but this tree hugging community with no leadership is a failure so far. This behaviour is a failure in the real world, but the "swarm" mentality obviously gave someone a hard on.
I look forward to being proved wrong!?
To be fair, BTC is having a great pump since a few days. However the price of PIVX is still around 1$. Furthermore there was quite a negative campaign by the dash pushers. They may have some how tainted the perception of the project. However it doesn't change the fact that the distribution is one of the fairest, widest and most diverse among all alts.
Like the devs said it's better to release a stable, working and safe zerocoin protocol than to rush something just for the pleasure of some pumpers here. However you are right, zerocoin will be a game changer. So better make it right.
Concerning your perceived lack of leadership, I totally disagree. The devs, the marketing team, jacky, dprd and all those involved are making great efforts toward the chain. I am sure you could do more. Moreover there is now the budgeting system working, you can too make proposals. If you lack a masternode to put it to vote, someone could do it, you just have to convince on the validity of your proposal.
Then there is the poloniex issue. It apprears that poloniex has been convinced for now that pivx is a clone of dash. they seem to forget that it's a POS coin, making it asicresistant and already as such a total fork of dash with it's asic war. Then when the zerocoin protocol is implemented I wouldn't be surprise that another evaluation by the polo team may lead to different results.
One big piece of the puzzle lacking is the mobile wallet. Mobile wallet + Pos Chain + private tx backed by zeroprotocol + staking possibilities may finally unlock real world usage.
Then concerning bittrex, it's 0.25% fees per trades, while at cryptopia it's only 0.20% is there a cheaper exchange? and finally and sadly my staking wallet crashed during the week-end... the os was working just no wallet open
.
So the chain is quite young, lot of works to be done but in the meantime keep staking or masternoding and spread the word
.
have a nice week all (and lots of new stakes).
@HEISENAIR what do you want? an eta for Zerocoin Protocol implementation?
anybody with experience in software development know that this is not possible. afaik this has never done before, so any eta would just be wrong.
there were some good post from dev presstab here about development and the team estimates 3 -6 months afaik:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.19019642https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.19019526a good list with things allready accomplished
and in works here
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.19124483i realy don't know what you want more? it was and is allways a main principle from main dev s3v3nh4cks to not create hype. i can support that 100%.
if you can't live with that i suggest you just sell your pivx and move on (no offense btw.)
@B1tUnl0ck3r
Livecoin echange has 0.2% fee decreasing lower with 30 day volume, u can read here:
https://www.livecoin.net/en/feesnote: i have 0 experience with livecoin exchange .....
just want to add one last thing for today. masternode count is raising and i guess the amount of staking coins is too (not sure if or where one can check this).
so i guess some new peeps are in PIVX for the long run.
happy staking and noding all
, also, daily/24h volume doesn't seem to be affected 
.
