Topic: [ANN][PIVX] - PRIVATE INSTANT VERIFIED TRANSACTION - PROOF OF STAKE - ZEROCOIN - page 17. (Read 782450 times)

Our 3.3.0 testnet testing is coming to a close! We've had over a week's time to allow for testers to participate in the spending of testnet zPIV and to give feedback. Thus far, all the feedback we have received has been positive, and neither ourselves or any tester has found any issues with the spending of testnet zPIV.

We will be moving forward with the release of 3.3.0 shortly after the upcoming budget superblock, which is currently scheduled to occur on or around June 16th. We decided to goto release after the superblock so as to avoid any potential miscounts in votes due to MNs being restarted, which will be required due to the protocol update. And, just so everyone is aware well in advance, 3.3.0 will be a mandatory update. We will be giving the standard ~7 days update window, with zPIV spending capabilities being restored between June 25 and June 28.

It is important to note that v1 zPIV, which was announced as deprecated on May 1, 2018, and new v1 mints being disallowed on May 8, 2018, will NOT be spendable in the initial 3.3.0 release. We are not abandoning those with v1 zPIV, not by any means, but in order to allow for the majority of zPIV to be spent (which is v2 zPIV) sooner rather than later, a decision needed to be made to exclude v1 zPIV for the time being. v1 zPIV spending will be restored in a future update.

Is PIVX still good to buy at price now ? I see last years PIVX very strong to up and up at exchange bittrex, many people got profit.

Yes, you are right we need to wait until we see some development release from the team because maybe they are updating something in the background and sooner we might see wallet issues will be resolved? We need to wait until we see some progress from them.

I think right now everyone is having the same issue -  I have 500 zPIV that I can't access - very inconvenient. It looks like the next release is supposed to fix this.

my wallet isnt allowing me to convert zpiv to piv. anyone else having these issues?\

If the government does not approve coins with blockchain-based private transactions, PIVX is still in the clear as it currently has a transparent option. Also, the use case of PIVX (or any other cryptocurrency) doesn't just lie in spending it as a form of payment. It can also be utilized as a private store of wealth and be used as a private gateway to another supported cryptocurrency for payment if need be. The potential of being able to simply maintain balance & transaction privacy while owning PIVX creates its value IMO.

Pivx is private coin. How to use it if government did not autorize the coin in  my country ? How to do business with ? Exemple : sell something and accept pivx payment will not possible if government banned private coin like pivx or other's. Tell me if i'm wrong but the only possibility to spend pivx it's going to a country who accept  pivx payment ? Is  zdex project will surge one day i'm not hurry ? if yes can we change pivx with bitcoin or others crypto ? Thanks in advance for your answers ..

welp, this project went to shit...
lol
sad.

They do not have common developers. PIVX core developers are only dedicated to PIVX development.
There is no hostility and they do discuss some stuff if common code is involved but that's about it.
