For those who are new to PIVX, welcome!

I've updated this list and re-posting it here for those who missed it also.

What sets apart PIVX from other digital currencies? (or just general info summary)

00. PIVX launched with a name called Darknet back in Feb 1 2016. It has since been re-branded to PIVX from Jan 1 2017. Same devs. Same community.
01. PIVX is a open source crypto currrency based on DASH so it inherited its core technologies such as Masternodes, Private transactions and Instant Transactions.
02. PIVX uses Blackcoin's improved Proof of Stake 3.0 protocol instead of Proof of Work. So it is more efficient in keeping the network secure than PoW.
03. PIVX had no ICO nor existing pre-mine as the initial amount (60k) to start the masternode network upon launch was publicly burnt at block 279917.
04. PIVX is based on Bitcoin 0.10.x core (and currently going to 0.13.2) which means it is more up to date than nearly every other PoS digital currencies out there.
05. PIVX employed a professional media company for its new logo (complete) and website development (go live ETA end of Feb / March 1)
06. PIVX uses an innovative variable Seesaw Reward Balance System that dynamically adjusts its reward to masternodes and staking nodes.
     There is a technical whitepaper for the above feature. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1G58gtDdQtT-8kV8Fu7_764Fxn0i5fs0jGURvz8KJlTE/
07. PIVX has an active community on multiple social networking sites with Slack being the most active and where all the devs hang about. Auto-join link for Slack is http://slack.pivx.org/
08. PIVX community also uses Trello for open task planning and management. https://trello.com/pivx Please PM me here or ask on Slack if you would like to help with the tasks!
09. PIVX has a highly active, accessible and responsive development team. (always open to new devs)
10. PIVX is available to trade on multiple exchanges including Bittrex with plans to be added to larger exchanges.
11. PIVX currently has a monthly decreasing block reward inflation with it reaching its final low inflationary rate of approx. 4.8% pa beginning mid-May 2017.
12. PIVX has a repository of guides with more planned including video guides and materials. http://pivx.wiki
13. PIVX has had consistently higher profitability percentage compared to other digital currencies utilizing masternodes such as DASH since launch and even now.
     See here for current Masternode Payment profitability summary & stats. http://178.254.23.111/~pub/DN/DN_masternode_payments_stats.html
14. PIVX will remove coinjoin method of DASH and implement a FULL TIME modified libzerocoin protocol. This will make it the most advanced and the first fully anon PoS crypto.
15. PIVX has at least 6 core developers (as of writing this in mid-Feb 2017) with more potentially joining soon. Any developers who can contribute are also welcome!

Few more sites are in the works. I'll post them here once I'm given the green light.
Once we have the new website, a lot more will happen in terms of marketing etc.

Is there a finite number of coins? According to the link there is a limit in the "mining phase" but on coin market cap the number of coins listed in circulation is higher than that number, and the thread goes on for 288 pages so its probably in there but I dont have time to read 288 pages lol....

Using bitcoin code means its not going to be as private as Monero with cryptonote and ring signatures correct? not the end of the world as long as it is private enough I guess but i'm not positive how private it is.

It is pretty small and obscure, so thats another issue, not a total deal killer but it is an issue none the less.

Certainly one to keep my eye on though
