I agree. Weekly updates on this thread would do a world of good for investor confidence and new investors.

OK, the New Wallet is almost ready, but I wanted to run a few more tests after we merge it to the public repo, and also explain the process you will need to take to make this a seem less update...

You will need to rename only 2 items 'BEFORE' you start the new wallet for the first time, or this will be more complicated.

First thing is to shut your wallet down gracefully as everyone always should..

1.) First Item to rename will be your working folder, presently, it is called '.darknet' and is a hidden directory. this directory needs to be renamed to '.pivx' .

2.) Second item you need to rename is your existing 'darknet.conf' file which is located inside the previously renamed directory. Rename this file 'pivx.conf' .

then restart your NEW wallet and everything will be good.

If you do not follow these simple instructions, some panic may sit in, when you realize that the wallet shows 'Zero' coins, in which case, you will need to shut down your wallet again, and move your wallet.dat and darknet.conf file to the newly created directory. and then rename it to pivx.conf.

I am hoping that all my tests go well, and we will be pushing some new binaries sometime today. They will be v2.1.4.0, Yes I saw some people wanted a larger update with the versioning, but that would require everyone to restart all their masternodes (as is required for all protocol bumps), and there is no need this time around.. I will suggest that everyone updates their masternodes as well following the same instructions as above. only do a few at a time, and as long as the masternode is back up and running within 50 minutes you will retain you place in the que.

I will post again when I have the new binaries up on github, and will update the wallet links at that time.. remember.. v2.1.4.0 is the version you want..

edit; you will also need to set the themes under option to default the first time on the new wallet, then restart the wallet and you will be good.

Source is up for the self builders among you, Binaries are cooking now as I head to bed.  I will be uploading the new Binaries in the morning..

Official Website Update

We have been trying to determine what the best way to create a professional looking website is. We have a web-dev but the web-design part is more tricky and we haven't had anyone volunteering for designing the new website. So we have asked for a quote from Rhubarb Media (who created the PIVX logo) and here is their proposal and quote. They are willing to receive 500 PIVX as part of the payment at $1 a piece! Also, we could fund most if not all of it via masternode proposals budget (once proposal is submitted and vote passes) and maybe some donations via the community if needed. But yeah, we are always looking for options so if anyone has a much better proposal or is able to work with our web-dev to design a really nice website, please feel free to voice out here or on our slack channel as we are open to all ideas.

P.S. Current masternode proposal system has a bug so once that is resolved, we'll get the proposal going to fund this and other projects.

frankly speaking I liked it much more as DNET ;-)

you are correct it was 10% i edited it. Not much has been released on what it actually is apart from a modified zerocoin code to create full time anonyminity. They are removing dark send first before it is implemented in the wallet assume to clear up some of the code making sure there no bugs by doing that.

I get this and that is a great system although I thought it was 10% but even if it is just 5% that's still good.

I think for simple tasks and updates it is great however I think for a complex huge ground breaking updates it must remain closed source at the begining else you will just see it patched into every other coin that it can be patched into. Also the devs creating it should be core pivX devs with interest in seeing pivX excel specifically.

One of the main issues with zcash is simply that every other coin now just patches their work into their own projects diluting the value over and over. I know they have other trust issues too.

there is a development fund with the voting system. the list of proposals can be found http://178.254.23.111/~pub/DN/DN_masternode_payments_stats.html 10% of all coins generated is going to these. I think the system is being tweaked tho and multi-sig being incorporated into it. So if a dev does complete the task they will receive the funds for that task.

How many full time core devs does pivX have? I mean with the possibility to create a 10% development fund for projects let's bring on more devs. Increase projects taking place. This increases desirability increasing pivx value and possibility to afford more developers taking on more projects right? we can spiral pivx upwards to a more suitable place in cmc. Would be great to add full time devs that are loyal to dnet .

I hope the new twist on anon that is being formulated will be closed source for a time to enable a good first mover advantage like dark dash scam coin did else it will just be patched into every other coin.

Also this thread has pretty much stalled since slack became the main discussion medium which is not good. This forum still sees a lot of new blood scanning the ann section for good projects. I think it is important to keep it as muc as possible on page 1 before they get side tracked into inferior projects with flash graphic on the op.

thank you for this information. Good job guys, I await the new wallet with impatience .. continue like that !!

hopefully new wallet out by end of week. all the images and that are ready its just when the devs have time. they all doing this for free atm, granted they will have alot of coins and want the value to increase but it will all take time. rebrand going well with a quite a few people working on it with website, wallet, slack, trello etc. plus devs working in the background on features like the bip38 in wallet which was added the other day. Lots going on in the background.

Hello guys,

The new wallet has the new design?

I believe I could extract upwards of 700$ to 1000$ a month bro , branding is important enjoy the ride and stay patient

people tell ya... (where I live decent newspaper costs 5$ that should give you a clue how much I care for standard currency)

I will push the new binaries including Rpi2 when the rebranding is done, and gitian is squared away.

Anyone update/fix the raspberry pi link?

Even your salami?

Thanks, I upgraded the wallet and forgot about restarting.
Everything good here

Yes, yes, staking is working just fine. I am on latest version and yes, you just need to download latest version, sync, then restart for staking to work.

According to the github commit history, only difference between v2.1.3.3 & v2.1.3.4 is In-wallet BIP38 and nothing else.
Only known issue with staking at present is when wallet syncs the first time, it needs to be restarted for stake to work.
Considering staking worked after a restart, I can only assume it was this known issue that he/she encountered.

He could be on v2.1.3.3 since v2.1.3.4 was not announced until now. At least on the forum, unless I missed it... I did notice a possible staking issue with v2133 and possible higher than normal orphans but my wallet hasn't gone more than two days without a restart... I already notified s3v3nh4cks about my issue...

I'm using the latest v2.1.3.4 wallet and I can confirm that it is staking fine as I've gotten some minted coins today.
