Oops. Correction on the acronym meaning of PIVX.
It stands for Private Instant Verified Transaction.

Wow, less than $100 worth for sale under 1000 Satoshi on Bittrex.
January 05, 2017, 11:16:42 AM
I continue to be amazed, an order was is sitting @ 7.5 BTC and no one sold... (and BTC was climbing rapidly with no end in sight, so a big temptation I am sure) but BTC is now in retraction mode driven by the future calls... dash retracted too..
and folks are trying to get up to 200K in chunks.. but no takers... anyways.. good stuff
next immediate target (where folks condensate) is @ 0.00001176 and + (so like x 1.5 price now)
even from the trading perspective this is cool even to watch (or do)
I won't be surprised if someone comes along soon and swallows everything up to @ 0.00001176 and beyond in one grab watch!
it is "red massacre" now out there for many alt-coins , not here lol, there is a de-allocation going on or will be to alts all across so brace yourselves
and finally, mn's are steadily crunching 16 dnet payouts each.. quickly checking mn's overall count... with @ 0.00001176 would be approx.. 1 BTC / month off % although with BTC going down.. but then again pivx should balance in the upwards direction
lookin good gents!
115 BTC worth of pivx hs been locked in so far in master nodes with steady payouts of 16 pivx per node per day... awesome

Yep. Checking for the number of hits on Google was one of the check list items the branding firm did. There are a bunch of other items they checked for, that I would never have thought to do if I was picking a new name myself. It was very much an education going through the name selection process. I have much more respect for how difficult it really is now. There are a lot of "gotcha's" to watch out for.

Not having pivx.com may confuse new adopters.
Not having pivx.com may confuse new adopters.Yeah. But if you google, there is zero results for pivx right now.
So as long as new adopters can google pivx, all should be fine.
(that's once our website is indexed and comes up on google)

IMO, not having pivx.com will be a major drawback... .COM is must, even if we don't use it. Majority of normal users will first go to pivx.com or even search "pivx.com" in Google.
There is a typo in the thread title "PROFESSIONAL REBRANDING TO [PRVX] " PRVX or PIVX?
There is a typo in the thread title "PROFESSIONAL REBRANDING TO [PRVX] " PRVX or PIVX?
I don't think that's an issue at all. DASH doesn't have dash.com either.
Heck, we didn't have darknet.com either but you are still here right?
Good find! It is supposed to be PIVX. I'll notify s3v3nh4cks to update it asap.

All, I can understand and in many ways, agree with some of your concerns and compaints.
But please keep in mind that this BCT thread is not the only place of DNET community activity nor should be.
In fact, we have far more people being active on Slack to fill pages and pages of this forum thread every day.
We have posted here multiple times for everyone who care about the coin to participate on the vote.
We have posted on Slack multiple times to remind people to join the vote also.
We wanted people in crypto to vote but also those who aren't to get a better non-biased feedback.
Hence the decision to not utilize MNO voting but involve far more people via secure anonymous poll.
I'm quite certain that most DNET masternode whales have voted. So they have not missed out.
Also, another reason was that a good name, if it's this publicly listed here, will be taken by name poachers long before poll gets finished.
If you have a great name suggestion, make sure you buy all the .com, .org etc domains as well as secure all the SNS and forum ID's etc.
That costs a lot of money and time. We have secured many domain names out of our own pocket. Many that didn't even make this poll!
So yeah, we can go on and on with a new name poll. But keep in mind that it does cost money and also takes away marketing time.
I think I'll always have reservations with any new name. I really liked "DNET" myself. But I guess that's coz I got used to it.
Thanks to a community member forking out a lot of money, we have a professional marketing company doing this for us.
Whatever new name we get, once a "good" logo & artwork is made for it, and we let it sink in, I'm sure it will be fine.
BTW, we have had many discussions in slack about how to improve governance as we know it needs improvement.
We have ideas (In-wallet voting but not just MNO's etc) but not enough devs to make it happen any time soon.
If any of you are able to assist with improving the current Masternode Voting system, please PM me or s3v3nh4cks.

Thanks for the explanation, that sounds perfectly reasonable. I agree that any name change will probably be met with a certain amount of resistance and i also think that the new name will be perfectly accepted in the future.
I also agree that the negative annotation of Darknet as a name will hold the coin back, so in general I see this development as very positive.
I also want to add that on slack, development of the coin is widely discussed and everyone has a change to chip in.
So to anyone that feels they are not able to influence the direction coin as much as they would like: please join slack and see how active and open the community really is.
This community is one of the most open and honest i've seen in my 3 years of crypto, and i have complete confidence that this project will be a great succes!

I certainly get your concerns. I also have only been mostly on here & twitter only till now.
But as you know, if there are better tools, it's better to use them than not.
Slack, Trello, Jira etc makes project development and team/community collaborations far easier and more efficient.
So the dev tean wanted to ensure that we are using the right tools to not slow us down. I trhink they are right.
There were no polls here but there were on slack. Less manipulation chances on slack IMO.
We also have a poll going on .org or .io doman for PIVX and so far .org is leading by a mile.
There are those who may not like or don't want to have an account on slack. That's understandable.
But then this works both ways. There are others who don't like BCT forums nor want an account here.
So just because it's not openly visible here, it doesn't mean it's dubious or being done in a dodgy way.
It certainly isn't the case nor is anyone trying to be. In fact, it's the opposite!
All I can say is that, this is the most honest hard working team so far. It brings a smile to my face.
I've been part of many other crypto teams and this is in a league of its own. Expect big things.

Every coin that moved away from this forum has lost momentum. New people discover this board every day dash has sucked a lot of noobs in from this place and having an active thread. I see blocknet and xc are returning and LTC thread is even reawakening. This is crypto central
Glad you moved some out of dash I detest that coin and community. I hope dnet trashes that project.
Lots of dubious decisions being made here but I guess time will tell. If we can attract a larger development team that is the important part.

Maybe other coins may have had discussions in secret, closed doors etc losing momentum.
I've been a member of some other coin devs teams and that's what happened. Skype etc.
I can tell you that DNET (now PIVX) has gained significant increase in momentum since we started using slack.
More people are joining our slack channel everyday (over 70 now) and getting involved in detailed discussions.
That's just impossible in this forum. It's not as dynamic, accessible nor useful as slack or similar type of tool.
But yeah, this thread isn't going away nor will ignore it.
I will be active here as much as I have been.
Care to elaborate what you are calling dubious decisions and how it could have been done better? We can only learn.
Perhaps they only look dubious due to me not visiting slack. Im a believer in this board.
However if you say slack is paying off for dnet then I will wait and see. The main thing is to get more devs so we can complete more of the roadmap targets as fast as possible.
If there are devs that are going to join that previously would not under the dnet name then fair enough for changing the name.
As a person using this board as primary contact it seem dubious that there was no poll ...one for changing the name in the first place and further for voting on the name. I guess it does not effect me too much since I have only a handful of masternodes.
Also that people Id never even seen in this tread before had so much knowledge about what was going on. I guess for pivx you need slack to be in the loop now.
Anyway I will keep all of my coins and add more if the project continues to do well. I hope it will since I really like it so far.

Pretty much a given we will be moving away from this forum. It is NOT mobile friendly at all. It will be certainly still used for 'official' announcements to the crypto world. But it isn't really suited for every day use.
I believe Slack will remain the CHAT application. People are investigating www.Discourse.org as the new forum app.
We will use Confluence for the Wiki, and Trello/Jira for tasks/tickets.
More to come.
In order to grow, Darknet needs to move forward. We can't just remain stuck in a spot and expect to grow.

Hope this name change is going to result in some new developers coming on board and pushing things forward.
Also why is this community moving off to slack more than being on here?
Let's keep the main action on this forum.
Also why is this community moving off to slack more than being on here?
Let's keep the main action on this forum.
This thread will always be active / updated. But the amount of discussion on slack is just impossible on this forum.
I think we had more amount of posts in slack in the past 2-3 days than every single post in this thread combined.
So yeah, utilizing slack is far better in terms of productivity and participation rate in discussions, polls & support.
BTW, if you can't get on slack, can you get on riot at least? AFAIK, our slack channel is linked to riot also.
https://chat.cryptochat.io/_matrix/client/#/room/#darknet:chat.cryptochat.io
New domain name is being voted on. .org is leading 3+ folds compared to .io so far.
Once the new logo designs has been finalized, we'll have a vote on that later also.

I still own a lot of Dash. Just not nearly as much as I did. Had all my eggs in one basket.
I see cool, thanks for the transparency.. it went up nicely looks like 0.01422910 BTC ... in any case great you invested here
self I try to always enter early, with dash I tried lol X11 got me.. I mean asics' difficulty went up tremendously and I was out of the game...
dash has attention of both the creator who is a real software engineer and bunch of people around in support, will do well also I am sure

I was a major Dash holder. Now I hold a lot of DNet. I made the referral to the branding company, but I am not part of that company.
good call, self emptied dash down to 0 it only make sense to have 1000 dash and that is like over 10 grand ? I mean its great it happened but not great for late entry... I might regret dash of course.. but I need to optimize
otherwise yeah see ya all on slack... definitely will pop from time time.. my contribution is *weak* in a sense just holder but maybe I will engage beyond
