Hello

I'm very surprise with the pivx price. Day after day  down and down again. We have an excellent communication and marketing, community  is great.
 Pivx is fast and secure.
What is going on ?

It's been a PIVX idiosyncrasy for a long time that hard, unplanned shutdowns on Windows sometimes/often result in a corrupted blockchain that needs to be re-synced. The devs improved the situation with the 3.1 release, but it's not fixed in all cases, obviously. There was a recent complaining session on Reddit about the issue (https://www.reddit.com/r/pivx/comments/8qv36o/pivx_block_database_corrupts_to_damn_easily/). Basically, the devs are aware and are working to make things better, but there's no magic bullet for now because reasons.

That said, there are things that, while not complete solutions, do make the most of the situation:

- Disable all automatic 'update' functions on your staking computer (or anything else that might cause it to restart);
- Use a laptop or other battery-backed-up device for staking, so that power outages don't shut the wallet down;
- Consider using Linux instead of Windows, if possible;
- In other words (says Captain Obvious) do whatever you can to reduce unplanned shutdowns.

If you do need to resync,

- As DRPD noted above, use the daily snapshot (http://178.254.23.111/~pub/PIVX/Daily-Snapshots-Html/PIVX-Daily-Snapshots.html);
- Ensure your staking device has some hardware overhead (i.e., not just bare minimum specs) to reduce orphans;
- To ensure the most efficient syncing, include in your .conf file (you'll need to restart the wallet after editing the .conf).

You might also want to run in the console to make sure you aren't accidentally banning peers that don't need to be banned (more connections = faster sync).

Yeah, I had to reindex mine after an unexpected shutdown. Not sure if it is related or not.

you can always download a chain snapshot here for faster synch:

I had the issue when the blockchain was not synching at all. My solution was to delete it and download from scratch. I have a backup now for cases like this. It usualy hapens on power outages.

Maybe its better not knowing

Anyone having issues with the wallet syncing for few days??

PIVX is an open-source cryptocurrency that is focused on complete privacy and security within their transactions. Token stands for Private Instant Verified Transaction. Having forked from DASH early in 2016, PIVX has developed into a fully functional POS coin devoted to security and privacy dealing transactions.

This is amazing if it actually works.  I have to laugh at how much faster PIVX development is proceeding compared to the old Dash crew still struggling to get HD wallets enabled and InstandSend to work with PrivateSend.

Now that Amanda Johnson, Ben Swann, and Luke Rudowski are no longer being paid to be Dash shills, perhaps you can get them to report on (IE demonstrate on their podcasts) this cool new zDEX thingy!

This has to be huge. centralized exchanges are overrated anyway, 2019 will be the year of DEXs.

I think if they really do it all and the team will be able to implement everything, in General it will be very good for the project. I remember in the past how well the coin grew in price, there was a time when the growth of the coin surprised everyone. I hope it happens again.

Sorry guys, my memory is out of date and I don't have a Linux box at the moment to play around with and dig further. Your best bet will be to go on Discord; you should get a response there within a few minutes (hours at most).

Great question!

I moved from the cli to a qt wallet because I couldn't figure this out.

I have, but I don't know how to distinguish orphans from normal transactions.

The Setup Masternodes enabled more options for PIVX community to jump on board!

If you've been hesitating on getting started with a Masternode: come check out how PIVXers are getting started: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/setup-masternodes-trustless-setup-and-troubleshooting-services-4448627

Have you tried
?

See the following for reference:

Some other approaches discussed here, too, that might be relevant:

How can I see orphans in cli?

PivX plans to increase the number of new employees and increase marketing channels and opportunities, thus doubling the capacity and output of PIVX.
