It's been a while since we stopped releasing a pre-compiled release for Win32.

Win 32?

New PIVX v5.0.1 hotfix wallet has been released for all PIVX core desktop wallet users.

https://github.com/PIVX-Project/PIVX/releases/tag/v5.0.1

It is a mandatory update. We recommend everyone to upgrade ASAP.

After the upgrade, please ensure that your wallet is in sync with the block explorer https://explorer.pivx.link/ in both block height and block hash.

If your wallet is not matching the block explorer, please follow steps outlined here: https://pivx.org/news/jan-14-2021-pivx-attack-attempt-averted

Network enforcement schedule has not changed and will occur at block 2,700,500. (Approx. January 29th 23:45 GMT)

If you have any issues with the upgrade or wallet sync, please visit our PIVX Discord server for support.

Well, its clearly good as a feature. But whether or not major exchanges will accept it is a different question. My guess is that in the short term privacy coins will do badly but in the very long term (in a crypto sense) they will do rather well. At least one or two will. Demand will force it to be such.

Do you have a plan to have a wallet apps for android? I think this could be an additional attraction for the
community to support you more on this one. But good thing that you have a wallet that will be release this
coming Friday.

Are you not afraid of what will be removed from the exchanges? now it is not clear anonymity is good or anonymity is bad

PIVX v5.0 wallet is out!

You can now download and run the new 5.0 wallet!!
It is a mandatory update. (fork at block 2,700,500)

Simply put. This wallet will allow private sending/receiving/storing of PIVX once again!
We call this SHIELD, and is a much better protocol, with highly audited cryptography.
P.S. Instead of "Privacy", we call this "Protection". aka Financial User Data Protection.

PIVX SHIELD Testnet (TR4) Wallet Released!

Another week has past since the release of TR3, and a number of last minute bugs have been squashed!
So here is most likely our last test wallet release before the official 5.0 GA wallet goes live in early JAN!

https://pivx.org/news/pivx-shield-test-wallet-tr4-version-released

if you interrupt this now you are really mental , to relink current update


1. PIVX Development Update - Week 3, December 2020

This latest update covers the recent development highlights such as the SHIELD testnet testing results, new TR3 testnet wallet release, as well as some new and exciting information on what else is coming in 2021!

https://pivx.org/news/pivx-development-update-week-3-december-2020


2. New PIVX SHIELD Testnet (TR3) Wallet Released!

After a very successful 2 week testing period with the previous TR2 wallet, a whole heap of new bug fixes, performance improvements, and consensus changes have since been merged into master. Due to this, a new testnet has been deployed (testnet5), and the subsequent TR3 wallet is now available to public testing once again. The list of PRs merged between tr2 and tr3 can be found in PR #2078.

Please note that this TR3 wallet is not compatible with the previous TR2 testnet blockchain. So it will create a new testnet5 folder on your system and start as a brand new wallet, requiring you to acquire some fresh new tPIV from the updated faucet (link below).

TR3 Download / Release Notes
https://github.com/PIVX-Project/PIVX/releases/tag/v4.9.99tr3

Notes
1. You must run the wallet with -testnet parameter (or testnet=1 in pivx.conf)
2. A couple of param files need to be copied onto the system. See release notes.
3. Testnet Explorer:  https://blockbook-testnet.pivx.link/
4. Testnet Faucet: https://faucet.pivx.link/

It would help us tremendously if you test out this release, and report any findings to PIVX Discord's #pivx_testnet channel, or directly on PIVX GitHub.

[!!!!! IMPORTANT !!!!!]

Scheduled zPIV Support Deprecation - DEC/01/2020

Finally, the time has come to stop supporting our old protocol to move forward with our next SHIELD phase.
So as mentioned in the development updates for quite some time, zPIV support will soon come to an end.

News Post: https://pivx.org/news/december-1st-2020-final-zpiv-deprecation

When is this happening?
- 1st of December 2020

What is happening?
- zPIV Spend (both v1 & v2) capability will be deactivated on both mainnet & testnet.
- It means that if you don't spend zPIV ASAP, you will LOSE them forever.

Does it affect me?
- If you never owned any PIVX before March 2019, or only have coins on exchanges or mobile, then NO.
- If you have a positive zPIV balance showing next to your PIV balance in your core desktop wallet, then YES!

I have zPIV balance showing, what do I do?
- You must spend the zPIV denominations back to your own PIVX address to convert them back to PIV.
- This can be done from the Privacy tab on the left of your PIVX desktop wallet. No Tx fees are incurred.
- If you need help, please ask in PIVX Discord #support. DO NOT accept any DM support. (unless publicly verified)

Now, for those who are thinking that we must be very close to the 5.0 release, you are right.
