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.
