I'll try to answer what I can now. Got only few mins before needing to step away and will be mostly off this weekend.
Any news on the iphone app?
It was scheduled for Q4 this year. I believe that is still the case but at worst case would be early Q1 2018.
Where can get some coin?
You can buy PIVX at various exchanges using BTC & FIAT.
https://pivx.org/exchanges/However, as we are going through a wallet upgrade atm, please avoid using those that utilizes a PIVX wallet for purchasing. (e.g. litebit, changelly etc)
We hope for all those services to be back online by next week at the latest once our final wallet gets released soon.
P.S. @jakiman:
if we can set a path/folder for the auto backups, that would be very helpful. ofc the devs have still other things to do. just an idea for a future updates
To specify? I'm sure that can be done. But yeah, would be low priority atm. But I'll pass it on.
@jakiman
Although PIVX is resuming its powerful communication strategy with more translations, meetings, etc., something very strange in the middle of a conflict like the current one, during which it does not seem the best moment to receive new users, there is much controversy in It has been found that everyone says that everything is great and others who say that nothing works, while they are instantly accused of FUD and identifiers as the developers insist that have a more recent version, although many users claim that their currencies disappear from the balance with it I do not know the origin of those nicks, although the security that the developers defend as real seems not at all.
At the end of the day, what is needed is objective information and as we have been listening for too long that everything is controlled but the problems continue, it seems clear that higher levels of certainty about our real operation are needed and to park this dynamics of endless discussions. For this, and to get a tool I have a question:
Is there a problem with the PIVX Team in attaching address or ID Transactions of the ZPIV transvases are a PIV claiming that they are being performed normally? That way, it is very easy for users to confirm in the blockchain that everything is correct and equally, you could contrast if someone is inventing FUD and end it.
Can you expose it to the team to end this situation once and for all? In this way, they have it very easy for us all to enjoy the breakthroughs again and avoid malicious FUD.
Thank you.
You will always have people who have problems and who says it works fine. That cannot be avoided unfortunately.
So it's hard to avoid FUD in public forums. Always follow my twitter & @_PIVX twitter for official stance/news.
As for what you are asking, the whole point of zPIV is achieving unlinked private transactions.
You can still check your own address in the BE and see how many zPIV you minted however.
So that can be used to verify that a certain address minted that amount of zPIV.
