Topic: PIVX: Who got rich from this? - page 2. (Read 5296 times)

It's ~14 months old, it was never dead.

The people who got rich from this are the ones that accumulated when it was dead.

Either someone that loves buying dead coins in hopes of a revival someday or the devs accumulated then revived the coin, easier then to start an ICO to make some BTC 

OR some people have crystal balls that can tell the future

Being a dev these days pays better then being a drug dealer 

anyway. why was PIVX mooning so hard?

Any price ceiling prediction?

Bittrex

How can I buy this coin since it's not in Poloniex yet?

Overall market 40mil, made half mil, own more than 1 percent. Good job, congratulations.

This is probably the most responsive and supportive community I've encountered yet, so admittedly, I'm skeptical of your effort level in asking for assistance. 

Was blown away at how helpful the community on the forums, slack, in the announcement thread, etc., are.

No I didnt ever find a qualified person to answer. The problem fixed itself after 2 days.

I assumed the support section of their slack channel was the correct place to ask such questions.

As I said earlier, this was my personal experience, i'm not suggesting that everyones experience goes like this.

OK, and did you find a qualified person to answer? Did you try reddit? Do they have a slack channel? My point is that the person wasn't likely qualified and the availability of technically knowledgeable people doesn't necessarily coincide with the exact moment you have the problem--this is why posting on reddit usually nets a response from a knowledgeable person. The question will have more eyes on it and the time frame is much longer. And again, you may be right, but without more conclusive evidence it seems you are throwing the baby out with the bath water.

I agree, but the reason I said "ever heard of the staking issue i'm having?" was because I was already asking about it in the general and support channel.

When someone tells you that they are "a community manager mainly," your next question should be, "Is there a Dev who can help me, or someone who is more technical?"

You may be right, but your example isn't that telling given the guy or girl's professed status.

I don't see this pump coming, I do miss the trade. I believe alot of people would have made enough money on this. I don't know the whale team pumping this, this pump can't last forever and expect them people to exit the trade soon

Well that will depend on how Decred goes in the same time period.

If PIVX hits $14 but Decred hits $100 (roughly equivalent multiple) then i'll be fine.

If Decred in the same time drops to $1 then I will have made a mistake.

I have been in the Decred slack a couple of days now asking questions here and there, so far I have never been left without an answer to any technical question.

When I had tech issues with my PIVX wallet with Staking (i sent some funds to someone and staking stopped working) all I got from the core team members was "dunno, it does that sometimes, just wait or restart maybe it will work"

From my PERSONAL experience (and others may of course vary) Decred is not heavy on the marketing but good with the code, PIVX dev team are good with the marketing and making fancy graphics, but lacking in technical capability when it comes to the core blockchain software.

Let me know when PIVX fixes their treasury system and i'll go back and take another look but for now its Decred for me.

*edit*

I used quotation marks above that were more of a paraphrase. This is the actual conversation with the PIVX team member regarding wallet staking:

jeko

auskipper
9:01 PM
ever heard of the staking issue i'm having?
9:01
ie, it was working then stops?
jeko
9:01 PM
That happen sometimes, try to restart computer
auskipper
9:02 PM
ok i'll give that a go
auskipper
9:13 PM
Done, still no joy
jeko
9:14 PM
Mh, sometimes it wont work for some hour, and suddenly working, i don't know why


To be clear I didnt go straight to the non-technical person, I asked in the support channel of their slack first but noone there could help me. Of course the record of that is long gone it was days ago and their slack is very active.

How you gunna feel if it hits $14? (Dash parity atm)

Well, not that they will admit.

I haven't lost money on Crypto yet but I did start a business a couple of years ago which has done nothing but bleed money.

I got Pivx when it was 11c and got out when it was 62c, so, I made money on it.

Or "reasons".  

Betcha there are "reasons".

Any way congrats to everyone who earned an arm and a leg on this*. Fire up the barbecue (before the proceeds stink up the place).

* I don't know whose arm and leg, since apparently nobody loses money any more.

. Well I think they did what most coins do. There have been several coins out there that have copied the Master Node experiment, and they have traded at low capitalisations (I held some Transfer Coin for a while when it was maybe $20k MCap IIRC)

But for one reason or another the whales have taken this for a ride.

I suspect it is because they have a team (and they might be half competent..not sure).

1. They have a dev team
2. Zero knowledge is in fashion and a worthy experiment.
3. it does not have the dash baggage ( and thus the Dash risk)

This, and the interest in alts posed by the prospect of a bitcoin hardfork has been a perfect storm.
So, I'm not sure that the dev's have been any worse than most coins, but they got lucky in that the whales chose them
Or they might have good product (I dont know)...

Hmm. Some would call that ignorance. But whatever floats your boat sir.

So spoetnik's fud first and let god separate them is your new take on research?
