After more research, I am sad to announce, stay away from PIVX. Being owned + partner with & hosted by a media advertising company should be enough reasoning. Aside from the fact they focus more on advertising and hype through social media vs working on fixing broken code or implementing new things. (see my previous post) Happy I got out when I did before the bubble burst.

Sadly I must agree. After reverse image searches of the team and watching the Slack channel for several hours, I'm seeing too many inconsistencies (plus the very similar teams between IoP) and annoying grassroots vagueness similar to both PIVX and IoP marketing. It all just makes me uncomfortable. Apparently an Israeli superstar (Gal Gabor) is on the team!! I'm not a FUDer but just some red flags to note.

The website is well-made, the PR very good, and the pitch convincing but I'm now apologizing to the folks who may have took me as a "fanboy" a few evenings ago in the main thread. Glad I got my share mostly as DNET and avoiding a burst too. If the project is legit and it takes off then shame on me, but I'm pulling my risk out of it too.

Some quotes from Slack tonight when someone asked about next steps and a roadmap from a "Matias"

[1:26]
As far as I know there isn't a roadmap

[1:26]
everyday we are joined by 100 new members

[1:26]
100 new skill sets

[1:26]
100 new set of values

[1:27]
Everybody is pushing in the direction they think we should go, and talking with others to form teams to make things happen

[1:27]
I do not expect we will ever have a detailed linear plan like [removed coin name to prevent any accusations I'm partial to another project]

[1:27]
we are going to have many ideas

[1:27]
we are going to try the good ones

[1:28]
we are going to build a lot of things, create projects to push as forward

[1:28]
some will survive and will be adopted by a big part of the community

[1:28]
some will fail, and we will learn from them

[1:29]
we do not know where are we going, but we have the manifesto to guide us and a really strong common base of shared values

USERNAME REMOVED [1:32 AM]
indeed build a strong community, but the business development plan will be the next thing that moves the project forward after major exchanges

[1:33]
it needs to start be worked on

[1:34]
you say no linear plan like [removed], but investors will want to see outlines, being too free floating is a risk
