Quick question. When I install PIVX from git source and run pivx-cli getinfo I get this result:

"staking status" : "Staking Not Active",
"errors" : "This is a pre-release test build - use at your own risk - do not use for staking or merchant applications!"

What am I missing? Is this true? How can you stake your coins if the software says it does not implement it. I'm confused.

The error message just means that you did not run an 'officially' released build provided by the core team but one you build by yourself from the current source.
Only official builds are fully tested, so there might be new errors in the current code.
That's the 'on your own risk' part, because, well, in the worst case you could lose money.

If you want to build yourself the official release, the links to the used source code are normally posted near the releases itself, see https://github.com/PIVX-Project/PIVX/releases

What you are saying makes perfect sense. I'm new to this and new to GIT. I used to be a software architect about 10 years ago. Right now I'm doing this as fun. Have tons of catching up to do. Just realized GIT has Release sections lol.

I want to clone a coin with masternodes, POW, and POS, so I can learn this stuff, but for some reason I can't find one going. Thankx. I should be able to figure out the simple stuff for now.

dmanicus, yes, I just learned. Thankx Brother.
