where i can download new wallet?



Here you can get all precompiled wallets for your OS or even the source code.

https://github.com/PIVX-Project/PIVX/releases



Most interesting part is the conversion from Piv to zPiv



edit: as mentioned by Fuzzballs - 3.0 is a Mandatory Upgrade - till 16th October is time to upgrade.

After 16th older wallets won't mint and secure the network anymore and have to update + make a full resync.


Due to security reasons always check any downloaded wallets with the checksums from the Developer. (e.g. electrum-ltc delivers MD5 and SHA256 hashes)

With PivX, the developer hosts the  SHA256SUMS.asc file. Download it and run your hashing programm to check whether the pivx-3.0.0.-wallet.zip is fully downloaded and unmodified.




on Linux:

open a terminal within the Download folder where pivx-3.0.0.-wallet.tar.gz + SHA256SUMS.asc are and type:  

    sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS.asc

and the whole file checks for valid files, at the end should be written that your downloaded pivx-3.0.0.-wallet.tar.gz is OK (just ignore the missing files)


or type in terminal:

     sha256sum  pivx-3.0.0.-wallet.tar.gz

and check the output with your wallet in the SHA256SUMS.asc file manually.



on Mac

      shasum -a 256 pivx-3.0.0.-wallet.tar.gz

and check your output hash manually within the SHA256SUMS.asc file




on Windows


as I know Windows should have CertUtil preinstalled (hope this works still)


Usage description: CertUtil [Options] -hashfile InFile [HashAlgorithm]


CertUtil -hashfile C:\pivx-3.0.0.-wallet.zip SHA256

or download a checksum programme like quick-hash-gui etc...
