Wow, developers are doing a great job at PIVX.
Now with their announcement of Zerocoin, 16 October 2017. This is huge!!
PIVX really is one of the most innovative coins with one of the fastest growing communities.
Great job? How is this coin great if your addresses expire without warning? So if you send coins to your wallet they are lost forever or require retrieval. I've been waiting for the wallet to synch for days. My miners sent PIVX to an address and I now I find out that address is labelled: 'Used'. Do you really think PIVX has any use in the real world? I doubt it. How many people are going to go through the head aches of synching the poorly designed wallet? Expiring addresses? Over complicating things. Genius is simplification. Stop trying to reinvent the wheel.
Some context here would be really helpful if you're actually looking for a response/solution and not just lashing out. That said:
1. Cryptocurrency addresses don't spontaneously expire, short of the coin's blockchain ceasing to exist or someone deliberately closing the address down:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1202855.0) PIVX is no different in this respect (e.g., I have used the same PIVX addresses on and off since February of 2016, including gaps of several months at a time, and they still work perfectly).
2. Welcome to cryptocurrency, where the vast majority of full-node desktop wallets need to sync. Not sure why you're directing your anger at PIVX. Feel free to use the mobile wallet if you'd prefer a faster/simpler option and don't need the full features of the desktop wallet. That's why there's more than one option.
3. If you've been waiting for days for your wallet to sync, you might need to check your internet/firewall settings. It usually takes a few hours, as is the case with most blockchains.
4. If you want to use the desktop wallet and don't want to wait a few hours, use a snapshot instead:

There is always more to do, but the truth is that, between its wallets and its range of support options (Discord being the primary one) PIVX is actually among the more user-friendly cryptos out there. Perhaps that is more a comment on the user-
unfriendliness of crypto than it is on the user-friendliness of PIVX, but it is what it is.
