Please fix orphan blocks in zpiv staking. I get 70-80% orphan blocks

stop unscrupulous fuding I know many alts are bleeding at the moment (without mentioning names) take your quest there

To be fair, many people are getting orphan blocks with zPiv staking so while 80% may be higher than average, this isn't FUD. The Devs are aware of the issue and are working to improve it.

If you 'watch' the PIVX GitHub, you'll see that multiple changes have been made since the last release to address this. https://github.com/PIVX-Project/PIVX

Presstab (one of the Devs) has also recommended that you include

Code:

banscore=10000 bantime=60

in your .conf file (you'll need to restart the wallet after editing the .conf).

You might also want to run

Code:

clearbanned

in the console to make sure you aren't accidentally banning peers that don't need to be banned.

Neither of these are magic solutions, but they will increase your connections and reduce orphans as much as possible. And remember that you can always stake normal Piv instead until the zPiv orphan rate is reduced.

can you confirm to me that PIVX to an unlimited monetary creation (no max supply) ?
If not, what is the limit of the monetary creation of Pivx ?
Thank you.

Like most PoS coins, PIVX has no predetermined max supply. However, two things: One, all fees on the network are permanently burned, meaning that as the network is used more, inflation will decrease (and, since fees for zPiv transactions are higher, inflation will decrease even more as private transactions become more common). In theory, PIVX could become deflationary with sufficient network usage. And two, while the inflation rate assumes that 1 Piv per block is allocated to the treasury, only the amount actually needed by the treasury in a given month is created (i.e., usually much less than 1 Piv per block), which reduces inflation even more.

So: PIVX has no max supply, but it has low inflation and it's possible for the supply to actually decrease under some circumstances (high network usage + low treasury allocation). Also, @CarlOrff, nice work with Carmina Burana.

Start staking with StakeUnited!

[...]

Obligatory reminder that any kind of staking pool is risky because you don't control your own private keys. You should only consider using a service such as this if you have a very small number of PIVX and are willing to accept the increased risk.
