I purchased some PIVX today because I wanted to diversify. It must have been about an hour ago that I made a transfer to my PIVX wallet and I am still waiting for the PIVX to show up. When I transfer SOLARIS XLR, the coin is transferred almost immediately. I am kind of regretting my PIVX purchase now but perhaps the slowness is positive?

Can someone enlighten me or give me hope I have not made a mistake?  Why would you choose a privacy coin that is super slow?

Perhaps my transfer is abnormal and usually it is fast?

I would like to know.

Thanks.

Update:  A transaction came in but it was only a fraction of what I had sent to my wallet.  WHAT IS GOING ON?Huh?
IT HAS BEEN QUITE A FEW HOURS NOW AND STILL NO PIVX HAS COME INTO MY WALLET.  WHY I GOT THE MINTED HALF COIN
IS A MYSTERY WHEN I WAS NOT EVEN STAKING.

PIVX transfers are generally pretty instantaneous, so there is probably something else going on here (e.g., I transferred some yesterday; it took a couple of seconds between wallets and a couple of minutes to Binance. And, in 2.5 years of using PIVX, I don't think I've ever had a transfer take more than a few minutes).

- Were you withdrawing from an exchange to your wallet? If so, there can certainly be delays, but those are typically related to the exchange processing your request. Also, what exchange did you use? This can make a big difference.
- Did you check the tx id on a block explorer to confirm that it was indeed processed? And of course your wallet is fully synced, yes? That takes a couple of hours if you're starting a new desktop instance from scratch.
- The fractional mint is weird; I don't have an explanation for that. Rewards come in a set size of 2.xx Piv, so getting half a Piv implies something else is going on.

Most importantly, have you gone on Discord? In order of activity, it's Discord >>> Reddit > BCT. You'll get a faster answer from much more knowledgeable people there.
