Re: [ANN][PIVX] - PRIVATE INSTANT VERIFIED TRANSACTION - PROOF OF STAKE - ZEROCOIN
It's hard to believe that we are down to March 2017 prices. This is great opportunity for new investors to get in tho.
I agree but there are a few problems prohibiting me from investing... and it's something I find rather serious.
Not really alluring to invest in unsigned wallets, regardless the rate, value, smiling and talking or how much marketing there is.
To me, that's like downloading pirated software.... you have to trust the uploader more than the software you are downloading itself.
In crypto, you have to trust the software more than the developer; they often bail but moreover, others take the project over.
This means that the developers don't stand with their own work and leave it on a "at your own risk" basis... I like keeping risk for the craps table.
In other words, SHTF, they can just tell you that the wallet is unsigned, should have investigated the implications of running an unsigned node and they're off the hook.
The price is alluring but the trust level isn't... at this point, HempCoin is a better investment; at least their wallets are signed.
Funny thing is, THC is based off of PIVX but their (THC) wallets are signed... and PIVX isn't??
That's really funny to me but maybe someone can shed some light as to why I should risk using unsigned wallets... no cheerleading please.
THC shilling aside, you first asked this question more than a year ago so it's obviously been weighing on your mind. During that time, have you gone onto Discord, where 99% of the PIVX community operates, and spoken directly with one of the Devs? If not, consider doing so. They will be able to give you a much more authoritative answer.
