So from what I gather, you are just trying to call out a coin that you have no idea about. Yes there has been many scams in this space, it's a stigma that projects like this one will have to fight through, and prove otherwise.
Identify what you consider out dated source? This is running pivx 3.0!!! Pivx 3.1 was not chosen for many reasons since for one z minting and z staking is not needed or wanted at all. Pivx also never seems to have the most stable current source base. What is your consideration of a up to date source?
