PIVX SHIELD Testnet Wallet Release

The long-awaited PIVX pre-5.0 testnet release for upcoming 5.0 with SHIELD is now available for download!

This test release includes our new SHIELD protocol that provides the ability to both send and receive shielded transactions that fully protect your transaction data over the blockchain.

SHIELD also sports some unique enhancements such as multi-note shielded spending, a full byte encrypted memo functionality in the Qt wallet, and more.

We encourage everyone to try out this test release and will be greatly appreciated if any issues seen are reported either in the #pivx_testnet PIVX Discord channel, or directly on PIVX GitHub.

1. You must run the wallet with -testnet parameter (or testnet=1 in pivx.conf) for it to connect to the testnet blockchain.
2. A set of parameter files need to be copied onto the system separately. So please take a read of the release notes to know how this is done or ask for assistance in #pivx_testnet channel.
