PIVX v5.3.0 RC1 core desktop wallet is now available for download
https://github.com/PIVX-Project/PIVX/releases/tag/v5.3.0rc1

This is a fully working pre-final release candiate with both mainnet and/or testnet compatibility.
It contains a lot of improvements, changes and good number of consensus modifications. (Over 170 committed PRs!)
So please give this a try and if you see any issues, let us know on #pivx_testnet or #pivx_development or GitHub.

If all is well, expect the final version of this mandatory upgrade later this week!.
So be prepared to update your wallet ASAP once the final release is out!

P.S. if you upgrade to this RC1, then technically, you would be fine even if you forget to upgrade to 5.3 final release. (though best to update eventually)
