Also another great site to look at explaining pivx

If you are wondering how the stake rewards are done, the image below is a good explanation

There is a known issue with the ledger app sending pivx, a work around was created by one of the devs @random.zebra and can be found here. The other option is to rebroadcast the transaction which I can post here also, otherwise I’d assume ledger will resolve the issue.  From what I can see receiving on ledger works fine.

https://github.com/PIVX-Project/PET4L

if you have to manually broadcast the TX here are the steps:

1) Open Ledger Wallet App. Settings --> Tools --> "Stored Logs" Export (under "Diagnostic")

2) Save the file as a .zip file

3) Extract the two files contained in the zip

4) Open the file marked as 'private'

5) Search for a line starting with `Transaction,Raw TX:` and copy the hexstring that comes after that

6) Inside the core pivx wallet console do `decoderawtransaction "hexstring"` replacing "hextring" with the one you copied earlier. Verify that everything checks out.

7) Do `sendrawtransaction "hexstring"` to broadcast that tx to the network.



Just another example how great the pivx team is being able to help out pivians while ledger is having issues.

Another reminder, don’t forget to backup your zpiv seed. I’m not sure if the importance if this has been made clear.  Details below.

I think she/he meant thread.

@EleanorZ I’m not an official PIVX but do try and post here to help with communicating with those who don’t use discord or twitter or reddit.  I do think Discord is the best place to go for updates info and support issues and questions.

I believe there was plenty of clear posts in here regarding the update as being mandatory so should be no excuse to not be done, if any user still didn’t get the message someone should be able to help in discord on getting an up to date blockchain or resybcing again.

Also if not aware Ledger hardware wallet is having issues with PIVX but they are working on it , the desktop wallet and blockchain is working fine, just an issue with ledger.

v3.1.0.2 mandatory upgrade has been enforced. If you are running an older version you will be on the wrong blockchain.

If you need assistance in upgrading to the new client, please contact our support team in discord.

Have a read of this article, Monero and PIVX are both good established privacy coins.

You will need to upgrade it is the only way to convert your zpiv to piv when it is reactivated. This is a mandatory update or you will end up on the wrong chain.  Old zpiv can’t be staked so once you convert to the new zpiv you can also stake, it is also important to try and understand the release notes as if you decide to stake zpiv you should keep a copy of the seed which will allow you to recover should you need to.

Make sure you update to the latest version as per messages above.  Zpiv to piv conversion is on hold until 8 May and only if enough people have upgraded to make sure it is stable.

@everyone

Current 3.1.0.2 (protocol 70914) enforcement is scheduled to occur at 1525737600 UNIX Epoch time (May 8th 00:00 GMT). We need as many wallets upgraded to 3.1.0.2 by this time so that the transition later to zPoS will be smooth & timely. If you are NOT running 3.1.0.2 right now, you should upgrade asap to avoid forking off from the new chain & needing to resync.

There are 2 main phases:
1. Protocol enforcement activated: Thus >=3.1.0.2 (70914) wallet-only network is formed.
    Currently set at 5/8 00:00 GMT but could be altered/delayed if deemed necessary.

2. zPIV maintenance mode disengaged:  zPIV v2 gets enabled thus zPoS also begins.
    There is no set time for this. If phase 1 goes well, then this should happen soon after.

See how the network upgrade is fairing here:
http://seeder.fuzzbawls.pw/pivx/network
(70912 = 3.0.5/3.0.6, 70913 = 3.1.0/3.1.0.1)

We want at least 70% & more towards 90% before kicking off zPoS. **So please upgrade now!**

Wallet v3.1.0.2 is live and ready for download.

This is a mandatory update.

Download -> pivx.org/wallet/

$PIVX wallet 3.1.0.2 binaries are now available for download. If you have upgraded to 3.1.0, please upgrade to 3.1.0.2 as it includes a critical change that makes 3.1.0 invalid.

This looks like the issue reported in discord for windows only, plenty of support there, this is fixed in 3.1.1 being tested now, you can also use 3.0.6 until 3.1.1.

Below provides information to better understand the deterministic ZPIV in the new wallet, has some good points covered.
