PIVX payments missing since fork in 10/25/17 - fixed

Greeetings - the PIVX network forked around 10/25/17 and the valid chain can only be accessed by the updated client of core 3.0.4rx3 or newer, see: https://forum.pivx.org/t/pivx-core-wall ... -2017/2596
It seems any PIVX payments made from prohashing since 10/24 or 10/25 are missing and likely were sent on the invalid chain. Can someone from PH plz advise? Many thanks!

I apologize for this problem.

Pivx seems to always have constant forks with exchanges having different forks than we do, and we're considering discontinuing this coin because it is too expensive to continually upkeep. Every time something like this happens, we have to redownload and reindex the entire blockchain, which requires hours of labor and days of CPU time. 5% of all support tickets are probably in dealing with Pivx problems.

Chris is going to work on the existing payouts. What he might do is to discontinue the coin and pay out all earned coins at that time. I'll keep people updated on what his decision is.

No apologies, it must be quite the task trying to keep all these things up to to date. Kudos for doing what you do, many thanks!

PIVX 3.0.4 has been released: https://github.com/pivx-project/pivx/releases

Looks like the PIVX issue has been worked out, and PH is on the correct chain. Many thanks!
