libzerocoin exploit patch - prerelease
Pre-releaseThis release is temporary and will have limited (if any) support provided. This release patches an exploit that was recently discovered in libzerocoin, a 3rd party library that is used by all cryptocurrencies that have zerocoins. This temporary release will filter out any malicious/exploited zerocoin transactions that occur beyond block 895400. If you are on a blockchain beyond 895400 that includes exploited transactions, this wallet will likely fail on load with a message about a corrupted database. This should be able to be fixed using the reindex feature ./pivx-qt -reindex=1
If you are not comfortable with temporary releases, or are confused, the best course of action will be to shutdown your wallet, backup your data, and wait for an official release.
Most importantly backup your data. With proper backups, you will never need to worry about losing coins.
Also to be noted for this release is that all zpiv transactions have been temporarily disabled. While the exploit has been addressed we will wait to re-enable zpiv transactions once we can get a majority of nodes to use this or a future version of the code
