Greetings,
It's been a while since I last updated you all on Zephyrs progress, and since then not much has happened development wise, but that's not as bad as it sounds.
So where are we with development.
Zephyr Entered into Phase II towards the end of 2019, After its successful testing phase and launch, We quickly moved to phase II which was supposed to add an 'in wallet exchange' feature. This work was 66% funded, however the 3rd and final payment of 2500 PIV was not passed and so Phase II was never tested or released, despite being completed some time ago.
For a more in depth description of PHASE II please see this post : {https://forum.pivx.org/index.php?threads/zephyr-x-in-wallet-exchanger.409/}
Current Issues:
Currently Zephyr is not working, this is because of changes made to PIVX during 4.0 which change how transactions are handled. Due to the open source nature of Zephyr a fix for this was quickly found by community Dev 'AKSHAYNEXUS', and can be seen in the Github as a merged Pull request [here]https://github.com/Crypto-SI/Zephyr-wallet/pull/5
Although this has been merged, it has not been released in what would be Zephyr
1.0.1, because this task is difficult and requires funding in itself. I have asked
for help from numerous developers, but none are familiar enough with Zephyr or its predecessor 'dash electrum' to complete this task.
So what now?
Now I've started this fundraising initiative to complete payment and release zephyr 1.1.0 which will include fixes to keep zephyr working with PIVX 4.+ 2500 Piv is required, and you can donate to this address. DK2xL4yXvrbmW9kQEyTe5Q7KQJAcGvxpyA
People who donate more than 100 PIV will be added to a special sponsors page on PIVX Zephyr website, for the forseeable future.
People who donate more than 500 piv will be added to the website and the Zephyr app
[sponsorship additions] will be kept in place until phase III and possibly beyond, depending on funding conditions.
So please try to donate what you can to this effort as this is the ONLY open source lightwallet that PIVX currently has, and light wallets are essential for real world usage!
Congratulations for reading till the end
If you wish to donate, please contact me on discord so that I can verify your details for sponsorship credit.
Or just send some piv to DK2xL4yXvrbmW9kQEyTe5Q7KQJAcGvxpyA
