hey everyone this is Brian Snappy from pivix and you're watching another episode of pivic [Music] press a bunch of you guys have been asking about the road map for pivix what's in store what the developers are working on and uh we want to bring that to you just as with anything in life uh just a little bit of a disclaimer right so this is private instant verifi transaction pivix this is the row map uh but like everything in life things are subject to change you know how that's how that's life right so while this is the best intent of what's going on for the road map uh it's always best to stay informed go to pic. org see what's coming out uh what the road map is if there are any changes we'll let you know uh but for now this is the current road map for pivic hey guys so first on the road map is the zero coin protocol uh some of you have been hearing about this uh again pivix will be utilizing uh this academic uh vetted protocol uh it's called the zero coin protocol in a manner that will require all transactions to participate in it right so what this is end up doing is increasing the security and fungibility of pivix on a whole it's already underway so uh again we'll be looking for updates from the developers about when that's going to be finalized all right the second item on the road map uh or the big one that's after the zeroc protocol is what's called CDG or Community designed governance uh it's being worked on to basically redesign the entire voting uh and power distribution uh within pivix uh so what we're essentially doing within pivic is moving the voting power away from exclusive Master node votes to the entire Community um so this is being done in a very thoughtful inst structured manner so stay tuned as that gets implemented all right the other big one that people have been asking for is mobile wallets right so pivix is taking steps to develop mobile wallets uh for various platforms for iOS Android Etc uh the old ultimate goal is to modify the existing work of Matthew Mitchell uh who developed the first light staky Mobile Wallet uh for pcoin uh and utilize our Master node Network to supply the chain bits for the mobile wallet so basically it'll be a new methodology to hopefully provide you guys with a light Mobile Wallet that uh everybody can use all right another update uh on the road map that's already underway is updating the core of pivic to the latest Bitcoin core so the latest Bitcoin core was released uh February 23rd 2016 uh that's 12.1 pivix is currently 10.1 with some of the features of 12.1 already integrated in so we're working to fully go 12.1 uh and this will allow us to stay in sync with all the new features and functionality of Bitcoin um and those changes as I said are already being merg right now all right so uh guess what guys it decided to start raining a little bit so I had to move uh locations I'm currently under a little bit of a nice overhang still getting kind of a little drizzled on but uh it's worth it for you guys so so uh here's the rest of the road map next on the road map is u2f integration um so pivix really wants to use u2f integration uh as another security option for securing your wallets um so this would secure it from Key loggers and hackers uh again it's usually like a hardware device that you connect in usually a dongle with a push button um so the menu option for the wallet uh we would need it to require easy setup to be able to work with most common u2f um USB dongles all right right so next on the road map is i2p Network nodes So currently pivix is using ip4 and ip6 uh or ipv4 and IPv6 excuse me and tour Network nodes um so and usually they're running in dual Stacks um so there's a need to bring in i2p nodes as another option for pivix users so that they can connect on the i2p network all right another feature that's on the road map uh is a multi-sig escro system um so what's this useful for so it's useful for within the wallet um you can create an esro agreement right so if you want to set up an agreement with somebody else uh actually within the wallet you can use it for goods or services um and set up that multi- signature Esco agreement another feature that's on the road map is the multi-sig address control um so we're looking to build a menu tab or an option um to easily pull up a window for multi- Signature address creation and use So currently we have it uh but the setup requires everything to be done during uh and using the command line interface which again is not very friendly for most users uh uh so we're looking to streamline this process to make it much easier to use another feature that's on the road mapap is encrypted chat encrypted chat uh so yeah we're looking to uh add a separate panel in the wallet uh to have an encrypted chat system uh and again it'll allow public and private conversations to go on I mean you can think of the uses for that whether you're doing products and goods and services uh setting up escros it just it streamlines a process all done within the wallet all right and last on the road map is the elastic block size um so we're actually looking to integrate an elastic block size mechanism uh that way blocks can expand or Shrink uh on their own uh to incorporate the various sizes and this just makes the blockchain that much more robust all right guys that wraps it up that's uh pivix press again I'm your host Brian Snappy from pivix we hope you enjoyed and we'll look forward to seeing you next week
