  4. My zPIV isn’t working / sending / staking after upgrading to 3.2.2.
    Due to a recently discovered vulnerability, zPIV has been temporarily disabled in the network. The next wallet is expected to re-enable to ability to spend zPIV.
  5. What is Deterministic Seed (dzPIV) & how do I use it exactly to backup/restore my zPIV?
    Please see this detailed Reddit post: How to use deterministic zerocoin generation
  6. I’m missing some zPIV that got minted and sent to the Accumulator. Where are they?
    Firstly, make sure you aren’t using the same wallet in multiple places. If so, it could be the cause as zPIV is only visible from the wallet.dat that it minted from. Also, if you have tried swapping out your wallet.dat with previous backups in an attempt to recover your zPIV, make sure to NOT delete the latest wallet.dat as your most recent zPIV minting information does not exist in your older backups, So if you have restored to an older backup, please restore back the latest wallet.dat which was used to mint those zPIV.
