Is it NOT a major flaw in the coin if missing updates causes strain on the person owning them? What if your bank made you jump thru some hoops to "right" your dollar balances in their system? Irritating, no?
Crypto is cutting edge tech that requires knowledge and education at this point....Updates, forks etc are part of the deal until this tech goes mainstream. Or just wait a few years until it is easy to use but don't complain about missing out on the early adopter benefits.
It would be a major flaw if PIVX didn't announce this, you cant lose any coins and lastly Banks change their terms of service almost yearly and ask for KYC and AML updates almost yearly, failure to do so will result in the loss of your funds, It's a new secure network and users should update to reap the benefits. Not updating doesn't make you lose your coins. You simply just wont be able to transact with anyone until you update.
