The PIVX Core wallet will automatically convert a portion of your piv to zPIV. By default this is 10% but it is configurable anywhere between 0 and 100%. It can also be fully disabled as outlined below. See here for more information
Method 1
(GUI Only)
- Open the PIVX-QT software
- Select Settings > Options
- Uncheck the "Enable zPIV Automint" checkbox
Method 2
(GUI and CLI)
- Close your PIVX wallet (or stop the pivxd daemon if you're running CLI)
- Navigate to your PIVX data directory
- Open pivx.conf (Click here if you are having trouble opening it on a Mac)
- Add the line
enablezeromint=0

Method 3
(CLI only)
- When starting the pivxd daemon, use the startup switch as follows:
$ ./pivxd -enablezeromint 0
Please note that this will only disable the automint during this session. If the wallet starts up without this startup switch afterwards, it will be reenabled
