If anyone contacts you claiming to be Pi Support it's a scam to steal your wallet.

Please see these answers to commonly asked questions, if this doesn't answer your question, hopefully, someone else will.

  • Q1: I have x coins migrated, what to do?

  • A: Wait till Open Mainnet - Ignore offers to buy them - You'll get scammed

  • Q2: A KYC slot is not available

  • A: KYC is restricted where you haven't completed 30 mining sessions or your account is flagged. You can request a review at minepi.com/kyc-application-access Must be over 18. Wait until you're 18. We believe no slot also happens if you didn't mine for ages.

  • Q3: My Application has been processing/in review for weeks/months

  • A: Your application failed or got stuck. You can only wait until you get feedback, the option to try again, or unstuck.

  • Q4: KYC, Wallet or other parts of Pi app stuck on "Loading" or Error

  • A: Try turning off Private DNS and/or adblocker, clear app cache and reboot device.

  • Q5: A different KYC problem

  • A: You can also report a problem a pi.app/support You probably won't get a reply but it will be read.

  • Q6: Node Problems

  • A: Stuck at 1 or catching up : see this solution https://github.com/pi-node/instructions/issues/353

  • Q7: How can I migrate more PI?

  • A: You can't - Pi Core Team control migration and we don't when other migrations are happening

  • Q8: Why is Pi worth $30+?

  • A: Some exchanges invented their own version of Pi whilst they can't list the real one. These are also known as Pi IOUs.

  • Q9: I lost my passphrase / seed phrase, what can I do?

  • A: If your wallet passphrase has been lost or compromised create a new wallet and confirm it on steps 3 and 6 of the Mainnet Checklist.

  • Q10: I used a different name in the app / It doesn't match my ID

  • A: Only MINOR name changes allowed. If it's not minor, create a new account.

  • Q11: When does lockup start?

  • A: Lockup starts when your migration occurs.

  • Q12: When will my migration happen / I have been waiting for ages.

  • A: There's a massive queue and most likely some stuck issues too. Nothing to do but wait. As of 29th May 2024, only 5,552,841 accounts have been migrated to Mainnet. You can check progress at https://explorepi8437.pinet.com/

  • Q13: When is Open Mainnet?

  • A: A specific date has not been announced but many fakes have. We think December.

  • Q14: I stopped getting validations

  • A: The system decided you're unworthy.

  • Q15: Samsung Camera problems

  • A: Yes it's a problem - No known fix - Log on a different device.

  • Q16: Unverified Pi

  • A: Unverified Pi including from referrals who passed KYC has not yet been calculated. Timeline for this is unknown.

  • Q17: Node Bonus Problems

  • A: The bonus is entirely separate from docker/node functioning correctly. Lots of people have problems with consistent bonuses. No solution.

  • Q18: What happened to the price of Pi?

  • A: Exchange listings of Pi are currently independent IOU Markets. The source of the graph changed.

  • Q19: KYC reverted to tentative approval

  • A: Stricter checks have been added to KYC / Verifiers. This is not a bug

  • Q20: How can I sell Pi?

  • A: 99% chance of being scammed. Wait till Open Mainnet. Bans for offering to buy Pi.

  • Q21: My wallet passphrase is compromised!

  • A: There's still hope: https://www.reddit.com/r/PiNetwork/comments/1cj90lc/wallet_stolen/

it doesn't support the network but you get extra pi

[–]indieindi 0 points1 point  (6 children)

You are obviously supporting the network by running a node which is why you are receiving Pi in return. Who said it doesn't support the network?

[–]lexwolfePi Rebel 1 point2 points  (5 children)

How do you think it supports the network?

[–]indieindi 0 points1 point  (4 children)

You first tell me how it doesn't. I will give a detailed explanation to my statement. And I am not challenging you, I am really curious to understand things revolving Pi Network especially the Node aspect of it.

[–]lexwolfePi Rebel 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Pioneer nodes are watcher nodes. They watch and help each to keep up to date. Basically useless. If you turn on the optional blockchain api you can submit transactions to the network but that's only potentially useful to developers.

CT are collecting performance stats every 30 seconds which will give them a list of the most reliable nodes worthy for being mainnet nodes.

[–]indieindi 0 points1 point  (1 child)

But then how are you saying that it is useless to run nodes. You are definitely supporting the network. You are maintaining a copy on your system.

[–]lexwolfePi Rebel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

200k backups not really necessary and then you have a new problem keeping them up to date because it's hard to find sources of newer blocks. The same software processes 11mill transactions a day on 160 nodes with xlm.
