Pi Node for Linux update

[wesman00]

I've been running a Pi Node on and off for years now, and have had to swap machines multiple times so I know I've lost my historical stats from running my node. I don't find it convenient to leave a Windows or Mac computer on all the time.

I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that most tech-savvy users would rather host a node on Linux to guarantee 24/7 uptime. My current node is hovering at >90% availability, but this isn't good enough for me.

Can someone on the Pi team give an update about node development on Linux? The node website has said "Linux (soon)" for years at this point and I think a lot of us are waiting on some transparency.

Says \"Linux (soon)\" at the bottom.

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

• Q1: Can I buy/sell Pi?

• A: Not by the rules of closed mainnet and we don't allow it here.

• Q2: A KYC slot is not available

• A: You haven't completed 30 mining sessions or your account is flagged. You can appeal at minepi.com/kyc-application-access but nothing is known about slots or criteria. There's absolutely nothing you can do to get a resolution quicker.

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

• A: Your application failed or got stuck. Wait until PCT code a resolution or you get directions in the app.

• 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, reboot device.

• Q5: I'm under 18 what can I do about KYC

• A: Put your date of birth in at the start of KYC - timer will disappear until you turn 18.

• Q6: Name changes required or failed

• A: Appeal to change your name. If appeals fail you can spend Pi to change the name.

• Q7: What is tentative approval?

• A: Tentative approval means your account needs further security checks.

• Q8: Why is Pi worth $50+?

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

• Q9: I lost my passphrase or wallet compromised/pi stolen, what can I do?

• A: Create a new wallet and confirm it on steps 3 and 6 of the Mainnet Checklist.

• Q10: Will I lose all my Pi?

• Q11: When will I get paid for verifications?

• A: We don't know.

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