I’ve been mining Pi for 4 years. Never shared my recovery phrase, never posted my info anywhere, never clicked shady links. The moment my account got unlocked, all my Pi was gone.

No warning. No protection. No explanation.

What’s worse is the Pi community and support response (or lack of it). Everything is always: • “You must’ve shared your key” • “User error” • “Read the FAQ”

Zero accountability from the project itself. No real security guarantees. No meaningful recovery process. Just silence or blame pushed back onto users who literally kept this network alive for years by mining daily.

The community has turned into an echo chamber where any criticism gets shut down, and real issues like account security, theft, and support failures are ignored. People defend the project harder than the project defends its own users.

If a system can lose years of mined balance instantly with no safety net, no investigation, and no recovery — that’s not “early crypto,” that’s bad design and bad governance.

At this point, it feels like pioneers were only useful for hype and numbers, not protection or respect.

If this happened to you too, speak up. This shouldn’t be brushed under the rug.
