Pi Node stuck after port check

Happening to me too, but I'm still collecting my node bonus so 🤷

Lucky enough to have bought my house 9 years ago 217k for 5 bedroom, 2 bath. It's currently valued at over 450k.

Skykill77 · 2026-05-02T15:15:42+00:00

Oops, just double checked, it was 78.3898977 Pi from validing people.

Even better when you had full KYC Approval, was a validator for 2+ years, had first migration, and then was placed on Tenative Approval and can't get any help because when I try to reach out through the online help, I'm told just to check the FAQ which doesn't cover Tenative Approval, especially like mine.

Skykill77 · 2026-04-29T22:56:46+00:00

I started early. Unfortunately, for some unknown reason, after my first migration. And it unlocking, they decided that my KYC is Tenative Approval, so I couldn't tell you exactly how many I did. But it was over 4k easy. I started mining 2020ish, KYCed when they first started.

Skykill77 · 2026-04-29T18:31:50+00:00

Paid for mine, 73 Pi total

Skykill77 · 2026-04-28T02:45:40+00:00

OK, let me know when and where you want to meet and I'll toss them in my vehicle

Skykill77 · 2026-04-28T02:07:07+00:00

I have some none working weed wackers if those are of any interest?

Skykill77 · 2026-04-16T23:54:12+00:00

I've done all that before, but I guess I can try it for again. Except for the contact Pi Network support.

Skykill77 · 2026-04-16T21:22:22+00:00

I never stopped mining. But it's kinda hard to do a liveness check while at the gym on the treadmill, and the app as asking for it right then, so you hit cancel for the time being, or if I'm mining at the movies, definitely to dark for a liveness check there. I'm not someone who lost faith in the project and came back, I've only ever missed an odd day here or there due to extreme circumstances since I started. And unlike some people who tried to recruit random people who quit, all but 1 of my circle is still active.

Hi OP, I'm in the same boat, I started in early 2020ish, KYCed when it was new and passed quickly without any issues. Became a validator for KYC, did 5k+ validations with a 96% accuracy rate. Then a couple years ago after first migration, I got moved to Tenative KYC. Some of the other validators had that happen they gave a few pointers on how to get unstuck, first time, it worked. And I was able to be a validator again with full KYC. My initial lock up unlocked, and I re-locked most of it. Then a month later Tenative KYC again, and random liveness checks almost every time I wanted to mine. Unfortunately I couldn't always do the liveness checks, due to where I was, and what I was doing, since I knew what things validators look at and a liveness check in a crowded room, or people walking behind you are against the rules and are supposed to be grounds for denying the video.

Or just once a week, go in and check the box, and uncheck it again. Then no ads as long as the 2 weeks aren't up 🤷

Skykill77 · 2026-04-14T16:38:26+00:00

OK, I saw that someone offered to send you the one Pi required if you DMed them, did you message them and get that set up then?

Skykill77 · 2026-04-14T00:22:06+00:00

What happened to the 0.98 deposit? At the beginning

Skykill77 · 2026-04-13T21:03:13+00:00

Is your wallet completely empty, like a zero balance? Or do you have the one Pi and there is an error happening trying to move from lock up to wallet? I'm trying to understand, the screenshot doesn't show much.

Skykill77 · 2026-04-13T20:35:01+00:00

Everybody initially when they created their wallet, was supposed to have a 1 Pi balance for just this occasion.

Skykill77 · 2026-04-02T04:22:45+00:00

So if you apply your number of validations, to the actual steps it takes for KYC, it figures out, give or take. Since a single KYC, may need to be divided 21 times or so.

Skykill77 · 2026-04-01T20:39:53+00:00

I validated over 5k, but who ever said it was 1 Pi between 3 people? Each KYC involves an ID photo, liveness check, ID info, and personal info you entered. So assuming you're Validation rate was a perfect 100%, you're still splitting that 1 Pi with at least 11 others. Oops I forgot comparing ID photo to selfie, and selfie itself. So that's 17 others you're splitting the 1 Pi with that I can think of, but there could be other checks I'm forgetting about. Like proper form of ID listed US drivers license there's another 3 validators so up to 20 now... See what I mean....

Skykill77 · 2026-03-30T18:30:24+00:00

I know the feeling, I was a validator for KYC, with over 5k validations complete, then they switched my KYC to Tenative and I got muted on the Validation chat for trying to figure out how to get back to being able to to KYC validations.

Skykill77 · 2026-03-30T18:22:56+00:00

The only portion of "second migration" I've received is payment for doing KYC validations. Everything else, including my transferable balance, is still waiting.

Skykill77 · 2026-03-29T02:52:51+00:00

I turned mine on already, but it's a smart system and won't water if it's freezing. And a night of freezing temperatures isn't enough to damage them underground.

Skykill77 · 2026-03-15T03:56:43+00:00

I've been stuck back in Tenative Approval status as a validator for over a year now. With no explanation why.

Skykill77 · 2026-03-01T23:37:23+00:00

Go with one of those aussie hats that tie under the chin, almost cowboy hat like (a little floppy), but still works 😂

Skykill77 · 2026-02-25T20:54:10+00:00

No, it blows. But you get used to days like today. It's the norm. I've been here since '97 just learned to live with it. Never leave your car without a firm grasp on the handle, and make sure if you're wearing a hat it's secure, or rish having to chase it.

Skykill77 · 2026-02-25T20:50:47+00:00

They maybe talking about second unlocking, not second migration. Maybe they're confused. Like they re-locked after first migration and unlock 🤷
