Hi, can someone please explain how to use pi tokens?

Which block number are you mining, and at what time? On Testnet or Mainnet? Do you have many connections to your node? Upload an image.

Im not doing this but would be interested to hear if anyone else has done this ? I feel someone could make this really successfully. Whilst whatnot and ebay for live auctions take upto 11% commission.... would people flood in to the pi ecosystem at 0.5% commission live auctions all done with pi and an automatic exchange between Fiat and pi when bidding ?

Mining is pointless. I’ve fully vested. I’m not mining anymore. Got my last migration. Lost only 400 pi over some people not KYCing.

3 things that killed the project.

Pi selling coins. I put 5 years into clicking the button every day. There was value in that. Being able to just buy coins from a near infinite pool and suddenly making them available decreases the value. They got their payday, we never got ours. Purchasing should only have been from the pool of already mined pi coins. Not from giant supply. Showing it was indeed actually worthless.

Miscarriage of a go live. Not being able to sell my coins in the US market and set an actual price, made it so that third world countries set the price. When it went live, the only source of pi was from mined pi, not from the pool. They did a poor job of planning and shot themselves in the foot. Bypassing the majority of users that could actually bring them value.

No communication or clarity on what my confirmed pi would actually be worth, when migrations would happen, or what the process was. Blind faith kept me clicking the button.

5 years and 13 confirmed people on my list netted me about 5k pi. I did the hard work of sharing their vision.

I’m not usually wrong about investments. If they had followed through. I’d be sitting on a lot of money right now. They were short sighted, saw an opportunity to make a bunch of money, and for all intents and purposes abandoned the project.

1 out of 5 stars. Won’t mine again.

So my pi coin lock up period finally ended July 3rd, but after 3 years, the final date slipped my mind and I just remembered that today. I went to my wallet only to see that all the pi coins that were locked up were apparently moved after the period and sent to a whole different wallet that I cannot even identify and can only see the wallet address.

Has anything like this ever happened to anyone before?

Some people run nodes, promote and write posts to invite others to Pi, participate in utilities and events, watch ads, contribute to the KYC system, and so on.

In other words, if you consider the participation involved in everything PICT has created, Pi is not free.

Furthermore, the fact that some people have purchased Pi with money on exchanges until now is not free either. The fact that Pi has managed to survive on exchanges until now implies that someone has been continuously buying it.

So, it is not just people who have simply pressed buttons who are here. The logic of those who defend PICT, claiming there is nothing to lose simply because it is free, is incorrect.

Nothing can be achieved entirely for free. Someone's time, energy, and money have clearly been consumed in this.

Of course, all of this is a matter of individual choice, but they also have the right and freedom to point out issues regarding PICT and Pi.

I believe it is wrong for people to dismiss others by saying, "You have no right to criticize simply because you have enjoyed everything for free."

Honestly, a significant number of people remaining here still harbor lingering feelings for Pi, but it is simply that their expressions and perspectives on Pi differ.

Personally, I believe one of the major issues is that the rewards (migration) for those who contributed to Pi have been delayed too long.

For instance, the fact that referral bonuses haven't been paid out for over seven years means that those who contributed the most to the ecosystem's expansion are no longer being motivated.

(However, the ongoing second migration is moving too slowly)

The fact that the number of miners is lower than during the enclosed mainnet era indicates that this project is facing serious problems.

Without a large-scale community for Pi, it means the project will end. Imagine what would happen if the massive numbers that PICT has used as marketing language for years were to disappear.

The community needs motivation. And I believe that motivation lies in rewards and Pi value.

For most people, there is no reason to contribute to anything without a vision, value, and rewards for their contributions.

However, PICT is failing to provide the motivation to keep the community contributing for years to come. And we are all aware of this problem.

Pi Network just made its most ambitious move yet, and it has nothing to do with price. On Pi2Day 2026, the network launched three products that shift the entire conversation about what Pi actually is. Not a mining app, not a speculative token sitting in digital wallets waiting for a listing. A functioning infrastructure layer for AI, identity verification and distributed computing that is now available to businesses and developers outside the Pi ecosystem entirely.

Pi Is Now Selling Services to the Outside World

The most commercially significant launch is PiVerify, a KYC and identity verification service that external businesses can use to confirm their users are real humans. The infrastructure behind it has already verified more than 18 million Pioneers across 200 countries using a hybrid model that combines AI automation with human validation.

Fintech platforms, exchanges, Web3 services and AI applications facing fraud, fake accounts and Sybil attacks can now plug directly into that infrastructure. The twist that matters for Pi holders: third-party clients pay in Pi to use PiVerify.

Your Computer Becomes a Node in an AI Network

SoloHost, the second major release, turns Pi’s existing network of over 420,000 Pioneer-operated computers into something entirely different from a blockchain validation network. Developers can now list self-hosted apps on Pi Desktop, including locally-run AI agents, and Pi Node operators can opt in to contribute their spare computing power to AI workloads from third-party clients. Those clients pay node operators in Pi for the computing work completed.

The first production app, launching shortly after Pi2Day, will allow the top 100 node operators to begin completing real AI compute tasks for external clients. Pi is not just building a blockchain. It is building a distributed AI computing layer from the bottom up, using hardware that 420,000 people already own and operate.

The first app demonstrating this is Hermes, a locally-run open-source AI agent that stores all data on the user’s own device rather than a remote server. In a world where AI data privacy concerns are accelerating, that is not a minor feature. It is the entire product proposition

To bring the available balance in my pi wallet, it is asking for a fee of 0.01 pi, so someone please send me 0.01 pi please help me

Am i the only who thinks that games in cidi games are designed to be nearly impossible to win unless you watch ads and lots of ads. There is no option to pay pi to get the tools or bonus to pass levels. I mean each time i try to use the apps in pi browser, i feel like its all about ads ads ads..... would like to hear opinions

Hey guys so I’ve been waiting like a year and a half to receive my settlement check from my last job. During this time I watched pi network go from $1.50 to .11 cents! I put my tax return into pi at $1 and I’ve been doing DCA and buying the dip to make up for it ever since. My current average is .31 cents for pi, that’s what I need it to go to in order to break even. Instead of putting my settlement into pi I only put a little into pi and a small chunk into Space X and Berkshire Hathaway B stock. I just got a new job so I plan to use that to put small amounts into Pi Network and continue my DCA adventure. I do think the price will continue to go down during the second migration but I’m so awful at day trading that I just want to accumulate pi during this downturn. I personally think that .11 cents is an excellent price to buy and that the token is doing great in its development. I love to see activity going on with it (PiVerify, etc.) I think it is encouraging to us to see actual utility rolling out. Most tokens have good ideas that will never see the light of day and so it’s awesome to see them making progress wherever that may lead us. I’m super grateful to be able to invest into space x also. Until now I was all in on Pi. Now I have Pi, Space X, and Berkshire Hathaway B. I feel a lot healthier not having all of my eggs in one basket. My goals are still to get to 100k Pi Network tokens though. So far I’m doing alright at this but it will only happen if the price stays low around .10 cents a token for me!

Are you guys all in on Pi or what else are you guys considering in your portfolio? I know a bunch of ai stocks just came out and those are pretty interesting. I’m just wondering what else I should get involved with. Thanks 🙏

Hi pioneers

Not going to pretend this is some big launch. It's just me, one person, no team and no funding, building this on the side for a few months.

It's called Fraction and it runs in the Pi Browser. It's a prediction market, but the bit I actually care about is that your answer gets locked in before the result shows, so nobody (me included) can mess with the outcome after the fact. I got tired of "trust me bro" apps, so I built one where you don't have to.

It's rough in places. Some screens are plain and there's stuff I still want to fix. Honestly I'd rather hear "this part confused me" than "nice app," and if something breaks, tell me exactly what you tapped so I can fix it.

Have a go if you fancy it: fraction.markets

If it's not for you, no worries at all. If you do try it, genuinely, thanks and please leave a feedback or drop me a message

Does it mean that miners are continuing to leave? It also increased by 4% last month.
