Title: Pi Network is at 5 million users
Post by: Umlum on July 23, 2020, 05:14:12 PM
Pi Network hit 5 million users. I have a fairly active mining team if anyone wanted to join. Its free to mine and uses a consensus algorith instead of POW (proof of work) mining so its done on your phone. No actual money invested as the coin is still in the BETA phase. If you download the app use the referral code Umlum. Lets get this Pi. ;D

Pi network started back in 14 March 2019. 5 million user within less than 2 years, is a big number. However, they have not yet listed their coin in exchanges for some unknown reason. 2 years of mining with no return doesn't look good and less attractive.

I too have earned few thousands of pi token from my mobile since last year but I don't know what to do with this since I can't sell those  off.

Do you have any idea when they will be listed in an exchange?

Exactly, I have even uninstalled the app on my phone.  What's is the essence of increased users without any hope of the listing at all.  I have stopped wasting my time mining that Pi, it's not even withdrawable.

Keep in mind that as long as the coin is not listed, all your gains are "monopoly money".
There are scam accusations in this direction already. Everybody is told to be gaining, but all you did was to give up personal info (the phone app can get quite some info) and received .. promises.
Some even fear that in order to cash in people will have to fill KYC info, which can be even more problematic.

The coin is just another number to fantases with for now. Until this is listed and tested the stregth of the open market, we can't say is a good project even though the community of miners are in millions as seen on their app.

The hype surround Pi is yet to build up and already, it has achieved 5 million active users in such a short time. I have massive trust and confidence in that project and the fact that a whole lot of people have bought into its idea makes it interesting. It remains to be seen how the team react from here onwards and how they go about their developments, partnerships and finally monetization.

That's a waste of time if there's still no exchange that has it. While the users are kept on doing that mining thing on their phones, they seem to believe that they are actually mining.

If that starts asking KYC soon, I guess you all have to start forgetting about the coin.

Why is it they are taking so long in listing this project to at least one exchange? At least give a lil bit of hope to those mining their coin. And if they do really ask KYC in the future, I don't think this coin is worth following for. They will make things hard for those that are patiently supporting their project and hoping that one day they will hit in a decent exchange.

Recently I came to know about Pi through one of my friend who hasn't got knowledge about cryptocurrencies. He has been running it on his Mobile. He says you'll get an earning, and that can't be used instantly. Someone has taught him, following the same he has been using it. By the time reaching 5m+ users isn't that easy to achieve. This gives some legitimate visibility to the Pi network. Over the falling years we can get to know the reality of Pi.

This one, I still remember one story of a token that grows tremendously, and my friends keeps telling me it's legit and that I should invest. But looking closely, it's not even listed so pretty much that pump is artificial and obviously someone from behind is pushing it to look as if the project is solid. And as I look closely, the money coming in is like $300k only, Lol. so I would advise everyone to research about this project closely and not fall for the hype.

Not 5 million users, most of them are trash users. I have seen how people are joining the network to the hope that they will have a passive income.

I too have earned few thousands of pi token from my mobile since last year but I don't know what to do with this since I can't sell those  off.
When things are easier to get, they will not have value most of the times. Sometimes such project becomes trash. I do think you will get a good amount from few thousands because there are a lot of few thousands holder in the market.

I also did mining from last year, and began to get bored waiting when Pi could be withdrawn and traded. The moderator said that tokens can be withdrawn in phase 3 and I think trading will also start in that phase, but we don't know when phase 3 will start.

FUBT a Chinese exchange company has listed it as an IOU token but they stopped trading it we don't know if after they  launch their token and done KYC if they are still going to have that numbers we still don't know the actual potential of the coin it remains to be seen.
This refers to IOU tokens. FUBT has shut down so this IOU trading is no longer happening. Main net launch of Pi Network is yet to take place. Check for announcement: https://fubthelp.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360040503052--New-Token-FU-BT-will-list-Pi-NETWORK-futures-on-March-14-2020

Pi Network hit 5 million users. I have a fairly active mining team if anyone wanted to join. Its free to mine and uses a consensus algorith instead of POW (proof of work) mining so its done on your phone. No actual money invested as the coin is still in the BETA phase. If you download the app use the referral code Umlum. Lets get this Pi. ;D  

The development team may be proud of their achievement hitting the 5 million mark but those who have been mining all this time are not so proud I guess. They have been mining for nothing. No money invested, yes I completely understand, but there is also no money made or gained.

So my question to you is very basic: What will I get if I mine Pi?

Maybe you just get their sweet promise  ;D I think it's just a waste of time if we are mining Pi coins but we can't sell it. I have not received information when their development team will list Pi coins on the Exchange. Reaching 5 million users is very fantastic but it becomes meaningless if they do not get satisfactory results.

I came across with this when my friend invited me to join his referral months ago and did some mining daily but sometimes i forgot to mine once a while because i am not that so interested with Pi Network mining. Maybe next year we can make this a profit hence they are posting some updates especially doing kyc in the future and hoping this will not be a disappointment like any other mining apps out there. They are currently listed on GIEX.com with USD pair, you can check on that.

The project is not very popular here in Bitcointalk there's even a thread about this in the reputation section about their reputation if the software is really worth installing in your cellphone and it's potential price in the market,because honestly the developers opted not to use this forum for their announcement to answer all allegations.

I was aware of Pi and had installed and unistalled the app last year. But now there's a surge in users trying to get pi referrals through social networks. Facebook and TikToks are filled with Pi. Many people who have not even heard about cryptocurrency are talking about pi. It may be a good oppurtunity for peple to learn about the perks of crypto and I also hope that pi won't ruing their first expectations from a so called crypto.

Reminds me that I actually downloaded and used to app for a few days at one point. Like the idea but this is another token with good team and possible utility but everyone using it actually does not need the token. Of the 5 million do even 5 thousand people really send each other Pi?

Oh and you have to remove your referral code. Against forum rules.


Title: Re: Pi Network is at 5 million users
Post by: LogitechMouse on July 24, 2020, 09:58:25 AM
I tried to install their app months ago and uninstalled it too after a week (or less than) because of some issues here.

The instant surge of the users are probably because of the way you can earn their tokens. I've seen apps like this too but this is the only app where I tried to install it. On the other hand, you can't sell it at all at this moment so you are just rich in the dashboard and nothing else :D. You can say that it is your money if you can withdraw it and sell it to different exchanges.

I will not reinstall this in the future. I don't like the way people are earning token. It is quite easy to earn so I'm pretty sure that the token will be worthless too in the future because many holders will sell it immediately because it is free money :D. I can be wrong though so your decision still :).

Have you all noticed that they are making money out of the ads they are showing to their users everytime I logged in here I have to go fast those ads before I tuen on mining, and with million of users you can just imagine how huge their earnings coming from those ads the team will emplot more on how to make money from their millions of users.

The future and prospect of this Pi network depend  greatly on the listing on the exchange and this is the reason why it has not been listed on any exchange. It is very uncommon to see project having such huge numbers of community which in the case of Pi, it is due to the reward which is substantial and ease through which it can be mine even with the use of smartphone

Easy work, low profits!
I believe that pi will become worthless because pi token is easily to earn. It just have a difficulty when there is increase in the number of users. Unlike with other coins, mining of their tokens require mining rigs. And rigs are not really cheap. They are expensive. But look how we mine, pi token. We easily click and wait for 24 hours until you will restart again.

Anyway, I have 760 pi but I did not open it because I have found a scam accusation against pi network.

It is really a proof of work consensus? Because it is 100% pure mobile wallet app, so it doesn't make a sense to me because mobile phones have low computing power.

It is promise for you and money for them. You cannot spend that sweet promise while they are enjoying the fruits of their scheme. That's 5 million and counting all over the world. I bet their app is definitely making easy money through ads. This is no more than a well-thought of scam. That's a little bit harsh but there seems to be no other better word for it.

Im not so sure about it. Anything related to mobile mining could be a scam. I heard of this project before and been hearing until now, does this project have blockchain at all? If its a crypto project they should have a network at least.

Be careful even though its look legit there is a chance that the app could have viruses that could damage your phone and steal information.

They will make things hard for those that are patiently supporting their project and hoping that one day they will hit in a decent exchange.
No idea mate.

Give hope or not, they can have a glimpse of it by just looking to what we're telling and perspective that we're sharing to them. They have free will to take steps that they want.

We have told our thoughts about this "mining" coin and they should get the clue regarding it.

I don’t believe all of are real users. I'm not wonder if hit 5 million miners because Pi Network promoted provably for the last 2 years. I heard it from social media than i started mining this coin, a thousand coins still i own but value is 0 without exchange. You created this thread to share your referral code?

You can check their road map they are following their road map strictly so expect this project to launch next year, for me they should have launch soon and create a wallet for their token so people can claim I'm afraid they are going to implement  KYC so if you do not like KYC then better stop mining this early.

True, I don't think Pi impress me after such a long in operating in the cryptos and hasn't got to list on the exchange. The consensus algorithm is novel enough and the number of members in its community is a good point but that's not enough.

Pi has been running for a long time until now they have not been listed in the market, I don't understand how the team is oriented towards this project, the surge in users and demand is very high now but cannot be sold, for KYC I don't think they will implement that.

So because it still in the BETA phase so there is no talk about getting it listed on exchanges? For a coin with 5 million users, I don't know if it is a good thing to undermine your own coin like that.
This has been going on for a long time, why are you still doing beta testing while the PI has been accessed by hundreds of thousands of people

Post by: Ayiranorea on August 16, 2020, 12:01:02 PM
Going through the white paper I didn't saw any road map of the project. Pi network keeps growing, none is sure of its listing to exchanges. If I'm not wrong the testnet will continue until specific target users are reached. Further the mainnet seems to go on production. However this is termed to be a complicated project, but legitimate in their activities. Sure to experience growth out of mining pi, but the timeline for the same is unknown.

At first, it was interesting mining every day but at some point, I got tired of it because nothing was forthcoming. If the developers are really serious about this project then they should move forward with good listing to show how serious they are. It boring mining without ant future clearity.

I have it in my phone but it's been so many months but no updates about listing or how to claim this coin, yes they do have 5 million users according to their stat but I wonder if the number will reflect when they start doing KYC there are huge numbers of multiple users here we never know, sometimes I forgot to turn it on because it looks useless your earnings is only on papers.

Pi Network is free without investing. But the results have never been seen, I mean that the generated tokens cannot be sold at all. that's the information I got from my friend who does mining on Pi Network. Why waste time if it doesn't produce.

I'm not sure about the 5 million users maybe they just change in the statistics so that many join mining on this phone, even this promotion is continuous on social media I haven't actually tried but I have a feeling that this will not develop.

This is what I also think, they buy statistics so their project has a lot of users. I'm not sure it's all real users, Maybe a bot or whatever, I don't want to know. I'm not interested to joini them, it's a waste of my time.

I have gone through the research of this coin and it does show some information though it falls short of my expectations. Even though the network keeps on growing, there is no information about the said coin to be put into exchanges so that users can sell whatever they have mined on that said app. The ads put big legitimacy to their project so there you go. Until you can sell you mined coins you can simply call this an advertisement app on your mobile device.

Pi network started back in 14 March 2019. 5 million user within less than 2 years, is a big number. However, they have not yet listed their coin in exchanges for some unknown reason. 2 years of mining with no return doesn't look good and less attractive.

I too have earned few thousands of pi token from my mobile since last year but I don't know what to do with this since I can't sell those  off.
One thing i am aware of Pi Network is that they are shilling out a lot and sending mass E mail and especially in telegram and social media and it has become a nuisance and just now i saw this thread, i have no idea what they are planning to do and why they are spamming everywhere and giving out offers and i usually block and move on when some random user message me and are they providing incentives to spam random people ?.

How is the project since it looks like you trust the project installing their application.

Pi Network hit 5 million users. I have a fairly active mining team if anyone wanted to join. Its free to mine and uses a consensus algorith instead of POW (proof of work) mining so its done on your phone. No actual money invested as the coin is still in the BETA phase. If you download the app use the referral code Umlum. Lets get this Pi. ;D 
You mean this PI (https://minepi.com/)
I saw so many friends sending me the link. Though they are not familiar with cryptocurrency, they are inviting me. I think they have a good marketing plan. I didn't join till now but I want to know that is it really good coin or something shit coins. which is creating hype.

There are hundreds of youtube videos promoting the PI coin. I got several invitations from my friends, one I installed it and uninstalled it again. I don't find any roadmap about the listing in exchange also nothing about expected value. The team just thinks that as BTC had no value in 2008/ similarly today PI is, and one day it will have some value.  :-X

There will always be fake numbers in crypto space because when you give a fake number that makes it a news and when you have news that could attract attention you will also get a lot more investment and traders. I do not believe that it is at 5 million users, there is no way that 5 million users would register unless there is hundreds of accounts from the same person, users must be creating multiple accounts just to make it at 5 million users.

So, I think this is total baloney, it is not something real and it is only something to gain attention, nothing more. Pi Network is not something I care about for example and I am heavily involved in crypto, neither any person I know, a thing that has 5 million users but zero from anyone I know in 7k+ telegram group sounds unlikely sorry.

I've been mining Pi on my mobile phone for almost a year now (not too sure) I have mined a 1000+ Pi coins but unfortunately the project is moving too slow on improvements of their platform and exchange listing/s.

I still don't understand what pi developers are trying to prove it's been more than one year and I don't see their cryptocurrency on any exchange I don't think they really have 5 million users, they're making this kind of statements to creating more hype for their useless project which has no future at all.

I do not trust them. The only thing that they have is a mobile phone application. I didn´t see any blockchain explorer, any listing on exchange or anything else that is common for altcoins.  ::)

They are very ambitious to make PI like BTC, a something very impossible to happen  ;D, My friends also suggested I want to join them, but I am not interested to join, Because I thought it would be a waste of time. We better focus on continue collecting bit by bit BTC.

I also tried to mine this, but unfortunately it is running slow not listed on any exchange, I see much faster the same IDENA project also does not use money to mine just using a normal laptop and you can get free money from following validation and mining, you There will be more years by seeing my signature, I hope you are lucky with the Pi network, 1 more that not only Pi but IDENA also get a bonus from the invite, so you can get it for free and IDENA is already registered on the hotbit and qtrade exchanges

mining unlisted coins is as risky as investing on unlisted coins although you dont spend money on mining but youl spend electricity and cpu power of your device which also risk them from getting broke .

that idena you are talking must be nice , by the way how much money can you earn mining using a laptop ? i have a spare laptop here but never tried mining before but maybe i can consider that one if ever the rates were nice .

Most of my friends already have PI mining on their mobile phones and they even invite me to have it but, I always refuse. It's good to see that PI have already 5 million users and I guess the team behind it need to focus on listing it in the exchange because this thing might bring more users to them or else if they don't have a plan to list this in exchange it can cause loses of users because they might get bored or lose interest on doing mining without any gain. And for me, I would rather put my time on trading than mining coin who don't have plans to get listed in an exchange.

See: Topic: PI Network! A huge trap[Warning!] ...
- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5237735.msg55018716#msg55018716

...snip...

Due to my own involvement with genuine Prime number related cryptocurrencies (mostly Gapcoin and my hosting of Riecoin nodes), I decided to take a closer look at the claims being made here.

...

The following people are openly and directly responsible for the Pi network project, according to this article ....

- https://www.stanforddaily.com/2019/09/16/stanford-grads-develop-cryptocurrency-for-smartphone-users-to-increase-its-accessibility/

https://wp.stanforddaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/crypto916.jpg

"(From left to right) Vince McPhilip M.B.A. ’18, Chengdiao Fan Ph.D. ’14 and Nicolas Kokkalis Ph.D. ’13 cofounded the cryptocurrency network Pi Network with visiting student researcher Aurélien Schiltz. (Photo: Benjamin Mattingly)"

...

NICOLAS KOKKALIS
- https://hci.stanford.edu/nicolas/

The 'official' twitter feed @PiCoreTeam does seemingly show a video associating both Nicolas Kokkalis and Chengdiao Fan with this project ...

- https://twitter.com/PiCoreTeam/status/1245518844703072256

...

The Pi Network project is clearly not yet a 'live' and/or 'functioning' cryptocurrency. It is currently unspendable.

Pi Network (IOU) (PI)
- https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/pi-network-iou

"This refers to IOU tokens. FUBT has shut down so this IOU trading is no longer happening. Main net launch of Pi Network is yet to take place."

...

This official tweet from @PiCoreTeam clearly demonstrates that the entire project is currently centralized ...

- https://twitter.com/PiCoreTeam/status/1220260428883775488
"Pi Network is currently offline. We are working to diagnose and get the app back up. Keep an eye on our status page for updates: hxxp://status.minepi.com. "

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EO88ZILVUAADeE7?format=jpg&name=medium

...

The Pi Network project is quite clearly designed to collect and amass a rather disturbing amount of 'users' personal information for the purposes of KYC ? etc., etc., Also, being highlighted here:

- https://changelly.com/blog/pi-network-pi-mining-step-by-step-guide/

(As to why 'industry' players like changelly are supporting projects without a 'live' cryptocurrency, and perhaps to the detriment of original Prime number related cryptocurrencies (doing actual math on a blockchain) like Gapcoin and Reicoin, remains unclear to myself!)

...

"Submit your #PiPhase2 video for a chance to be included in our celebration video for Pi Day and our transition to Phase 2! All Pioneers are encouraged to participate! For submission instructions watch the video below. Retweet and mention us @PiCoreTeam so we see your post!"

- https://twitter.com/PiCoreTeam/status/1237513542288302085

....

Conclusion: I'm fairly sure that the real Satoshi Nakamoto would find this currently centralized, not-curently-a-cryptocurrency, potentially privacy infringing (mining your data ?) smart phone application to be very far removed from the concept for Bitcoin and other 'true' cryptocurrency and altcoin projects.

Therefore, I will not be 'mining' and/or signing up for this project myself. I uphold the [warning] notification provided by the OP.

Have a nice day now!  ::)

Yeah, I think they are doing is more on fair distribution because they are reaching more people that don't know cryptocurrencies before. Even Bitcoins. They are gamifying the system. The more people sharing the wealth the better than just few big whales just like with other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum.

I don't think they can focus on listings, because listings usually cost money. While this project has no money, they do not hold an ICO or IEO, as I know they get money only from google adsense which they install in the application.

PI network is a scam because it's application is a malware and it's too good to be true that you could only mine PI using your phone, but it would only steal your data in your phone. I also have heard that there is no recent update about the PI network, and it is why it still haven't get listed in any exchange.

Recently, I reinstalled the Pi network app, when I was getting some raised hope about the possibility of the coin being listed.  I just hope everything does not amount to waste of time at the end of the day.
