Even if it was a scam at the start. They would be daft not to launch a coin with 14 million active users.

Apparently there is a back alley market for these coins and they go for up to $10.

Strange, how do you send them?

They're actually trading for a notional value of $100 per coin.
There is a discord group with vendors who support the coin. If you buy something with Pi from a vendor you are then prohibited from making any other purchase using the token until you reciprocate by accepting Pi for a transaction.
If you don't have anything to sell, they have a list of things users want, eg. links to Amazon products and a user saying "I want this". So you can buy something for a user using your own FIAT and you accept payment from the user in Pi.

It's all explained well in this video.

Wow, big AVOID for me.

That's like me saying I have this bag of stones, I value each stone at $100 and if you want a stone you have to sell me something for it up to a FIAT value of $100. You've already given loads of people their own stones for free so now everyone thinks their stone is also worth $100.

I can't see anybody other than current Pi holders wanting anything to do with the token. There will be a lot of people left out of pocket here if they get caught up on trading this.

MASSIVE RISK! avoid at all cost, i have pi but going to go on a limb and say it's completely worthless, sorry i even gave that youtuber a view, looks like a complete shiller of PI and BEE and other worthless tokens.
Yes it may be worth money some day but i would never pay for for or trade it for real crypto

lintdrummer · 13-03-2021 03:38PM

I haven't traded it myself, I'm just sitting on the sidelines waiting for it to hit an exchange at some stage. But there is a fairly large number of people with faith in it who are trading it regardless of how stupid that is.
Remember, they are accepting Pi for payment, but are also able to use it for payment so it's not a one way street.

It will never hit the exchange btw. I couldn't watch that video but did he say you have to pay a fee to be part of this pi payment crap?

Grumpypants · 13-03-2021 04:15PM

It is totally worthless. They say that in the FAQ.

If it does get to the mainnet then there is already 14million people that know about it, have it and can actively start using it.

In the other hand it could just be a clever way to harvest data and show ads.

This. This is the only credible point.

This notion that it's worth *anything* atm is just bogus; least of all a 'notional' value of anything for a coin no one even holds! It's a Ponzi Scheme/IOU scam with extra steps.

The fact that it holds no value and won't for a long time gives me more confidence. The sheer volume of coins that sold the coin on a promise without any use case in the last ICO bubble was astronomical.

With this they are building the community, building the use case and if it gets to the point where it is working then it will become worth something.

We live in a world where a literal meme coin with no use exists and is making people millionaires.

Presume you're referring to Dogecoin. This is a complete dogwhistle argument as Doge is:

- Pegged to fiat
- Has public consensus as a value store
- Mineable (without a cap so it inflates)
- Listed on almost every exchange in existence
- Ownable and transferable
- Readily accepted in a wide variety of retail and service transactions online and offline

The fact that it holds no value and won't for a long time gives me more confidence. The sheer volume of coins that sold the coin on a promise without any use case in the last ICO bubble was astronomical.

Good for you. Find me another crypto that wasn't listed on any exchange and where no one actually held the underlying token. It's a null argument as Pi isn't an 'ICO' as there's no fiat or exchangeable component as, and I stress this again, nobody but the network owners hold any.

With this they are building the community, building the use case and if it gets to the point where it is working then it will become worth something.

What use-case? What milestone? Even in some future fantasy whereby it was suddenly worth something and exchangeable for Fiat or other crypto, nobody but the network owners hold any.

Another step closer.

The test Pi wallet is available on desktop, the mobile app is being reviewed by Google and Apple before it goes live in a few days.

It runs on the testnet and is just there for testing the transactions, the test Pi you get are not real.

Once the mainnet comes online you will be able to add your mined Pi to the wallet and start using it.

Mainnet is still set for the end of this year.

And they crossed 15 million active users so once it does go live it wil already have a big user base.

So 5 million trillion PI coins then?

Grumpypants · 10-04-2021 03:47PM

I'm Posting this from the Pi browser !!

Mobile wallet is up and running too. 100 test Pi granted to test it out.

Rolling into phase 3 mainnet by the end of the year.

Transfers on the testnet are instant, very impressive.
Anyone here running a full node from the cloud like on a AWS?

Nothing to add, but your user name brought back many good memories.

Got them at 8.20 as well. It is a test so likely low volume. But when you see established wallets taking hours to deliver this is very welcome.

I am new to this pi network and crypto. Looking for trusted people for my security circle. Also my referral is karankhurana96.

Grumpypants · 14-02-2025 05:47PM

It's been a long road but those that stuck with Pi will see it release on mainnet on the 20th of Feb.

I've no idea if it will be worth anything. Not holding out much hope.

Has anyone successfully recovered a lost account? Mined some coins years ago but cannot login and the forgot password system doesn’t seem to work!

attached to phone number no? think you can just recover it and send a sms to the number again.

just migrated mine today, few k's

I'd say a massive proportion of the supply is lost or forgotten about
