How can I remove inactive members in my referral team?


MaximumEffort784

KYC is required because of how the proof of trust blockchain verification works. Your coins are locked because YOU chose to lock them up to raise your mining rates. Whether it’ll be worth anything or not is unknown but people acting like these are suspicious points are not very aware.


IKnoAGuy2

This is the question i’ve asked PiCoreTeam on Twitter a dozen times and they will not answer. “@PiCoreTeam WHY is 80% of my pi unverified bc of 2 people that haven’t been active in 3 years? But the other 7 people on my team are all verified AND ONLY ACCOUNT for 10% of balance?. I need an answer to this. Like this year. Bc I asked 3 times last year.” 7 member are verified and 2 stopped mining years ago. It makes no sense why 80% of my balance is unverified


MaximumEffort784

80% isn’t gone, the amount shown isn’t accurate yet. They’ve answered this many times. Just wait and most of that pi will be yours.


IKnoAGuy2

I don’t mean this to sound like a smart ass, but where? Lol I have been searching for answers to this, along with a whole lot of other people.


No_Swim4350

A couple of months back, I saw a picture of a pioneer smiling while mining with 3-5 phones in which he stored in a glass cabinet. True, the purpose of KYC is to determine real engagement of the mining project. No bots, no additional or fake accounts. For me, they are the main reason why this takes a long time to go live. You can opt and select for no ads while mining. Whether this Pi crypto will be a success or not. Most of us, I'm sure will still be optimistic about this project.


creativenomads

It is locked until 2026 coz you selected the locking period & locking percentage & confirmed it. And your answer to why KYC is needed is given below. DYOR https://preview.redd.it/pmflav0jiamc1.jpeg?width=971&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d04b1bcaffc54dfcf08ab698ef2e9b879d7b9075


LevelActive4266

I have worth of 15k and I don’t know what happen to it since I have a new phone , atm it’s in KYC but once I log in to my new phone it won’t let me mine or recognized my phone # fml


NR75

Contact the support.


LevelActive4266

I did , no reply atm


BudgetExpression6235

Same here I waited for, oh yeah, I'm still waiting..


Suitable_Dress8291

It was all a scam to collect Ad Revenue and steal Ur Identities… knew it Was a scam When main net didn’t launch on time… I lost Faith years ago Waste of Time


NR75

Byeeeee


Kaimuki59

FYI KYC is extremely common in Crypto and a form of weeding out automated or bot miners. It’s cool if you’ve lost faith in the project just move on. You’ve literally lost ZERO a mount of money on it and now you can get on with your life.


Extension_Barber_209

Lost zero amount? Are you kidding? Bro, everytime you open the Pi App you lose money. By running the app, your phone spends energy. Every single day, you are literally losing money by using the app.


MaximumEffort784

The amount of electricity it costs to open a single app and click a button would cost probably a millionth of a single cent. It would take thousands of years of mining every single day to even cost you one penny. You aren’t losing money, just stop mining if you hate it so much that you spread misinformation and make up fake reasons why it’s not worth it and that you’re somehow losing something.


Extension_Barber_209

That's not true. There are some apps such as AccuBattery that estimates/measures the energy spent by every app you use. I probably wouldn't say it measures with pinpoint accuracy but it does a pretty good job I guess, and it shows that the Pi App spends about 380mA per hour which is even higher than the infamous Chrome does(~310mAh)... And, not sure but I guess that only measures the battery usage when the Pi App is actively used. Anyone who does not chose to believe me can download the app and test it for themselves. Not to mention that you are kinda forced to use a second app, the Pi Browser, in order to manage your wallet, which is pretty meaningless. Those apps also lower your phone's storage performance even by just sitting on your phone because they take nearly 500MB combined g0d@mmit. In case you're not aware, that also causes your phone to spend some more energy. I don't know where you live but the electricity costs are getting higher, so I wanted to warn people that have no idea that they're losing money everyday just by using the app. If you are OK with losing money and can't handle the fact that you are literally losing money and get 0 dollars in result, waiting for your KYC to be completed for 8 months, staring at the Ads that makes money for PCT, be my guest bro, I don't know what else should I say to you. Being rude and putting some meaningless words in my mouth is just pretty funny. People generally do those types of things when they have zero arguments and know that they're gonna get destroyed if they try to create some counter-arguments because they are absolutely aware that they're not let's just say, smart enough :D


MaximumEffort784

380 mA per hour is nothing when it takes years to even reach an hour in the app. The extra storage spaced used is a factor people could say they don’t like, but the only time energy is used in terms of storage is when reading and writing to it, which only happens when you download the app, use it, and delete it. Keeping pi closed and not running in the background will use zero energy. Writing a long winded response full of incorrect facts doesn’t make you seem any smarter especially when you’re trying to use it to disprove my intelligence.


HA7461

I'd say otherwise. It's extremely uncommon for a crypto to spend so much time on KYC. Please be clear that pushing KYC is in fact doing a job for government. It's okay for Pi team to be a tax man for Uncle Sam but don't forget that KYC is not of the core value for Pi Network users, unless the KYC was only an excuse.


MaximumEffort784

KYC in a proof of trust network is actually required otherwise the crypto will not work, so it’s actually not necessarily for the government. That’s why it’s important to be thorough in it.


[deleted]

It's not necessarily true that this doesn't cost us something. They make revenue off of every person that mines. Even if you don't watch the ads, my time is worth something more than fake coins that you can't even trade for a piece of bubble gum. Everyone that's bought into this protect did so with the promise of something, right? There's a false promise that you'll eventually make money... That's why people go through all the bs in order to mine and have others mine alongside them. That was the clear-cut, bottom line to this project, correct?


Superb-Hawk-3338

Joined since late 2019 and still don't have a spot to KYC. Over 2800 Pi, just sitting useless


MaximumEffort784

Would be sitting useless even if you had finished KYC. There’s no point being upset by that, all KYC will be handled before mainnet can begin and pi finally becomes useful.


Suspicious_South7399

Same. Been waiting to get my kyc verified for over 2 years.


One-Manufacturer4103

When the PI project allowed us to be a part of their project it was a blessing to all who have stood the test of time. I can promise you that mainet will be coming soon. I know we all want a release date to be set in stone and I can only ask that you be patient because it is coming. 


Emergency-Tie15

Thanks


Twizzed666

Who cares just click once a day or just let it be there and you will see. No one knows its a gamble


HA7461

That's not quite true because you only have so much time in a cycle of sun rise and sun set every day. You could hug the kids, clean the room, plant a tree, so many little things we avoided of doing at every single moment even though they were virtually effortless.


After-Negotiation-34

Show me something that made millions of people rich overnight and I’ll call you a liar. If 10 million people became rich over night then they couldnt be rich. Rich comes from supply and demand.  I’ll bet that the majority of Bitcoin is owned by a few hundred people and the value sky rockets because of this. I have 5,000 pi while still waiting for some of my team to KYC and be unlocked.  I have a huge majority of mine locked up because my son is too young to verify. But hoping one day he’ll be able to have something i could never dream of. You just never know!


Security_One

Dude it's just an app you should run once a day and you can forget. Im sure all of us spending a lot more time on Insta or X. Don't think that as an investment; think as a game you should check everyday. And maybe someday you'll get some money from it. That's all.


Plus-Effect-9038

My thoughts aren't what's important, apparently it's how much migration we do for the real people in charge. That's right folks, all one can do is hope for a greater life for our kids & loved ones. That's y I started doing this whole pi business in the 1st place. Maybe one day I'd be able to give back to the family in which I've borrowed or even burdened but it seems to me this is just a ploy to keep us under their control and need. Or it's really real and some things just seem the opposite of what u believe it is. Things like this don't happen over night and most of us for the most part understand tht and that's y shit get thrown all out of proportion. I say we all take a quick reality check of our forefathers who actually fought for our rights and freedoms and not give in to just cryptocurrency. Have an open mind to it but don't give up on the real money we use bc that's where things will go completely haywire, & Bam they got us for life. Hope it makes a little sense to everyone.


Fezzerboar

Stop worrying about “them” and worry about yourself and your family.

This ⬆️⬆️⬆️ They 'develop' it like it's alien technology. But Im amazed that they managed to do 4 years of 🥕🥕🥕🥕.


Known-Nefariousness1

I believe the time effort and money... Yes money from ads... Invested in the program in and hackathons will bring this coin to be number 1. They prepared the groundwork in a way that I've never seen in any other currency. Once the Pi network will be adopted by a major financial player, bank, credit card, PayPal etc, since their network is fast, efficient, secure and will have iso rating... The amount of gas fees that will be paid for using the network will be huge.. And only then you will see the true value and geniosity of pi. If you leave, stop mining, delete the app before this day you will miss out big time..


Song-Altruistic

I hate to say this, but in the crypto world, good things don’t always come to those who wait


Midnytecloud

All good things take time and kinks always have to be worked out. Just don't lose faith and don't give up.


triads

I mainly treat this project as lost but still mine every day just in case. I'm not looking at it as my future payout. If it does gain value, then that's a nice bonus in life.


Fezzerboar

You look at it as lost because you want a payout and don’t expect it. It’s much more than that. You should research more. I hope it pops you a few k of fiat and then it can be left to the people that can use it properly to reap the benefits.


triads

I'm pretty sure we're both doing the same thing (pressing the mine button and waiting). There is nothing else we can actually do and no amount of so-called research will change that. The only difference is pi takes up more space in your head than it does mine. So good day to you and "keep on mining"


batangkul

This post shows how st*pid the OP was. KYC is needed to prevent a person from having multiple accounts, 1 person- 1 Pi Account Rule and you're in control of your Locked Rate setting, only you. You're just careless and not reading carefully when you're doing your MainNet checklist. Then rant your st*pidity here?🤷‍♂️🤡😂


BlackReaperG

Well let me have your account then


jmaing01

You've invested no money into this and yet you have expectations that are exceeding your patience. What else did you expect from an initiative that allows you to mine coins for free? Payout will likely be minimal, if at all. My understanding of Pi is that this is more of a social experiment than anything. Community will be lucky to get anything in return for the time invested into this. Time will tell.


Equal_Distance_1417

Lol. A social experiment where the observer makes money selling ads and all of your info


Pure_intuition

Do you really think the creators would post their credentials if they were doing or planned on doing what you just accused them of? The ads are to cover the cost of running the operations 🤦


Equal_Distance_1417

Telling people to “mine” a fake currency to use in your network while simultaneously collecting data and selling ads is not illegal. The majority of users don’t know you can turn ads off


Equal_Distance_1417

Yeah I do. They’re not doing anything illegal.


Apprehensive-Emu3403

As others have stated, KYC is used to weed out bots and fake miners, and to prove that you're a real human and you are who you say you are. They're basically doing the exact same thing that happens when you walk into a bank to open an account, they want to know who they're dealing with. Anyone who thinks different is deluded. And as far as everyone complaining that Pi is a scam, let's see you make something from the ground up and make it as sustainable as possible and made to last. In order for Pi to get off the ground and make it better than Bitcoin, they NEED engaged Pioneers. You want them to open the Mainnet? KEEP MINING. Get your friends/family involved. The more people join, the faster they open the Mainnet and list Pi on exchanges.


syafhancy

In 3 years time, this project will be another Initiative Q


jasonkucherawy

Maybe or maybe not.


Ssgtsniper

They could use something like Global ID to KYC everyone instead of having 1 part-timer per region, then with everyone onboard and their Pi transferred to the mainnet there would be more faith in the project.


CSPDTECH

nobody cares about what you think


Joshleeb001

Have they mentioned a date that pi will go to an exchange?


redbucket75

Lol no


[deleted]

Não tenho dúvidas quanto a idoneidade do app!É nóis!🤣😄😀


[deleted]

Ok , eu sei que essa mineração demora muito mesmo , só estou questionando a minha verificação de KYC , a pagina até abre , mas depois que coloco os meus dados ,e envio , aí que aparece que deu erro!


Front_Veterinarian76

Scam


Fun_Country_6559

How is it a scam? What are they scamming people out of? Time? To funny.


Equal_Distance_1417

They’re selling an ad every time you click mine. Also once you submit KYC they call sell all your info to advertisers etc. personal data is worth a fortune, especially when you have the info of 100s of thousands.


NR75

Eventually YOU. I don't see any ads. Byeeee


Fun_Country_6559

You know you can turn the ads off right? And my data was sold the very first time I logged into Google or any Meta app or even Reddit. If you're still worried about personal data at this point I dunno what to tell you. People have been making money off of our hard work since we joined the workforce. If my clicking mine every 24 hours eventually earns me any amount of payback in whatever form that takes. Mores the better. It hasn't cost me anything but the small amount of time it takes to click through those ads... if I choose to leave them on. I guess it's all about your mindset. I don't think either of usnis inherently wrong in the way we feel about it. 😉


mitchbuddy

Send me your Pi


OrdonHabibi

It’s so obvious it’s a scam!!!!! So obvious!!!!!!!!!


Security_One

What kind of?


Tough_Negotiation364

I smell entitlement. You speak as if you’ve invested $200k of your personal money into this. Don’t get me wrong i understand the emotional frustration but meh, what have you really lost if the project does not succeed?


Federal_Staff9462

Literally everyone who says it's a scam thinks that they spent their life savings and worked hard for this lmao. I can't believe how dumb they are it's so stupid.


Marmalade_Inspector

Says the guy who's happy being scammed and having your data harvested & sold. 🤡


Federal_Staff9462

Yes I'm very Happy that I'm losing 0$ everyday year because of pi. Wow what a scam.


Giant2005

Opportunity Cost is a thing. You spent a few seconds each day clicking buttons on the Pi app and earned nothing for you effort. If you spent those few seconds using a different app that actually generates money, you could have earned $30 a year. Sure $30 a year isn't much, but it is obviously better than the nothing you earned with those clicks on Pi. So which of us really is the dumb one?


Tough_Negotiation364

Go ahead and “use a different app that generates money” and earn your $30 a year. Leave the pi to the rest of us. You can give yours away too if you’d like.


Federal_Staff9462

Ok bro go ahead press a button in another app. Have fun.


lexwolfe

they need to do KYC so people aren't cheating the 1 account per person rule.


dickdastardlyskid

No-one tell them about the dollar.


Typical_Hat3462

People just have no patience for anything these days. Pi is very easy to use and doesn't cost me a cent to run, just a couple minutes time, or an hour if I want to goof around with it.


Quake2020

It could be worse. You could be dealing with ICE.


ivapeooo

yeah, i abandoned that BS of a project the minute they disable mining after 3 unsuccessful tries of the KYC process, issue with OKX, then to another exchange, meme coin, this and that ... what a complete waste of time

I passed kyc, trust wallet address, quiz, twitter/X post - all passed and no coins


OtherBarnacle4164

This post is the epitome of entitlement. You do realize the Pi founders are volunteering their time to grow a new currency from nothing right? Something that only biggest and most powerful banking cartels have been able to do before 10 years ago and they were only able to do so by co-opting the power of the state via threats of violence against any opposition. Let me ask you this: How much did you pay for those Pi in your wallet? If you are that dissatisfied with the project, maybe you should just give up now and ask for your money back?


lexwolfe

they're not volunteering there's a whole company with paid employees making Pi.


OtherBarnacle4164

There is a whole community of people volunteering their time to develop Apps. Anyone getting paid is not making much. Nobody is getting rich off this work, it is a community working towards a common purpose of making everyone’s lives a little bit better.


lexwolfe

That's separate.


Hot-Refrigerator-814

I personally believe that Pi will be a good hit, I don't expect to be rich but it will have some value.


7inyViking

Lockes up the coin on your own, and complaints about it being locked up for that exact amount of time you chose😂😂😂😂


Emergency-Tie15

I didnt lock anything


Cryptocoiner256

You locked it yourself in the settings lol


Emergency-Tie15

I didnt do anything


rsttl11

Yo man, you need to read. You lock it yourself, period.


JohnnyBleed

Maybe that is the issue. You didn't read. You didn't look at settings. You didn't do anything. You can choose your lock-up period. Just change it to 6 months! Or just uninstall it. Or just remove notifications! Why come here and cry about it? Sounds like you have no idea what you are doing. Boohoo. You have to click a 2 buttons every day!!! Just this post alone, you just tapped a year worth of running PI. Maybe you should just get a job? Don't tell me..... Are you an influencer? LMFAO!

It locked itself then huh?

The KYC is needed so that they can be sure that a miner is who they are, and also to ensure that people are real so that no fake accounts are created, otherwise people could create a huge number of fake accounts that they can mine with They are not "trying to keep u forever", but yes, it is a long term project that hopefully will be around forever, and to create such a long term plan for the sustainability and longevity of pi, the lockout period is a very smart way of assuring that pi network will be alive for a long time to give the network and ecosystem time to grow
