Today, you can mine (or earn) Pi by helping to secure the currency and by growing Pi\u2019s trusted network. While most cryptocurrencies (like Bitcoin) have been very hard for everyday people to use and access, Pi puts the power of cryptocurrency into the palm of your hand.<\/p>\n<h4>Is this real? Is Pi a scam?<\/h4>\n<p>Pi is not a scam. It is a genuine effort by a team of Stanford graduates to give everyday people greater access to cryptocurrency.\u00a0Pi\u2019s core team is led by two Stanford PhDs and one Stanford MBA, all of whom helped build Stanford\u2019s blockchain community. We cannot guarantee that the project will succeed. However, we do promise to work our hardest to make our shared dreams a reality, while maintaining the highest standards of integrity. You can learn more about us in the \u201cCore Team\u201d page in the main menu of the app.https:\/\/minepi.com\/team<\/p>\n<h4>How does this app work? How do I earn more Pi?<\/h4>\n<p>This app allows you to earn Pi by making simple contributions to Pi\u2019s community. The more you contribute, the more Pi you earn.\u00a0To start earning Pi, check in every 24 hours and hit the lightning button to start mining. Once you are mining, you can boost your hourly rate by inviting trusted friends and family to join the community. After 3 days of mining, you can boost your earnings more by building your security circle, which contributes to the overall security of the network. Keep in mind, earlier members of the network mine at a higher rate than those that come after them.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=&#8221;198&#8243; img_size=&#8221;630&#215;780&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; onclick=&#8221;link_image&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;zoomIn&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4>Do I need to leave the app open to mine? Does the app drain my battery or data?<\/h4>\n<p>You do not need to leave the app open to mine. Pi does not affect your phone\u2019s performance, drain your battery, or use your network data. Once you hit the lightning button, you can even close the app and you will continue to mine Pi.\u00a0So how can you mine a cryptocurrency without draining your battery or data? Instead of burning energy as proof of work cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin do, Pi secures its ledger when members vouch for each other as trustworthy. This forms a network of interlocking \u201csecurity circles\u201d that determines who can execute transactions. This novel approach allows crypto mining on your phone by leveraging your existing social connections, with no financial cost, no battery drain, and a light footprint on the planet. Read the technical section in our White paper for a more accurate and detailed explanation.<\/p>\n<h4>Why do earlier members mine at a higher rate?<\/h4>\n<p>Earlier members mine at a higher rate to reward contributions to the network when they are most needed.\u00a0Pi aims to be the world\u2019s most widely used and distributed cryptocurrency. To achieve that goal, Pi incentivizes its earliest members to make contributions that will ensure its success (e.g., securing and growing the network). To reflect the importance of early contributions, the rate of mining decreases as more people join the network. At this time, the base rate of mining halves every time the number of active users increases by a factor of 10 (see graph below). This rate will eventually fall to 0 when the network reaches a certain number of users (e.g. 10 million or 100 million). At that point, just like Bitcoin, miners will continue to be rewarded through transaction fees and not through the minting of new currency.<\/p>\n<h4>What is the Ambassador role? How does the earning team work?<\/h4>\n<p>As an Ambassador, you earn up to a 25% bonus on your base mining rate for each person you invite to the network.\u00a0You become an Ambassador when new members join your earning team by using your invitation code when they sign up for Pi Network. Each member of your earning team provides a 25% boost to your earnings when they are actively mining. A new member can only be added to their inviter\u2019s earning team because each member-only joins Pi once using one inviter\u2019s invitation code. In other words, unlike the security circles where people can be added into multiple member\u2019 circles based on trust, earning teams are fixed based on who invited whom. Each invitee in the world can only be claimed by one inviter.<\/p>\n<h4>What is the Contributor role? How do I become a contributor?<\/h4>\n<p>Becoming a Contributor allows you to earn more Pi by building a security circle of 3-5 trusted members.\u00a0Pi\u2019s Contributor role becomes unlocked for users after you\u2019ve finished 3 mining sessions as a Pioneer. After 3 days of mining, you will see a new icon of the security circle on the home screen of the app which you can click to start. To become a contributor, you need to add 3-5 people whom you trust to your security circle.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;64px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; inverse=&#8221;&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1613734582248{background-color: #ffffff !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_raw_html]JTNDYnIlM0UlM0NiciUzRSUzQ2JyJTNFJTNDYnIlM0UlM0NiciUzRQ==[\/vc_raw_html][vc_single_image image=&#8221;181&#8243; img_size=&#8221;300&#215;200&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;zoomIn&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: black;\">Pi Network Team<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html]JTNDYnIlM0U=[\/vc_raw_html][vc_column_text]<strong><span style=\"color: black;\">Dr. Nicolas Kokkalis<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: black;\">Head of Technology<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: black;\">Stanford PhD and instructor of Stanford\u2019s first decentralized applications class; combining distributed systems and human computer interaction to bring cryptocurrency to everyday people.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; inverse=&#8221;&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1613734582248{background-color: #ffffff !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_raw_html]JTNDYnIlM0UlM0NiciUzRQ==[\/vc_raw_html][vc_single_image image=&#8221;180&#8243; img_size=&#8221;300&#215;200&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;zoomIn&#8221;][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_raw_html]JTNDYnIlM0U=[\/vc_raw_html][vc_column_text]<strong><span style=\"color: black;\">Dr. Chengdiao Fan<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: black;\">Head of Product<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: black;\">Stanford PhD in Computational Anthropology harnessing social computing to unlock human potential on a global scale.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html]JTNDYnIlM0UlM0NiciUzRQ==[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4>What are security circles?<\/h4>\n<p>Security circles are groups of 3-5 trusted people built by each of Pi\u2019s members. Security circles secure the currency by building a global trust graph that prevents bad actors from executing fraudulent transactions.\u00a0While cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin secure their ledgers by forcing miners to burn energy (proof of work), Pi secures its ledger when its members vouch for each other as trustworthy. Pi\u2019s Contributors vouch for each other by building security circles comprised of 3-5 members they deem as trustworthy. Security circles should be comprised of people you trust not to execute fraudulent transactions. The network\u2019s security circles form a global trust graph that determines who can be trusted to execute transactions on Pi\u2019s ledger.<\/p>\n<h4>What is the value of Pi?<\/h4>\n<p>Today Pi is worth approximately 0 dollars\/euro etc. similar to Bitcoin in 2008. Pi\u2019s value will be backed by the time, attention, goods, and services offered by other members of the network.\u00a0By pooling our attention, goods, and services around a common currency, Pi\u2019s members seek to capture more of the value that typically goes to banks, technology giants (e.g., Facebook, Amazon), and other intermediaries. Today, we are laying the infrastructure for this digital currency and marketplace by distributing the currency, building the community, and developing the technology to ensure its security.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=&#8221;194&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; onclick=&#8221;link_image&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;zoomIn&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4>Can I withdraw my Pi? What is the timeline for withdrawals?<\/h4>\n<p>No, you cannot withdraw Pi yet. You will be able to withdraw Pi or exchange Pi for other currencies in Phase 3 of the project when Pi transitions to a fully decentralized blockchain. Pi launched Phase 1 of the project on 3\/14\/2019 (Pi Day). During Phase 1, your balances are being recorded with a guarantee of being honored when Pi transitions to mainnet (Phase 3). Transfers of Pi are restricted until we reach mainnet to prevent bad actors from accumulating Pi from fake accounts. For example, a bad actor could mine from fake accounts, transfer the Pi to a legitimate account, and then pass through Pi\u2019s account verification process despite their illicit gains. We are still refining the exact development timeline for the project.

However, Pi will be able to be traded in Phase 3 of the project (i.e., Mainnet). At that point, exchanges can choose to list Pi. In the meanwhile, Pi\u2019s core team is focused on implementing our technical roadmap (see our white paper) to reach phase 3.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;64px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row inverse=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;196&#8243; img_size=&#8221;1700x850px&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; inverse=&#8221;&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1613735010525{background-color: #ffffff !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4>Can I mine from more than one device? How does the network prevent fake accounts, bots, etc. from earning Pi?<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\">No, you cannot mine from more than one device. The network has a strict rule of one account per person. Pi uses a multi-pronged strategy to ensure Pi is not mined by fake accounts.\u00a0First, the network uses Google\u2019s ReCaptcha v3 to know if a device is operated by a human or a machine. (This technology is completely invisible to most users since they are real humans, but bots may start seeing captchas if google\u2019s algorithm catches them). Over time, we are also developing a machine learning algorithm based on real users\u2019 mining behavior to predict bots.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\">Second, Pi\u2019s consensus algorithm requirement (security circles) makes it easy to detect fake accounts. Fake accounts will not have enough real people pointing at them via security circles. At best, fake accounts would be pointing at each other with very few incoming pointers from the rest of the network. This anomaly is easy to detect with computer algorithms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\">Finally, when Pi enters its 3rd and final phase &#8211; Mainnet, only accounts validated as belonging to distinct real individuals will be honored. In other words, even if all other methods missed out on some \u201cbot\u201d accounts, this user validation process will further eliminate them because bot owners will not be able to prove bots as real people with real names. We are currently exploring decentralized KYC processes that would be minimally intrusive.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Is this app a wallet? Will we hold our own private\/public keys? And can we use an external wallet to hold our Pi in the future?<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\">Yes, your phones will serve as a cryptocurrency wallet that will be linked to your current accounts (number \/ Facebook). Like with any other public blockchain, Pi\u2019s blockchain will also allow in-app\/external wallets to hold Pi and transact with it, by submitting transactions to the blockchain directly. This is a functionality that we have currently scheduled to be provided on Phase 3 of the project. (as a reminder we are now on phase 1 &#8211; distribution of the currency &#8211; we will then launch a Testnet as phase 2, and phase 3 is when our mainnet will be live). During phase 3 of the project, you will also have the option to take full ownership of your private\/public keys.<br \/>\nPi aims to be much more accessible to everyday people which is why we are trying to build this integrated interface. We\u2019ve chosen this phased implementation to make it easier for everyday people to use. We are still in our early days and are excited about the road ahead of us.<br \/>\n<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;64px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;64px&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;363&#8243; img_size=&#8221;310&#215;71&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; onclick=&#8221;custom_link&#8221; link=&#8221;https:\/\/cryptominingfuture.com\/en\/instalacija\/&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row_content&#8221; inverse=&#8221;&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1613744486896{background-color: #6e3198 !important;}&#8221; el_id=&#8221;foto&#8221;][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;116&#8243; img_size=&#8221;1170&#215;585&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row inverse=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text] Download Pi Network the mobile app to start earning today!
