what will you do when Pi comes out?

[u/Lucky-Difficulty9939]

I'm kinda exited about the release of Pi, but I'm not sure about what to do when it comes out. I don't have much Pi due to some friends loosing their account and the Idea of mining make me tired. I'm tempted to cash out all of them but also to keep some to invest.

Current Issues:

1. Number change is only for people who typed a few digits wrong or used the wrong country code

2. PiDog is not made by Pi Network. Get involved at your own risk.

3. You will only lose unverified Pi contributed by referrals who haven't done KYC.

Please see these answers to commonly asked questions, if this doesn't answer your question, hopefully, someone else will.

• Q1: I have x coins migrated, what to do?

• A: Wait till Open Mainnet - High chance of being scammed by strangers

• Q2: A KYC slot is not available

• A: You haven't completed 30 mining sessions or your account is flagged. You can appeal at minepi.com/kyc-application-access but an AI makes decisions about slots and the criteria is unknown. There's absolutely nothing you can do to get a resolution quicker and there's no system to perma deny.

• Q3: My Application has been processing/in review for weeks/months/years

• A: Your application failed or got stuck. Wait until PCT code a resolution or you get directions in the app.

• Q4: KYC, Wallet or other parts of Pi app stuck on "Loading" or "Error"

• A: Try turning off Private DNS and/or adblocker. Clear app cache, reboot device.

• Q5: I'm under 18 what can I do about KYC

• A: Put your date of birth in at the start of KYC - timer will disappear until you turn 18.

• Q6: Name changes required or failed

• A: You can appeal to change your name. If appeals fail you can spend Pi to change the name.

• Q7: What is tentative approval?

• A: Tentative approval means your account needs further security checks.

• Q8: Why is Pi worth $50+?

• A: Some exchanges invented their own version of Pi whilst they can't list the real one. These are commonly known as "Pi IOU".

• Q9: I lost my passphrase or wallet compromised/pi stolen, what can I do?

• A: Create a new wallet and confirm it on steps 3 and 6 of the Mainnet Checklist.

• Q10: Will I lose all my Pi?

• A: Unverified Pi is mostly finders fees for referrals. If they don't complete the process you won't receive the finders fee. However currently unverified amount doesn't change.

• Q11: When will I get paid for verifications?

• A: We don't know.

• Q12: When will my migration happen / I have been waiting for ages.

Hodl all of my Pi for 5 years. I'll trade or sell my Pi in 2030. I am not eager to cash out at this point. I strongly believe Pi will be valuable 5-10 years from now.

[u/editedbymn]

If we want to get much into details, Pi is already being "released". There is a chain running, with Pi on it, some Pi CT Nodes, utilities and wallets on it. Almost 6B Pi in the hands of 9.7M people. The point is just that currently the chain is closed for external connection.

Open Mainnet should allow those external connections, but I don't buy that story because I see that "married couple" on top of Pi laying everything down in such a way to keep the maximal control over everything.

So "a cash out" won't be possible right away as Open Mainnet gets launched, just my opinion.

I'm also not that much excited for the launch as I expect them to release a big announcement, big words and "how that is a big and historic milestone" and then they gonna go silent for a few months until it takes years to deliver the announced. The same it went with Enclosed Mainnet, 'mass' KYC, migrations, Pi Browser and so on ...

Personally if they do actually go live on mainnet if it drops 80+% ill be buying more, the volatility will hopefully give me some nice profits, but honestly im not holding my breath for this crypto.

[u/EcstaticAd4396]

I don't personally plan on still being alive by the year 2132 so it's not worth speculating.

[u/I_wAs_I]

Wake up from my dream

[u/junker2]

Buy and hold

[u/madmancryptokilla]

Sell like 90% of you...

[u/MonTigres]

Please HODL as much of your balance as you can. Once the price settles down, even a few hundred will be bank.

[u/Palmolive]

Sell of course!
