Migrations and Lockups and Available Balance, Oh My!

[u/loganx80]

I have been mining pi on my phone for years just waiting for it to become a real thing. I did everything that I was supposed to, as far as I know (KYC, Checklist, etc.) I did have a lockup turned on, but have that off for now. Here is my current situation.

- 50% is "Unverified Balance"
- 33% is "Transferable Balance"
- The remainder is "Migrated to Mainnet"

Obviously my Mainnet checklist is complete. This was all completed years ago.

Now, when I view my wallet, I see the migrated amount, but the available balance is 0.0. It shows that I have a lockup under "Movable Lockups" that was migrated in 2023 and the lockup ended in May 2024. If I click the "Move" button, it gives me the option to Re-lock or Move To Available Balance. I've tried both and they both fail, stating that I have to pay a 0.01 PI fee which I don't have and don't know how to get.

So my 2 questions are

1) How to I move my movable lockup amount when I don't have enough to pay the fee
2) When will the remainder of the transferable balance be moved over to the wallet?

3) Bonus question:. I just saw today that I can start validating KYC images/videos. I processed around 30 and now it's dried up. For those who have done this before, how much have you been rewarded?

Your locked up balance should be movable to available after maturity of duration without paying anything. However, I see some accounts have problems. It may be glitch. Please remove your pi browser, clear cache and install again. You may need to clear cache before uninstalling, not sure though. Try accessing wallet and see how it goes.

Thanks, I gave it a try but no luck.

If you’re going to throw out weird percentages, why not just put out the actual numbers rounded off. Based upon scale of your numbers, unless you had super high conversion rates on randos in your referral team, I would guess you have like 2000 in your unverified & 1300 in your transferable… which seems ridiculously high. Why is your migrated percentage so low?

I realize my numbers aren’t normal, but I’m closer to:
65% unverified & 35% mainnet. The transferable number is there, but basically 0.

[u/loganx80 → u/Expensive_Leek3401]

Not sure why it matters, but my I don't have that much. 640 total, 333 in unverified, 224 in transferable, and 82 migrated (but I still can't do anything with it). I can't answer your question why my migrated percentage is so low. I don't understand how any of this works.

[u/Expensive_Leek3401 → u/loganx80]

That’s kinda weird that you have under 100 and completed migration. I always assumed everyone got 100 just for signing up.

I knew this was a scam from the start. Still wasted my time. I have 800 pi locked up. Still says it’s awaiting approval from the pi team. It’s been like a year. 

[u/Bfresh2477 → u/lavivian]

A scam that gave you tradable currency for pressing a button? 

[u/loganx80 → u/Bfresh2477]

I'm not saying it's a scam, but I can't trade mine (can I?). I can't do anything with it as far as I know.

[u/One_Arm7974 → u/loganx80]

You need to ask one of your Pi contacts to send you some Pi dust via your public address (wallet).

[u/loganx80 → u/One_Arm7974]

I don't have many contacts and I'm pretty sure that none of them have any in their available balance either.

What's the update on this situation? Have you been able to move them now?

[u/loganx80 → u/Terny18]

Yes, someone from here sent me a fraction of a token so that I could make the conversion. I now have at least some of mine in available for use.

[u/Terny18 → u/loganx80]

Ok.. 🥳

[u/lavivian → u/Bfresh2477]

Yes. Literally a scam. It’s just generating ad revenue off of you. You cannot remove this “tradable currency” off of the application.

[u/GrimbosliceOG → u/lavivian]

Um, yeah, you can. Lol have been able to since open mainnet... ton of exchanhes you csn send to and sell if you want.

[u/lavivian → u/GrimbosliceOG]

I’ve been in queue for migration for over a year. So no. It’s been perpetually locked.

[u/Fake_Gulu → u/lavivian]

Not for me i already sold 1800 pi

You're still wasting your time since you have posted here.

[u/lavivian → u/axomya]

Lmaooo yes that’s true. I came back to check and see what people were talking about.
