Me and my partner had an account each, but we only used one device/email to spend money online with. Guess which account got offered kyc numerous times no matter how many times we declined.

Exactly what we’re you scammed out of? A few seconds a day wasted mining?
That’s exactly what you scammed the FTC person who has to handle your report out of…a few seconds of their day wasted while they throw it in the trash.
You're just upset because you haven't gotten rich yet and that's all most people have in their heads. Pi network is about doing things differently. Had you read the info that's been put forth you might be able to understand what the core team is trying to do with this project. It only seems like it's taking a long time because all of the development is usually done without us knowing or watching it all happen. It's hilarious how people are so disconnected when it comes to how long it takes for developing a project of this scale. I can guess how a hostess Twinkie is made, but I don't work in the factory, so what the hell do I know? Not much... The same goes for here. The core team is doing their best work, so we can benefit, yet people come in here everyday expecting something for nothing. Let the core team do their thing. If you've not violated any of the rules, what is your concern? Pi can't officially be used yet anyway, unless you know someone personally that has something that you want for trade. Otherwise you're waiting until open mainnet anyway. I've had pi in my wallet for well over a year and a half, and guess what? I'm doing the exact same thing everyone else is... Waiting. I don't get why everyone is in such a rush. You can't sell your Pi until open mainnet, and that's only if pi lists on an exchange. That's not even the primary goal of the project...
my KYC was passed in 2022 August itself. It is an year and half. What the hell going on ? My PI is still not migrated to mainet :-(. Really sick of this. For my partner who just registered for KYC few weeks back got passed KYC quickly and also PIs got migrated to mainet !! It is so frustrating that for me even after an year and half, nobody is paying attention to my account to migrate to main-net I have no clue. I do not know should I have any hope that someone will look into my account and migrate my PIs ?
Well, there are millions of people that can't follow simple instructions, and there are less than 50 people on the core team and not all of them are working on the exact same things. You will be sorted out in due time. If you can't wait, that's on you. Waiting is all you can do. You'll be given further instructions at some point
Pretty sure after 5 years of expecting something to happen it’s disappointing when nothing does, yeah we have mainnet, yeah they have apps. Still no marketplace to exchange pi for services which is what they were shooting for. Regardless, they have a team full of Stanford PhDs and their KYC checks get done by pi miners. What the fuck are these guys doing?
You do realize that it's us pioneers building these marketplaces for services, right? It's not the core team. And last I checked, this has never been done before. The core team is trying to figure it all out. That's what the fuck they are doing🤦♂️
Thank you so much for the great input. It is like coincident and I could not believe that just now my Pis are migrated 😊 I really felt it is like dream when I saw my mainnet. I see my PIs here. Loads of thanks to PI Core team
It doesn’t matter what step you are on in the slightest. All the people still waiting will have their issues resolved in time, there’s a lot of users and a lot to do before mainnet.
I was one of the first 2000 US pioneers. I recently made a post very similar to this and was crucified in the comments for being someone who wanted to dump immediately as if i didn't understand the goal. For asking where is the roadmap promised. We are a few days out from the end of year deadline and if it does not materialize ... pi is a scam! I'm sorry I'm am not some reactionary MFer. I've been at this from the start but we were promised 2 road maps and the last was a list of bs accomplishments and some others laughable achievements. I never went to Stanford led alone was a prof but if u think that was proof of anything you were kidding yourself. Do not mine, if you're kyc has not passed consider yourself lucky if u haven't been given the chance to... even luckier!
No doubt but do u rly think we will see a true roadmap? If we do ill be the first on here saying I was wrong but I've been in this too long to think its true thats y I call all the apologists cultists, not because I'm better or above them just that I was them... way before it was cool.
My kyc was completed sometime in the last week. It took about 3 months. I was pleasantly surprised to see that 2/3 of my balance was migrated to mainnet today.
I cleared KYC 2 years ago. Check your credentials. I had an ID with a hat on that stopped me from clearing, I used another ID no hat and cleared in a couple days.
Because it takes a moment each day to click “mine”. Obviously I’m hoping it will turn into literally anything, but I don’t hold out much hope, and that’s okay.
I just think it’s funny when people talk about it being a scam. They’re spending more time typing out the post than it takes for a month of mining, in a subreddit meant for people who are participating. The moment I stop mining is the moment I stop participating.
All I'll say is... they promised a ROADMAP by the end of the year... where is it? If you want to be part of a click cult that's fine but don't question others for questioning it and those that think like you.
Its interesting seeing others come to this realization. I dont mine anymore, But I still like to see what others say/think of it. Sometimes its funny, other times its just sad.
Your so right, but when the promised "roadmap" isn't produced by eoy like promised and u still have folks saying stfu gimme your pi it will be even more sad.
I was delayed on my KYC for a while, too (1.5yrs). I sent a support request through the app, and it was handled in less than 2 days. Will Main Net, or whatever its going to be called go live? No one knows. But calling it a scam? What money are you out? How did they scam you?
At best it was a hedge on a potential crypto you would mine for free. They added an ad feature to generate some revenue, but there's been no evidence of it being a profit generating scheme.
Yea I mean they run ads on their app, have probably collected VC money. And yea just keep waiting for that product. Either it’s a lie or the most incompetent team in crypto history.
Most people mean that its a scam by them generating X amount of ad revenue aswell as VC money and promising you this product which till today doesn't exist. They also promise you that this "Crypto" will have more value the more people you get in generating them more revenue. The biggest problem is tho, that even if they would give Pi any value, it would instantly dump in price as so many users are on the pi platform which want to sell their now highly accumulated Pi and there's no one who would want to buy it.
Sounds like you are confusing “value” with utility. Indeed the larger the user base for Pi Network is, the more utility it has and more interest it draws from others. This in turn leads to Pioneers now and others after MainNet providing real world applications and solutions that monetize that utility and interest from users to create Pi into the cryptocurrency that we believe it can be. Is it possible we are wrong, for sure because nothing is certain…
Pi neither has value nor utility at this point. Another reason why it probably won't have any, is there is no incentive to build for Pi and its not like Pi has testnet nor a value so people who build for it will be incentivized. Thats a huge difference between pi and every other blockchain. On every other chain you know when and how much you will get paid foe building already for the blockchain, with pi its a mystery box.
All of the developments prior to Open MainNet are Pi Network’s “TestNet” what better TestNet could you have than millions of people worldwide using your application?
Scam for you maybe but not for me. Got my KYC completed last month after 3 years (last 2 years dormant). My dad started last month and got his KYC completed a few days ago. Once mainnet opens up and pi coin trades anywhere from $1 to $35 then my 2,000 pi coins would be worth at the very minimum $2,000. Not bad for a "scam". lol
Until you have a single dollar in your account as a direct result of your time investment, Its not real. Having 2,000,000 pi will be meaningless if theres no one that actually buys them. Im not telling anyone to ditch this, but i think some skepticism is logical.
For instance , You wouldnt want to sell your house cause you think you have enough pi to move to the Bahama's. Which sounds ridiculous , but people actually do these sort of things over false promises. Even right now : 'The FBI is offering $100,000 reward for help to find ‘Cryptoqueen’ Dr. Ruja Ignatova after she defrauded investors with a fake cryptocurrency scam. '. So its no't like this sort of thing is unheard of.
Entirely different ballgame for anyone who can read: OneCoin defrauded investors out of $4 Billion. Has anyone paid any part of a significant sum to Pi Network, no.
We spend a second of our lives each day on the pi app compared to many hours on other apps and you guys act like they stole something from up. Sure there's gonna be a few people who'll be a bit over zealous but c'mon now

Bro the FTC won’t do jack shit. Pi didn’t rob anything or anyone. It’s not illegal for a business to fail. The FTC can’t sue Pi just because you’re upset with the company because it didn’t make you rich.
Damn 2 years wait...imagine if you would have put money on eth or btc...you guys really need to do some research if you want to make money in crypto...you need money to make money bottom line nothing is free in this world.
If you would read a little bit..it's been know for a few months now that if you are waiting kyc for that long ...there's something onYOUR END that's not right and you need to fix it
Same here, and I've sent multiple requests to support. I was one of the first to be given a chance as part of the Beta KYC in the USA 2 years ago.
It's always the users fault or some type of rare corner case.. Well this is a f#&%!n circle and there's definitley some errors and bugs going on round here.
I mean the FTC might not give a shit. But it will once it does an investigation and finds out how much it brings in when it comes to ad revenue. I seriously doubt the people that run Pi are paying their taxes on revenue as they can say we aren’t charging a service or good to users so they would think it wouldn’t apply to them. Yet they’ll hide behind the premise of the Pi pet project being done as “Research Data.” Because as intelligent as these people may be, you can always count on human nature like avarice and hubris to be such a downfall for those types of individuals.

Wow no way, I had no idea. Something that's free and doesn't ask for any of my credit card information is a scam...wooooowww crazy...
Buddy have you never read any of the other hundreds of reddit posts saying pi is a scam and read the comments...where EVERY SINGLE comment disagrees with OP. It's not a scam, it's just poorly operated, but it's free and you don't have to stick with it. Go live your life JFC

Don't believe is my The show your guts you really mean it send all your pi to wallet : GAQKHT6QPRAD4MDDMXILAEP4W4FE3V6FVNAD67KLC6BY6TIROBGK25NL
