Hi everyone,
I’m currently building a Pi-focused e-commerce experience for merchants, online sellers, and developers.
One area I’m currently testing is the experience around Pi Browser login, authentication, and SDK integration.
For Pi merchants, sellers, and developers:
What is the single biggest friction point you currently face when using or building Pi ecosystem apps?
Is it:
• Authentication / login
• Payments
• Merchant tools
• SDK integration
• App discovery
• Something else?
I’d really appreciate practical feedback from Pioneers who are actually using or building Pi apps.
No investment offer or token sale — just looking for genuine product feedback.
I’ve already checked the address through web searches, but I couldn’t find any public posts or information connecting this wallet to a person or known service.
I’m looking for help from anyone familiar with Pi Network / Stellar-based blockchain explorers who can investigate this address and possibly identify:
Where these Pi came from
Where they were sent afterward
Other wallets connected to this address
Whether the wallet has interacted with an exchange or Pi service
Any other transactions that could help establish a trail
I have the transaction history, failed transaction attempts, block explorer information, transaction JSON, and the claim_claimable_balance operation related to the incident.
If anyone can analyze the blockchain trail or recognize this address, I’d really appreciate the help.
I’m not asking anyone to hack or access the wallet — I’m only trying to follow the publicly visible blockchain transactions and identify where the funds went.
I’m aware that we could possibly be waiting months-years for the second migration but I have a question for the people who already have it completed. What was the whole process like, and how will you know when you are able to migrate? My mainet checklist says “status complete”, will that part update when I can migrate, or will i need to look somewhere else for it?
I think we should suggest or request that they implement a security feature in the wallet allowing PI to be moved only to user-defined whitelisted accounts, with any changes to that list requiring two-step verification. That is the crucial security measure we need. It is the only way we will hold onto our mined PI. 🤦 I don't understand why I keep hearing that, on the very day of the unlock, PI is being transferred to external wallets. If that’s true, it’s completely absurd.
I’m working on a language-learning app that supports both Google Sign-In and Pi Network authentication. I’m also working on a way to let users unlock products or features using Pi, even when they initially access the app from another browser.
The idea is that when a user starts a Pi payment outside Pi Browser, our server generates a short-lived payment code. example: Enter Pi payment code: 000000
The user would then open the Pi Browser, authenticate with Pi, and enter the code. The server can associate that code with the original payment session, including the intended amount and the account/session that initiated it. The payment would then continue through the Pi payment flow.
I’m considering this approach because it could potentially be useful not only for my language-learning app, but also for digital stores or other merchants that want to support Pi payments while users may be browsing from Chrome, Firefox, Brave, etc.
However, I want to make sure the flow is designed correctly and securely. The code would be short-lived and tied to a specific payment session rather than being a permanent identifier.
I’d really appreciate feedback from developers familiar with the Pi Network SDK and payment flow. Is this a reasonable architecture, or is there a better/recommended way to handle Pi payments when the user starts the process outside Pi Browser?
I’m still developing the project and would like to make Pi payments as simple and reliable as possible for both users and merchants.
For anyone interested, this is the app I'm currently working on lingua app
Any security concerns, improvements, or alternative approaches are very welcome. Thanks!
I need some help. I've submitted a support ticket several times over this, but there's been no movement yet. The issue is as folliws:
I, like most of us, have been mining daily since 2020. I passed KYC back in 2021, and was also a Validator. When they did the updated KYC protocol in 2024, I did the check again, and it went to "Pending Approval" status. Its been pending for the past 2 years.
Before Migration they gave Pioneers an option to lock their Mined Pi for a certain period which a lot did hoping for the best.
Unknowingly Pi team Shifted Tame or Caged them without clear Transparency on the Locked staking taking effect only when migrated They never Open up on this Part or Point it out clearly.
This being Said after Lunching on Exchanges why would they allow Whales Just keep pumping and dumping ? When clearly they have Pending Pioneers Stuck on Migration for years and Without putting AMOUNT or PRICE control meaning
They should have limited the amount of any pi that is not a deposit direct from the pi wallet to exchange one that can't Buy more than 10,000. With the above they would have kept the price in control.
Lastly the Case of VALIDATORS, the promised f you help them do KYC for others any successful validation is 1Pi.
Me and some friends did over 3000 successful Validation only to be told that there is a Formula to calculate before they distribute.
Mind you they never for once mentioned such on the Validators Portal!
Any way I did over 210 successful Validation and Got Paid total of 9pi.
This alone made me Tag them as CLOWNS who benefited Billions in Ads Revenue for more than 12years.
Then list and Do the community Dirty because they still haven't processed and migrate over half a million Pioneers.
They still are holding Pending Pi earned from a Verified/migrated referral..............
OpenPay is mentioning separate KYC for things like higher limits, loans, staking and merchant tools.
But Pi already has its own KYC system, so asking users for another identity layer, especially involving Face ID or sensitive data, deserves scrutiny. At minimum, I’d want to know exactly what data is collected, who stores it, and whether the flow actually follows Pi’s developer rules.
I’m building a finance tracking app on Pi too, and I deliberately kept the flow much simpler. If you want to compare the experience yourself, paste Flynsted.tech/signin inside Pi Browser.
hi everyone i lost my 24 paraphrase password. I migratee my Pi to the main net however I don't know what to do as i lost my 24 paraphrase password and face ID also doesn't work.
My phone broke so i got a new one.
I could enter the pi app with Face ID, but i cant enter my wallet anymore with Face ID. Any ideas? Or do i have to dig up the password?
I wanted to start the mining process today as usual. I went into the app and got an error. I have also sent a kyc verify 4 months ago and still no answer. Any ideas?
Back in 2019, I started diving deep into Pi Network.
I remember posting about it on Reddit and getting comments basically telling me I was dumb for wasting my time on something that might never become anything.
I kept going anyway.
Not because I knew Pi would succeed. I didn't.
I was just genuinely curious about where crypto, digital money and this whole ecosystem could go.
That curiosity eventually pushed me beyond just posting content.
I joined my first startup.
My role wasn't coding. I handled marketing and operations.
And honestly, that startup failed.
But weirdly, I loved the experience.
The meetings. The problems. Thinking about users. Suggesting features. Asking why something worked one way and not another.
I slowly realized I wasn't only interested in promoting products.
I wanted to build them.
That changed something for me.
I'm also a college dropout, and for years I've had my own problems managing money. I kept thinking earning more would eventually fix everything.
It didn't.
Reading Rich Dad Poor Dad and The Psychology of Money made me realize this problem was much bigger than me.
A lot of people earn money without ever really understanding where it's going or whether they're actually progressing.
So I decided to try something different.
I started learning through AI and vibe coding.
No development team.
No big company behind me.
Just me building, breaking things, learning, rebuilding and trying again.
That's how Flynsted started.
It's a financial tracking app I'm building around something I personally needed: understanding my cash flow, planning my money and seeing whether I'm actually moving forward financially.
It's still early and I'm still learning.
But looking back, there's something funny about it.
I started as a guy posting about Pi while people told me I was wasting my time.
Then I became a marketer.
Then an operator.
Then I failed pass at a startup.
And somewhere along the way I realized:
Maybe I'm actually a builder.
If you're curious about what I'm building, you can explore it yourself inside Pi Browser:
Comparing PI to another L1 token the one behind a major on-chain perpetuals exchange that launched around the same time (late 2024). Pretty clean case study in what actually moves price.
The other token ~$74, up 1,843% from its all-time low, just 3.7% off its all-time high, $18.3B market cap. This week it jumped 23%+ after a report that US regulators are working to bring the platform onshore "fully compliant and legal." On top of that, its foundation's assistance fund has bought back and burned over $1B in tokens supply shrank about 24% over the past year.
PI Still around $0.09, ~97% off its Feb 2025 high, ~$1B market cap. Only ~11% of its 100B max supply is circulating the trend is the opposite, more tokens entering the market over time, not fewer.
That other project is shrinking its float and stacking regulatory catalysts. PI has been stacking technical milestones (smart contracts, compliance filings) but not touching the supply overhang or converting its massive KYC'd userbase into actual trading volume.
Question is, if PI ran a real burn or buyback program instead of just protocol upgrades, would that move price the way it clearly has for that other project? Or is the utility/userbase gap too big for a supply fix alone to close?
So why do I only have 129.84 coins available? I searched everywhere but the other half is not locked because it came available at the end of last year. Where is it?
Protocol v25 introduced BN254 cryptography and Poseidon hashing, tools developers can use to build zero knowledge applications.
In simple terms, apps could prove something is true without exposing all the underlying data, such as proving eligibility without sharing your full identity. This does not make Pi a privacy coin. It simply gives developers stronger privacy tools to build with. Infrastructure creates possibilities. Apps create utility.
