We all know Pi mining rate dropped significantly a few days ago (0.0029 pi/hr default Mining rate). I see a majority of new ones mine at a meagre 0.01 pi/hr considering all bonus. Here's a few legit ways you can increase your Pi bonus and you don't even need to be an old pioneer for this (except the last one):
1. Security Circle Bonus: Depending on how many members you have in your security circle, you can get up to 100% bonus (maximum of five members). Adding more than five members to this circle won't increase your security circle bonus, however, do ensure that the five members you have are all KYC'd or have at least applied for KYC. Bonus from non-KYC'd guys won't be considered.
2. Commit to a lockup: Following the mainnet migration check, you'll be prompted to commit to a lockup. According to me and a good majority of pioneers, the ideal commitment parameters currently are a) locking 50% of the transferrable balance upon migrations; and b) Duration of three years. This configuration will give you a sweet 200% bonus and can increase based on how many days you've mined (Bonus = Proportion committed x Duration x Log(Number of days mined))
3. Referrals Bonus: I don't have to elaborate much here, but do ensure the referrals who are more active with their mining are all KYC'd or have at least applied for KYC. You don't have to worry about the KYC of ones who barely ever mine because the referrals' bonus from them will be insignificant.
4. Utility Bonus: Try to browse through Pi Browser ecosystem and Fireside ("Instagram" equivalent of Pi Browser). Depending on how much time you spend on Pi Browser surfing through its ecosystem apps, you can get utility bonus almost as high as 0.76X (This is equivalent to having three referrals in your network). I normally get around 0.3-0.4X for surfing Pi Browser for about an hour. However, I know guys who browse through Pi Browser for over five hours per day. They are the ones clocking an impressive 0.7-0.8X bonus.
5. Node Bonus: I know guys in my circle who barely ever bothered about referrals because node bonus is apparently where it's at. Depending on how long you've set up the node on your system, I've seen people clocking a sweet bonus 10-14X (almost equivalent to 40-56 referrals). However, do know that these are the guys who have run their PCs for almost two years straight 😅😅 24/7. I also have been running a node for about three weeks now and currently get around 1.75X bonus from the node alone.
However, I only run for around 16-18 hours per day. If you think that's too much, I came across a guy on Reddit who's getting a 26X bonus 🗿🗿 (equivalent to 104 referrals). He has run his node for nearly four years non-stop lol.
You can find detailed videos on how to set up a node; however, depending on how technical you can get, please ensure your WiFi router doesn't have CGNAT security (a good number of ISPs actually have this security) or else, you won't be able to establish "port forwarding" and your incoming connections will be zero, which means node bonus drops big time. I know guys who have run nodes for two months but only getting a lousy 0.75X bonus because their port forwarding doesn't work.
You may have to try a VPN service in order to establish it. Free options include Ngrok, but I can't tell how effective it is because I've only used it for three weeks, but it's the closest you can get to getting a free service for "port forwarding". If it works for me, I'll make a dedicated post next month how to set up Ngrok and port forwarding. Also remember, you only have to worry about port forwarding the ports 31401, 31402, and 31403. Others are meaningless at the moment, so don't bother about them.
Also, please only use a spare laptop/PC. The requirement isn't intensive at all but don't just abuse your system for hours or even days at a go, especially considering we have summers approaching soon enough and the last thing you want is your system to undergo a meltdown. I run the node on my laptop for around 15-16 hours on battery saver mode (CPU usage less than 30%) and then give it a break for anywhere between four to six hours.
The mining rate will only lower further in coming months as the demand for Pi builds up, so depending on what potential you see in this project, try to follow these steps religiously, and you'll see a decent bonus. For an average guy with five members in security circle and two members mining per day, you can get around 0.04 pi/hr with a bit of utility and node bonus.
VERY IMPORTANT: The bonus accrued from above methods won't be immediately updated to your transferrable balance. They go to "unverified balance", which will soon be credited to your "transferrable balance" when the core team implements the mechanism for the same.

If you're interested in Pi, I found another early-stage mobile-mining project called "Delta". It's built on the ICP protocol and is backed by Dfinity. You can download the apk from the website "delta.kim" (Just Google search "delta.kim"). Use my referral DID: D9C1NK1C7H0C4 for a 33% mining boost. They currently have over 50K users (20K achieved in last week alone).
You can also check out another project called BlockDAG (Referral Code: A4qlM83a), which I find a bit more promising and developed over Delta as they have already fundraised around $200Mn in pre-sales, but they're nowhere near as early-stage as Delta is, so the mining rate isn't as good. You can download the BlockDag 1X Miner apk through their website "blockdag.network".
