Pi Network has implemented a new video-based login protocol for users in China, while global users are reporting issues following the recent 1.41.0 app update. These developments have led to increasing concerns about the transparency and stability of the platform.

Pi Network Launches Mandatory Video for Chinese Users

The Pi Core Team has introduced a mandatory video announcement that plays when users in China log into the app. The video addresses three main concerns in the Chinese Pi community:

  • Delays in the migration process: Explaining why the transition to the mainnet is slower in China.

  • Security threat: Alerting users about illegal activities such as 'swiping numbers'.

  • Wallet safety: Advising users to be cautious of scams targeting Pi wallets.

No Official Representation in China

The Pi Team has clarified that no individual or organization is authorized to represent Pi Network in China. All official support and updates must be accessed through verified Pi Network channels.

Pi Network App 1.41.0 Causing Global Technical Issues

After the release of version 1.41.0 on May 9, users worldwide reported multiple issues, including:

  • Two-factor authentication error

  • Lack of Pi balance

  • Users' reluctance to install the new version

Pi Network has not yet issued an official statement addressing these concerns.

Migration Still Stuck at Step 9 for Many Users

A large number of users report that their migration process is stuck at Step 9, even after completing identity verification and agreeing to the lock conditions.

At the same time, other users are migrating without any issues. This inconsistent experience has raised concerns about the fairness and reliability of the entire migration system.

Pi Coin Market Update

Despite long-term decline, the Pi coin has shown slight recovery in the short term:

  • 30-day performance: down 33.6%

  • 7-day performance: down 6.7%

  • Change 24 hours: increase 5.2%

  • Change 1 hour: increase 0.3%

  • Current price: $0.5873

Conclusion

The Pi Network community continues to face technical and procedural challenges. With new login requirements in China and unresolved issues related to the application, users are calling for the Pi Core Team to clarify and respond better.
