A Lesson Learned: Understanding PI Wallet Migration Issues

Recently, I found myself mistakenly blaming the #PI Core Team for my wallet showing zero balance, despite migrating 812 PI. However, after intensive checking, I discovered that the issue was my own misunderstanding rather than a system flaw.

🔎 What Actually Happened?

I confirmed a wallet address during the mainnet checklist.

Later, I lost my 24-word passphrase and unknowingly created a new wallet during the KYC process.

Since I didn’t update my mainnet checklist, my original wallet remained linked.

PI migration was completed successfully, but the funds were sent to my first wallet, which I no longer had access to.

I assumed the old wallet would be erased automatically, which wasn’t the case.

📢 Key Takeaways for Others Facing the Same Issue:
✅ Check your wallet address before migration.
✅ If your balance is missing, verify which wallet was linked during migration.
✅ If you created a new wallet, go to the checklist and confirm it with your 24-word passphrase.
✅ Understand that PI transfers only occur to the originally confirmed wallet unless changed before migration.

⚠️ For Unfortunate Cases Like Mine:

If you no longer have access to the original wallet, your migrated PI is locked there.

You cannot retrieve lost passphrases, so be extra careful when setting up your wallet.

Moving forward, double-check everything before making changes.

🙏 Final Thoughts:
I appreciate the PI Core Team for delivering PI as a real asset rather than a scam. This experience highlights the importance of education and awareness in the PI Network journey.
