The Trust Crisis With Pi Network: Mandatory Video, Technical Errors, and The Silence From The Core Team

Pi Network has launched a new video-based log in protocol for users in China, while global users report issues following the recent app update 1.41.0. These developments have led to growing 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 in to the app. The video addresses three main concerns in the Chinese Pi community: Delays in the migration process: Explain the reasons why the transition to the mainnet is slower in China. Security threats: Warn users about illegal activities such as "swiping numbers". Wallet safety: Advise users to be cautious of scams targeting Pi wallets. No Official Representative in China The Pi Group has clarified that no individual or organization is authorized to represent Pi Network in China. All support and official updates must be accessed through the verified Pi Network channels. Pi Network Application 1.41.0 Causes Global Technical Issues After the release of version 1.41.0 on May 9, users around the world reported several issues, including: Two-factor authentication error Insufficient Pi balance User reluctance to install the new version Pi Network has not yet made an official statement addressing these concerns. Moving Still Stuck at Step 9 for Many Users A large number of users report that their migration process gets stuck at Step 9, even after completing identity verification and agreeing to the lock conditions. At the same time, other users are moving without any issues. This inconsistent experience has raised concerns about the fairness and reliability of the entire movement system.
