Joining the Pi Network: How to Create Your Pi Account
The Pi Network is a newly emerged cryptocurrency project aiming to make crypto mining accessible to everyone. Well, Technically it has been 5 years since they introduce us Pi Network. However, I still had doubt so I didn't give it much thought. But finally last year Pi Network completed their open testnet and started enclosed mainnet testing. It looks promising, so I started to work on it again. And with it now you can easily mine Pi coin from your phone, all you need to do in check in once in a day. This guide will walk you through how to create your Pi Network account and getting started with mining.
Downloading the App
Before getting started, you need to download and install their "Pi Network" app. Keep it in mind that Pi Network and Pi Browser are different app (From same network) and has different purpose.
- App Store/Google Play: Search for "Pi Network" developed by SocialChain on the official app store for your device (iOS or Android).
- Pi Network Website: You can also download it from the button below for any device and I recommend it
Creating Your Account
After downloading the app, open it and choose your preferred signup method:
- Phone Number: Enter your phone number and verify it with a code sent via SMS. (If you are a resident of US or Canada, you should choose this method)
- Facebook (optional): Login with your Facebook account. (Recommend for non US, Canadian)
- Sign Up with Apple (iOS only):If you are an apple user then you can use Apple ID to create an account.
In the next step you need to choose a password and verify it by re-entering.
- First Name
- Last Name
- and a Username
In the last step you'll be asked to enter a Invitation Code. Here you can enter SohanRazzak
as your Invition Code and Submit or you can click No one invited me button.
Although entering an invitation code is optional, but entering one could help you both mine at better rate. Both of you will receive 1 pi coin and 25% boost. Also you can add your referrer to you security circle and get additional boost.
Congratulations! You've created your Pi Network account. Now, to start mining Pi, simply tap the lightning bolt button on the app's main screen. This process doesn't require extensive computing power from your phone and you should restart only once a day to accumulate Pi.
