The Pi Network has rolled out a new mandatory video login protocol for users in China, while global users report issues following the recent app update to version 1.41.0.
Introduction of Video Message for Chinese Users
The Pi Core Team has introduced a mandatory video message that plays when users in China log into the app. This video addresses three major concerns in the Chinese Pi community:
* **Migration Delays:** It explains why the transition to mainnet has been slower in China. * **Security Threats:** It warns users against illegal actions like "swiping numbers." * **Wallet Safety:** It advises users to be cautious of scams targeting Pi wallets.
Problems with App 1.41.0
Following the release of version 1.41.0 on May 9, users around the world have reported multiple problems, including:
* Two-factor authentication failures * Missing Pi balances * Users' reluctance to install the new version.
The Pi Network has yet to release an official statement addressing these concerns.
Migration Status and Pi Coin Market Update
A significant number of users report that their migration process is stuck at Step 9, even after completing identity verification and agreeing to lock-up conditions. At the same time, other users are migrating without issues, raising concerns about the fairness and reliability of the overall migration system.
Despite long-term declines, Pi coin has shown minor short-term recovery:
* **30-day performance:** down 33.6% * **7-day performance:** down 6.7% * **24-hour change:** up 5.2% * **1-hour change:** up 0.3% * **Current price:** $0.5873.
The Pi Network community continues to face technical and procedural challenges. With a new video login requirement in China and unresolved app-related issues, users are calling for greater clarity and responsiveness from the Pi Core Team.
