How do I mine Pi
How do I mine Pi?
Press the mining button (or lightning icon) to start a 24-hour mining session. After the 24-session is over, you may press the mining button to start a new mining session.
Why isn’t my Pi increasing?
You can see a counter at the top of your app screen with your balance of Pi, which you will see increase if you are presently mining.
The lightning button will show your mining rate, which will change depending on the number of active miners on your earning team. The lightning button will be green when you are presently mining.
Why has my Pi balance decreased?
A Pi balance may decrease if you sign out of the app before the end of the 24-hour mining session. In other words, you may lose the Pi that was mined from the beginning of the mining period to the time you signed out. There should be a warning message before you sign out. The best time to sign out of the app is after the 24-hour missing session, so that you don’t lose what you have mined for the day.
Another reason could be that you may be in temporary Lite Mode which shows you the balance at your last tap on the lightning button when the mining session starts, making it look like a decrease in your total Pi. Your Pi balance is safe and will be updated when the app returns to full mode.
If this does not explain why you may have seen a reduction in your Pi balance, please submit a support request.
If you sign out of the app before the end of your mining cycle, you will lose the Pi earned during that mining cycle. If you need to sign out, the best time would be after your mining cycle.
When I signed in, my Pi balance was 0. What happened?
It’s likely that you created a new account, rather than signing into your original account. Please read the related article How to sign in - I forgot how I signed up.
