Hey guys, has anyone already passed the Pi KYC? I’ve been waiting for the result for a month and a half, and for many people in the Nigerian community it’s even longer. It seems there aren’t enough validators. In short, the Pi KYC process itself takes about 5–10 minutes, but then problems start. The main thing is to meet the criteria: you must be 18+, you need a government-issued document (—passport is better; for Nigerians, NIN) works—your face must be clear for the liveness check, and you must mine Pi for at least 30 days. It costs 1 Pi coin.

The Pi KYC procedure is as follows: download the Pi Browser, go to Mainnet, complete all tasks in the checklist, and then the KYC tab opens. Choose your country and document type, take a photo from the front and back, fill out the form with your personal information, and pass the liveness check. It all sounds simple, but it’s reviewed by at least two validators from your country—and that’s where it starts. Some people wait a week, others wait months. You can check the status in your profile or in the Mainnet чеклисте—the green checkmark means it was approved.

I wonder why some people take so long. Maybe the data doesn’t match the document, or the queue is just really big?
