thank you for the research and insights here. it was an hour-well spent reading everything.
hopefully, this project will not progress and if they DO, i hope that those bad allegations will not harm those million users
Could you explain exactly which accusations are you talking about?
From what I've read in this thread, someone has a problem against the Pi Network project because they misusing the word "mining", because their application doesn't really mine anything. They should use the word "faucet" for that, and that would be fine.
In my opinion, this is an interesting marketing project and the only thing users risk is spending a few seconds a day refreshing the application.
i know that several apps do ask permissions to your personal details. but I dont see the necessity of it in the Pi app. maybe its just me being paranoid about it, knowing that most apps that ive used have even photos of me.
alright, il be honest, I still have a shallow knowledge about crypto in general, on how it works. I just dont want for bad things to happen.

People should be thankful when they see people giving them the insights that they should just stop hoping for this app and project. They've been too long in all implementations and bringing hype to this project lately. But they cannot push themselves to exchanges.
The devs have already made money from it while what they're boasting of 22 million users, they've taken advantage of those people that are only hoping that they'll get some profit out of it but they're all hoping through empty promises.
Remember in 2009, nobody believed in bitcoin, Infact, no body believed that bitcoin will be this big today, 98 out of 100 called/believed it was a scam, even those who owned it then didn't believe it would be this big, if they did, most wouldnt dash it out for free, most would be more careful not to loose their keys and loose access to their coins, most wouldnt sell it at a laughable cheap price to come back regretting today, the guy who bought 2 pizza with 10,000 btc wouldnt have, bitcoin would even be more expensive today if those from 2009 really believed it would be this big.
What am I trying to say?
Everything has a beginning and in the beginning, it's alright to doubt but as we doubt, we should try not to make the same mistake which those who had a chance at bitcoin in 2009 made, it doesn't cost anything to hold some PI coins just incase it turns out we all are wrong in our assumptions of it likely being a scam, I hold some PI, not because I believe in it, but because I don't want to loose out just incase it turns out a big and legit project.
My 2 cent.
honestly ive been planning setup a throwaway phone with a Pi app only installed with VPN, or if it possible to run it into a raspberry pi, sorry I still dont have the idea on how it will work
