From the Pi Coin website:
βWhen a node is selected by the Core Team, theyβll need to pass KYC to proceed to serve as a node on Testnetβ¦β
Respectfully thatβs going to be a hard pass for me.
I understand that the boat for small scale mining has long passed on Bitcoin but thereβs a specific reason why Hashrate is high, it MUST be hard to mine a block.
Plus Iβm seeing all this consensus quorum algorithms that I wouldnβt trust to hold. It really misses the point of mining completely.
I prefer to run a Bitcoin node and save (not invest) the product of my labor in Bitcoin for the long term, going on 4 years now.
