Just got asked about the Pi KYC process again, so let me break down what's actually involved here. If you're holding mined Pi and want to move it around, you'll need to go through their verification system first.

Basically, Pi KYC is how they confirm you're actually you before letting coins move off the network. Pretty standard stuff in the crypto space honestly. The whole thing involves identity verification - they want your legal name, government ID, and a live selfie to match everything up.

Here's how it actually plays out. First thing is you need to get selected. Pi Network rolls out KYC access in waves, so you'll see a notification pop up in the app when it's your turn. If you're not seeing it yet, keep an eye on the Mainnet Checklist section in the app.

Once you're invited, you'll need to grab the Pi KYC app through their browser. Log in with your account and open it from there. Then comes the document prep - grab a valid ID. Could be a passport, national ID card, driver's license, whatever you've got. Just make sure the name matches exactly what's on your Pi account and the ID isn't expired or damaged.

The actual submission is pretty straightforward. You're entering your full legal name, date of birth, country, and ID number. Then you upload clear photos of both sides of your ID - no glare, no blur, needs to be readable. After that comes the facial recognition part. They'll have you take a live selfie and follow some basic instructions, like looking left and right or blinking. Just do it in decent lighting and you should be fine.

Once everything's submitted, it goes through both AI and human verification. This part takes time - could be hours, could be a few days. You'll get notified in the app when you're approved. After that, your mined Pi becomes eligible for actual Mainnet transfers.

The whole Pi KYC verification thing is pretty necessary if you want to do anything with your coins beyond just holding them. Worth getting through sooner rather than later if you're serious about the project.
