PI硬幣：解剖移動加密礦山的虛假主張

這篇文章剖析了真實的採礦，為什麼PI Coin的方法不採礦以及如何利用消費者對區塊鏈技術的誤解。

Launched in 2019 by a group of Stanford PhDs, Pi Coin set out to make cryptocurrency mining accessible to everyone with just a mobile phone. While Pi Network boasts over 50 million subscribers as of February 2025, its closed mainnet prevents its token from being openly traded on most exchanges.

Pi Coin於2019年由一群斯坦福大學（Stanford Phds）推出，著手將僅手機使用的每個人都可以使用加密貨幣開採。截至2025年2月，PI Network擁有超過5000萬用戶，但其關閉的主網可防止其令牌在大多數交易所中公開交易。

Pi Network positions itself as a groundbreaking method for regular users to mine crypto, but its approach raises major questions about what “mining” really entails. This article dissects true mining, why Pi Coin’s method isn’t mining, and how it capitalizes on consumers’ misperceptions of blockchain technology.

PI網絡將自己定位為普通用戶開採加密貨幣的一種開創性方法，但其方法提出了有關“採礦”真正需要什麼的重大疑問。本文剖析了真正的採礦，為什麼PI Coin的方法不採礦以及如何利用消費者對區塊鏈技術的誤解。

How Real Crypto Mining Works

真正的加密礦業如何有效

Contrary to clicking a button, mining cryptocurrencies is not easy. It involves complex mathematical computations requiring massive processing power to validate transactions and secure the blockchain.

與單擊按鈕相反，採礦加密貨幣並不容易。它涉及復雜的數學計算，需要大量的處理能力來驗證交易並確保區塊鏈。

1. The BackBone of True Mining: Proof of Work

1。真正採礦的骨幹：工作證明

Traditional mining employs Proof of Work (PoW), where miners solve cryptographic problems using either specialized ASIC processors or powerful graphics cards (GPUs).

傳統採礦採用工作證明（POW），礦工使用專業的ASIC處理器或功能強大的圖形卡（GPU）解決了加密問題。

For example, Bitcoin miners need equipment capable of computing at 150 terahashes per second (TH/s), given its high mining difficulty. The entire network hashrate of Bitcoin by 2025 is estimated to be 200 exahashes per second (EH/s)—an unimaginable level of computational capability unmatched by any mobile phone. Before transitioning to Proof of Stake, Ethereum's daily consumption of 300 megawatts of electricity showed how energy-intensive real mining is.

例如，鑑於其高采礦難度，比特幣礦工需要能夠以每秒150台（TH/S）計算的設備。到2025年，比特幣的整個網絡載岩估計為每秒200張（EH/s） - 任何手機都無法比擬的計算能力水平。在過渡到股份證明之前，以太坊的每日消費300兆瓦的電力表明了能源密集型的真實採礦的程度。

2. Why Phones Cannot Mine Digital Currency

2。為什麼手機不能開採數字貨幣

A simple test run in 2024 comparing a Bitcoin ASIC miner against Pi Network’s software running on a premium smartphone showed Pi’s program reportedly using just 0.001% of the processing power and energy consumed by one Bitcoin mining unit. This demonstrates that Pi Network is not performing any actual mining.

在2024年進行了簡單的測試，將比特幣ASIC礦工與PI Network在高級智能手機上運行的軟件進行了比較，顯示PI的程序僅使用了一個比特幣挖掘單元消耗的處理能力和能源的0.001％ 。這表明PI網絡沒有執行任何實際採礦。

A Raspberry Pi, a low-power computer sometimes used in experiments, was also shown to be 99.99% inefficient in mining Bitcoin, indicating that even small computers struggle with real mining, let alone mobile phones.

Raspberry Pi是一款有時用於實驗的低功耗計算機，在採礦比特幣的效率低99.99％，這表明即使是小型計算機也與實際採礦相處，更不用說手機了。

Debunking Pi Coin’s Mining Claims

揭穿Pi Coin的採礦主張

Despite Pi Network billing itself as a distributed mining network, it falls short even in the most basic requirements for Bitcoin mining.

儘管PI網絡將自己作為分佈式挖掘網絡計費，但即使在比特幣採礦的最基本要求中，它也差不多。

1. Clicking a Button is Not Mining

1。單擊一個按鈕不是挖掘

Pi Coin users are required to log in daily and press a button to “mine” coins. However, unlike Bitcoin miners, these users are neither confirming transactions nor solving cryptographic puzzles. Instead, individuals receive coins according to a pre-defined incentive scheme linked to referrals. Pi’s model thus operates more in line with a marketing scheme than a mining operation.

PI硬幣用戶必須每天登錄並按下按鈕“我的”硬幣。但是，與比特幣礦工不同，這些用戶既沒有確認交易也不解決加密難題。取而代之的是，個人會根據與推薦鏈接的預定義激勵計劃接收硬幣。因此，PI的模型與營銷計劃更一致，而不是採礦業務。

In a 2024 survey by a tech blog, 80% of Pi Coin users admitted to having no technical knowledge about mining. This suggests that Pi Network is capitalizing on people's ignorance to build a large user base.

在技​​術博客的2024年調查中，有80％的PI硬幣用戶承認沒有有關採礦的技術知識。這表明PI網絡正在利用人們的無知來建立大型用戶群。

2. Neither Proof of Stake nor Proof of Work

2。既不是股份證明也不是工作證明

While it doesn’t follow Proof of Work (PoW) like Bitcoin or Proof of Stake (PoS) like Ethereum, Pi Network claims to be distributed.

雖然它不遵循像比特幣或股份證明（POS）這樣的工作證明（POW），但PI網絡聲稱要分發。

There is no mining without PoW; there is no stake validation without PoS. Instead, Pi’s network is completely under the control of its developers, and users are essentially accumulating digital points rather than any real currency.

沒有戰俘就沒有採礦。沒有POS，就沒有股權驗證。取而代之的是，PI的網絡完全由開發人員控制，用戶本質上積累了數字點，而不是任何真實的貨幣。

3. Consolidation Against Blockchain Values

3。與區塊鏈值的合併

Among the core principles behind blockchains is decentralization. Bitcoin is secure because of its distributed network of miners and nodes verifying transactions. In contrast, Pi Network operates on a closed mainnet controlled by its developers.

區塊鏈背後的核心原則之一是權力下放。比特幣之所以安全，是因為其分佈式礦工網絡和節點驗證交易。相比之下，PI網絡在其開發人員控制的封閉的內網上運行。

All user “mined” coins could vanish if the developers were to shut it down tomorrow, indicating that it is not a real cryptocurrency.

如果開發人員明天將其關閉，所有用戶“開採”硬幣都可能消失，這表明它不是真正的加密貨幣。

Pi Network’s Monetization Strategy: Who Really Benefits?

PI Network的貨幣化策略：誰真正受益？

Instead of creating value from mining, Pi Network profits from advertisements. The Philox has previously covered how Pi Network poses as a mining platform while actually capitalizing on its users through in-app advertising.

PI網絡從廣告中獲利而不是通過採礦創造價值。 Philox此前曾介紹PI網絡如何作為採礦平台，同時通過應用程序內廣告實際利用其用戶。

Crypto Experts Call Out Pi Coin as a Gimmick

加密專家將pi硬幣召集為頭

Multiple analysts and crypto forums have attacked Pi Network for being more of a marketing scheme than a genuine coin. Discussions on forums like BitcoinTalk and Reddit have frequently highlighted that:

多個分析師和加密論壇已經攻擊了PI網絡，因為PI網絡比真正的硬幣更像是一種營銷計劃。在BitCointalk和Reddit等論壇上的討論經常強調：

Investopedia advises readers to understand real mining techniques before committing time to platforms like Pi Network, also warning against “too-good-to-be-true” crypto schemes.

Investopedia建議讀者在將時間推向PI Network之類的平台之前，還要警告“過於良好的真實”加密計劃，以了解真實的採礦技術。

Avoid Falling For False Mining Claims

避免跌倒為假採礦主張

Pi Coin’s claim of easy mobile crypto mining is false. Real mining not only requires more than a button press but also massive computational power. Based on the facts, the article concludes that:

Pi Coin對輕鬆移動加密挖掘的主張是錯誤的。真正的採礦不僅需要按鈕按下，而且還需要大量的計算能力。根據事實，文章得出結論：

Users should educate themselves on real Bitcoin mining instead of wasting time on platforms like Pi Network and steer clear of ventures capitalizing on technological illiteracy.

用戶應該對自己進行真正的比特幣挖掘教育，而不是在PI網絡等平台上浪費時間，並避免利用技術文盲的風險投資。

The future of cryptocurrencies lies in real, distributed initiatives—not referral-based schemes masquerading as mining.

加密貨幣的未來在於真實的，分佈式的計劃，不是偽裝成採礦的基於推薦的計劃。
