When the community feels that the software is ready for production and it has been thoroughly tested on the test network, the official mainnet of the Pi network will be launched. When the community will be ready, Pi will move on to the next step. After a thorough parallel launch of both systems, testnet will reach a state where its results will be consistent with the emulator. It will allow Pi developers to propose and implement corrections. For example, the results of both systems will be compared daily to catch the gaps and misses of the test network. The test network will be run parallel with the Pi emulator at the first stage and periodically. In fact, in order for any node to join the main network, they are advised to start with the test network. The Pi core team will host multiple nodes on the test network but will encourage more pioneers to launch their own nodes on the test network. The test network uses the exact same trust schedule as the main network. Pi is not displayed on exchanges during this stage, and it is impossible to buy Pi with any other currency.īefore starting the main network, the host software will be deployed to the test network. In other words, the live net will pre-mount in its genesis to block all account holders balances created during phase 1, and continue to work in the same way as the completely decentralized system. All coin minting for users will be transferred to the live network after its launch. During this phase, improvements in user experience and behavior are possible and relatively easy to make compared to the stable phase of the main network. The Pi server acts as a crane emulating the behavior of a decentralized system as it will function after its operation. There are three steps of Pi Network development: Pi Network uses Proof-of-Work algorithm without the high electricity costs. Bitcoin is starting to become old-fashioned as it requires a lot of electricity, while PI coins are completely eco-friendly. This is the result of cryptocurrency evolution in general. Pi Network allows users to earn PI cryptocurrency from any mobile device. Dr Nicolas Kokkalis, Head of Technologies.I have also added a function to utilise the Binance public API rather then Kraken.Pi Network beta version was launched on 3/14/19 by three Stanford PhDs and graduates: The main differences was that I had the black and white e-ink display so the candlestick graph was not easy to read (it was challenging to set variations of grey) so I decided to just graph it with a spark-line. This was build ontop of an existing eink cryptocurrency project. Hosted in gitlab you can view the entire repository here.

The code currently is specific to this model as I generate an image for 2.7” and utilise the inkyphat python module, however it shouldn’t be too difficult to adjust for a larger size or model the software In the next iteration I will use a pi zero, as it will be even smaller form factor as it’s around the same dimensions as the e-ink display I used Pomodoro inkyphat 2.7” e-ink display (black and white model) I had a spare one of those laying around, but they are very cheap these days. But for now it was a fun project that does the thing well and I got to learn some image manipulation in python! the hardware raspberry pi 3 It’s still a work in progress, as there a few bugs I need to sort out, and I need a nice looking case. So this project is a merge of these 2 things.

Ultra Low power, easily readable displays.
