Pi crypto & UBI - Hack for Social Impact 2025 SF 


Hi Steve, and Cher, 

Nice to meet you yesterday at 'Hack for Social Impact - Second Year' in SF yesterday.

Regarding free World University and School / WUaS  and Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency (with which WUaS has a parenting email), here, Steve, is the "pi crypto and ubi" information I mentioned sending to you, which we talked about yesterday. How best could the Homeless Connect Project you're working on at Hack for Social Impact 2025 SF best distribute Pi cryptocurrency free money daily to all the homeless in the greater SF Bay Area? And could you, Steve, become the account manager somehow in this and in communication with Cher, who is a Google Project Lead, and as key organizer of Hack for Social Impact?

regards, 
Scott


PS

Here's an invitation to Pi cryptocurrency free money daily, and a bit about how it works re WUaS and Peter Norvig, in a Linkedin post

Pi is a new digital currency developed by Stanford PhDs, with over 55 million members worldwide. To claim your Pi, follow this link https://minepi.com/sgkmac and my username (sgkmac) as your invitation code.

pi crypto and ubi

Pi Network is a cryptocurrency project with a massive user base that proposes using its platform as infrastructure for Universal Basic Income (UBI) distribution. The project is currently in its enclosed mainnet phase, meaning Pi coin has limited real-world utility and is not widely tradable on major exchanges, but some related tokens are available on select exchanges like OKX and Bitget. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Pi Network and UBI
The potential connection between Pi Network and UBI is a speculative idea primarily discussed within the Pi community and by some analysts as a potential future use case for the platform. The core idea is that:
  • Infrastructure for Distribution: Pi's architecture, which includes a large user base (over 60 million "Pioneers"), a Know Your Customer (KYC) verification system, and an integrated wallet, could serve as an efficient, low-cost platform for governments or other entities to distribute UBI or digital welfare to citizens.
  • Decentralized Welfare: The network's structure could enable automated, accountable reward distribution and community governance, potentially reducing corruption risks associated with traditional welfare systems. [1, 6]

It is important to note that this is a proposed future application and not an official, implemented UBI program. [1, 7]

Current Status of Pi Crypto
  • Enclosed Mainnet: The Pi Network is currently in an "Enclosed Mainnet" phase. This means the blockchain is live, but a firewall prevents external connectivity, and official Pi coins cannot be traded for other cryptocurrencies or fiat on major external exchanges.
  • "Mining" Process: Users "mine" Pi coins via a mobile app by checking in daily, which is an energy-efficient method using the Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP) rather than energy-intensive proof-of-work. This process is largely an engagement tool to build the user base before the open mainnet launch.
  • Limited Value: Due to its enclosed nature, the Pi coin has no official market value yet. The listings on some exchanges are for IOUs (I Owe You) or speculative futures, which are not the actual Pi coins that can be withdrawn from the network.
  • Future Prospects: The project aims to transition to an "Open Mainnet" in the future, which would remove the firewall and allow for full connectivity, external trading, and broad dApp integration. [2, 3, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11]

Summary
While the Pi Network has built a significant community and infrastructure that proponents believe could facilitate future applications like UBI distribution, the project remains a speculative venture. Users invest time and attention, not money, but should be aware that the Pi coin's value and the implementation of advanced use cases like UBI depend entirely on the successful and full launch of its open mainnet and subsequent real-world adoption. [5, 9, 12]

of possible interest...



All,

I want to invite you all to our second annual Hack for Social Impact, taking place on November 8–9 in San Francisco. Luma Link for Registration.

This hackathon connects technologists with nonprofits, NGOs, and civic organizations such as Project Homeless Connect, the California Youth Homeless Project, Point Blue Conservation Science, The Innocence Center, Mission Local, and more. Our goal is to foster lasting impact by encouraging teams to continue developing their projects beyond the event.

Last year’s hackathon was held in partnership with the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) in San Francisco. One of the winning teams presented their solution at COP26 in Saudi Arabia (the UNCCD’s decision-making conference), while another secured investment from Y Combinator.

This year, we’re proud to have sponsorship from leading technology companies including Eudia, Google, Bild AI (YC W25, last year’s winner), and ElevenLabs.

Please find the flyer below.
Looking forward to seeing many of you there.

Regards,

Marzieh
