Pi’s original economic model and mining mechanism are to strike a balance between access and scarcity. While aiming to be the most inclusive and widespread digital currency in the world, Pi tries to achieve a level of scarcity through a mining mechanism where the base mining rate halves when the network size increases by 10X, and the base mining rate based on new minting will fall to zero when the network size reaches a certain point. So which point of the network size is the question here. Even though in our White Paper, we specified the network size to be at least 100 million people, the Core Team had left the decision open, as to whether we will continue or stop mobile mining at the mark of 10 million network size, because back then we lacked data in network growth speed and engagement, and in the technical and ecosystem progresses. Today we’ve crossed the mark of 10 million engaged Pioneers and need to make a decision on whether the base mining rate halves or falls to zero. Some Pioneers may have misunder
stood the purpose of this question and thought this was a question about whether to stop the project and asked us not to give up. Don’t worry. We’re not giving up, and we’re working tirelessly every moment towards our goals for Pi. We want to clarify that the purpose of the discussion has nothing to do with whether the project continues or stops, but is to make a decision that affects the growth of the Pi Network, the supply of Pi, the Pi ecosystem-building and whether it will eventually turn into an inclusive global economy.

The Core Team’s decision on this question is based on data and analysis that we have about the network and ecosystem, input from the community, experts’ views and Pi’s vision and mission, much of which will be presented below. In seeking for community input on this question, one of the major community-wide discussions at the recent Pi Convention was on this subject, where the Core Team collected video submissions from vocal community representatives and text responses of forum participants in the in-app Topics. For the past few weeks, the Core Team has been processing the community responses on this matter, along with analyzing technical data about the network, reaching out to area experts who we know for feedback and evaluating the current circumstances against the vision and goals of Pi Network, in order to make this decision.

The community opinions about whether to halve or to stop mobile mining at 10M mark are split: For Pioneers who support stopping, their reasons are primarily that stopping mining at 10M would provide scarcity and that it might take long to reach 100M. For Pioneers who support halving, their reasons include that halving would allow the network to continue growing and that stopping now would harm the ecosystem building. Of course, from both sides of the Pioneers, creative ideas were proposed about what we could do to mitigate any negative effects of either side of the decision, and some of such ideas are incorporated into the Core Team’s analysis below.

为了寻求社区对这个问题的意见，在最近的Pi大会上，社区范围内的主要讨论之一就是关于这个问题的，核心团队收集了社区代表在应用内话题上的发言视频和论坛参与者的文本回复。

在过去的几周里,核心团队已经处理社会在这个问题上的反应,以及对网络分析技术数据,接触区域专家我们知道反馈和评估当前形势下对π网络的愿景和目标,为了做出这个决定。社区意见概览对于是否在1000米的时候减少一半或者停止移动采矿，社区的意见有分歧:对于那些支持停止采矿的先驱们来说，他们的主要原因是在1000米的时候停止采矿会造成稀缺，而要达到100米可能需要很长时间。对于那些支持减半的先驱们来说，他们的理由包括:减半可以让网络继续增长，而现在停止会损害生态系统的建设。当然，双方的先驱者都提出了创造性的想法，关于我们可以做些什么来减轻任何一方的负面影响，其中一些想法被纳入了核心团队下面的分析中。决定在对上述所有数据进行了彻底分析后，

After thorough analysis of all data mentioned above, the Core Team has decided that the base mining rate is halved at the mark of 10 million engaged Pioneers. The base mining rate will be 0.19634954085 (π/16), including the 0.09817477042 (π/32) from being a Pioneer and up to 0.09817477042 (π/32) from being a contributor to the security circles (These are the precise numbers used for all computations of mining rewards, while the display in-app approximate these rates to the their first two decimal points). The new halved base mining rate will take effect after the completion of your respective current mining sessions. Below are two major sections that we would like to share with the community: 1) reasons and analysis for making such a decision, and 2) plans ahead especially for any concerns about this decision.

核心团队决定将基础挖掘率减半，减少到1000万。基本开采率将0.19634954085(π/ 16),包括0.09817477042(π/ 32)从一个先锋和0.09817477042(π/ 32)从一个贡献者的安全圈(这些都是矿业的精确数字用于所有计算奖励,同时显示应用内近似这些利率前两个小数点)。新的减半的基础挖掘率将在您当前的挖掘会话完成后生效。

以下是我们想与公众分享的两个主要部分:1)做出这样一个决定的原因和分析，以及2)提前计划，特别是对于任何与这个决定有关的担忧。

1.为决策进行核心团队分析白皮书里有什么?

As mentioned previously, the original Pi White Paper specified the network size as at least 100 million people. Because we did not know how fast the network would grow, and in case that it would take years to reach 10 million, we left the decision open about whether mobile mining stops at 10 million. The reason why the length of time to reach a certain halving network size matters to the supply is that the longer the whole network stays mining on a higher mining rate, the more Pi is minted. However, in fact, it only took us a bit more than one year to grow from the last halving event of 1 million Pioneers to the 10 million engaged Pioneers mark. The network growth speed is faster than we originally expected.

如前所述，原始的Pi白皮书规定网络规模至少为1亿人。因为我们不知道这个网络的增长速度会有多快，而且万一需要几年时间才能达到1000万，我们没有决定移动采矿是否会停止在1000万。网络规模减半的时间长短之所以对供应很重要，是因为整个网络的采掘时间越长，采掘率越高，产生的Pi就越多。然而，事实上，我们只花了一年多一点的时间就从上一次的100万先驱者减半到1000万参与的先驱者。网络的增长速度比我们原先预期的要快。

稀缺性

The primary reasoning for stopping at 10 million is that it will increase the scarcity of the currency. Scarcity is one major mechanism that currencies use to control and increase their value. The scarcity of Bitcoin contributes to its legend as a store of value, just like digital gold. However, history doesn’t repeat exactly, and the path to value creation by Bicoin cannot be exactly copied due to changed historical time and circumstances. There is only one Bitcoin in history, and even bitcoin bootstrapped its initial value from utility due to being the first functional distributed cryptocurrency that supports secure p2p pseudo-anonymous transactions and self-sovereignty of assets. The pure reliance on controlling supply and scarcity will not lead to value creation, as evidenced by the deaths of many other cryptocurrencies exclusively focusing on building supply-oriented token models in 2017. It is too often when discussing the value of cryptocurrencies that people primarily focus on supply while neglecting
the other major variable in the equation about value: demand. At Pi Network, we believe the future value creation for cryptocurrencies will come from creating demands through utilities while having the proper mechanism in place to keep supply in check.

In addition to the questionable effectiveness of only relying on scarcity, there is also the problem of being too scarce which would harm the ability for the currency to facilitate value creation processes – utilities. Being too scarce means that most people would hoard and hold on to Pi instead of spending it; without spending Pi, the currency would be limited in its ability to support transactions of goods and services, which are the means by which Pi Network hopes to bootstrap its value. How can we create an ecosystem of utilities in the scenario where no one would want to spend Pi? Utilities can only be created
