以下是10月16日(美東時間10月15日)發布的第一個由核心團隊領頭羊尼可拉斯的視頻說明，是關於大會正式命名、大會議程、大會內容以及對Pi Node(Pi電腦節點)運用功能及展望的說明。茲將文字檔原文說明列出，並使用谷歌翻譯供參考。(英語能力有限且篇幅過大，就不再校正，語意自行意會)。
Pi Node update & future plans
Pi Node更新和未來計劃
Welcome to the first Pi convention!
The past few days we asked Pioneers to come up with unique names to call our convention through a Pi Topic.
And we received 186,173 suggestions.
The community upvoted and downvoted about half a million times.
As a result of this process, a very interesting name bubbled up.
The name COiNVENTION. Coinvention resembles co-invention which means we are inventing Pi all together, but it also resembles coin-vention and convention.
So, we decided to go with it.
歡迎參加第一個Pi大會！
過去幾天，我們要求先鋒公司提出一個唯一的名稱，以通過Pi主題來召集我們的大會。
我們收到了186,173條建議。
社區進行了大約50萬次投票。
作為此過程的結果，一個非常有趣的名字冒出來了。
名稱為COINVENTION。
共同發明類似於共同發明，這意味著我們一起發明了Pi，但是它也類似於共同發明和慣例。
因此，我們決定使用它。
Name Credit:
There were 471 Pioneers who wrote COiNVENTION as their suggestion using different capitalizations and combinations of additional words.
The first person to type “Pi coinvention” was @QasisPi (at 2020-10-08 16:36:45), and the first person to use the exact capitalization we selected was @Saraskins (at 2020-10-09 11:07:57 UTC) and this Pioneer’s entry got the most upvotes amongst all alternatives.
名稱創建者：
有471位先驅寫過COiNVENTION作為他們的建議，使用不同的大小寫和附加詞的組合。
第一個輸入“ Pi coinvention”的人是@QasisPi（在2020-10-08 16:36:45），第一個使用我們選擇的確切大小寫的人是@Saraskins（在2020-10-09 11:07） ：57 UTC），並且在所有替代方案中，該先鋒作品的投票最多。

1. Summary until now
1.總結到現在
Updates更新
We’ve recently released Node v0.3.4, and we are now on version v0.3.6.
Unlike previous versions, these latest versions can run the Pi blockchain for selected candidates.
我們最近發布了Node v0.3.4，現在版本為v0.3.6。
與以前的版本不同，這些最新版本可以為選定的候選人運行Pi區塊鏈。
Over the past few months, we’ve been developing this version of the Node that allows Pioneers to run the blockchain through a user-friendly interface.
It took quite some time to release this version to all Pioneers because in addition to its development, we also had about 10 iterations of test releases with moderators and voluntary testers before a community release.
The purpose of the long test iterations was to discover and fix as many bugs as possible that may be exposed by different devices and operating systems and to save frustration from most Pioneers in a community release.
Due to the nature of compatibility issues with diverse devices and operating systems, we still expect some reports of issues when running this version, but hopefully they’re much reduced, thanks to the test release iterations.
This version also includes more data about the status of the blockchain container in the Node Interface for Pioneers to troubleshoot.
在過去的幾個月中，我們一直在開發此版本的Node，該版本允許Pioneers通過用戶友好的界面運行區塊鏈。
向所有Pioneer發行此版本花了很長時間，因為除了其開發之外，在社區發行之前，我們還與主持人和自願測試者進行了大約10次測試發行迭代。
長期測試迭代的目的是發現並修復盡可能多的錯誤，這些錯誤可能由不同的設備和操作系統公開，並在社區版本中避免大多數Pioneers感到沮喪。
由於與各種設備和操作系統的兼容性問題的性質，我們仍然希望在運行此版本時出現一些問題報告，但是希望通過測試版本迭代可以大大減少這些問題。
此版本還包含有關節點接口中區塊鏈容器狀態的更多數據，供先驅人員進行故障排除。
We’ve invited over a hundred node candidates and will be gradually inviting node candidates to start running the blockchain to follow the Testnet.
All candidates can upgrade to this latest version v0.3.6.
However, the new functionality of turning on and viewing the blockchain will be rolled out gradually to different candidates for technical reasons.
Don’t be discouraged if you have not seen the new feature because we are still enrolling more candidates.
The goal is to enable all Node candidates to be able to turn on the blockchain container to follow the testnet blockchain as it evolves.
我們已經邀請了一百多個節點候選人，並將逐步邀請節點候選人開始運行區塊鏈以遵循Testnet。
所有候選人都可以升級到此最新版本v0.3.6。
但是，出於技術原因，開啟和查看區塊鏈的新功能將逐步向不同的候選人推出。
如果您尚未看到新功能，請不要灰心，因為我們仍在招募更多候選人。
目的是使所有Node候選人都能隨著測試網絡的發展而開啟區塊鏈容器以跟隨測試網絡。
Significance of v0.3.4 and beyond
v0.3.4及更高版本的意義
Pi Node v0.3.4 will only allow viewing of the Pi Testnet, but it is significant because it is the first time that Pi Node software runs the blockchain on a larger scale, and it initiates the second stage of the Testnet Roadmap - Revision Stage that comprises an iterative process of two activities:
Pi Node v0.3.4僅允許查看Pi Testnet，但這很重要，因為這是Pi Node軟件第一次大規模運行區塊鏈，並且啟動了Testnet路線圖的第二階段，修訂階段，包含兩個活動的迭代過程：
scenario testing and consensus algorithm revision.
場景測試和共識算法修訂。
Building on this version, the Core Team can quickly assign simulated data of the network graph and configurations to different Nodes, to more efficiently stress test a wide range of scenarios and states of the network.
在此版本的基礎上，核心團隊可以將網絡圖和配置的模擬數據快速分配給不同的節點，以更有效地對網絡的各種場景和狀態進行壓力測試。
The data generated from these tests will then feed the revision process of the consensus algorithm.
The Revision Stage will presumably be a rather long period during which multiple node versions will be released because it involves not only engineering time but also research breakthroughs.
As the consensus algorithm gets improved through simulated data, the Core Team will be able to add more abilities to Nodes and Supernodes than just viewing the testnet, such as validating transactions and participating in the consensus algorithm, progressing towards the third stage - Live Testnet.
這些測試生成的數據將提供給共識算法的修訂過程。
修訂階段大概是相當長的一段時間，在此期間將發布多個節點版本，因為這不僅涉及工程時間，而且還涉及研究突破。
隨著共識算法通過仿真數據得到改進，核心團隊將能夠向節點和超級節點添加更多功能，而不僅僅是查看測試網，例如驗證交易和參與共識算法，然後進入第三階段-Live Testnet。
2. Next steps in building the Node (Q4 2020)
構建節點的後續步驟（2020年第四季度）
In Q4 2020, we will continue to build on top of v0.3.6 and aim to achieve more test functionalities of the Testnet.
First of all, we want to enable the Testnet to allow Supernodes to run the blockchain and participate in the consensus.
在2020年第四季度，我們將繼續在v0.3.6的基礎上繼續發展，並致力於實現Testnet的更多測試功能。
首先，我們要啟用Testnet，以允許Supernodes運行區塊鏈並參與共識。
This means that we will be building out the functionalities for Supernodes, e.g. submitting, writing and validating transactions on the blockchain.
We will also set up the centralized layer in the Testnet to allow assigning simulated data, running the Revision Stage experiments and stress-testing scenarios, as described in the Testnet Roadmap.
這意味著我們將擴展超級節點的功能，例如在區塊鏈上提交，編寫和驗證交易。
我們還將在Testnet中設置集中層，以允許分配模擬數據，運行修訂階段實驗和壓力測試方案，如Testnet路線圖所述。
Along with the need to run experiments, we need to build real-time network health data collection mechanisms.
For example, in order to determine if an experiment is successful or not, we need to know the effects on the network health from any specific experiment setups.
除了需要進行實驗之外，我們還需要建立實時的網絡健康數據收集機制。
例如，為了確定實驗是否成功，我們需要從任何特定的實驗設置中了解對網絡健康的影響。
Once Supernodes functionalities are in place, we will select and invite more Supernodes in Q4 to participate in the consensus of the Testnet based on the node statistics that we have been collecting.
Subsequently, more Nodes will also be selected to follow these SuperNodes in the network.
一旦超級節點功能到位，我們將根據我們一直在收集的節點統計信息，選擇並邀請第四季度的更多超級節點參與Testnet的共識。
隨後，還將選擇更多節點來跟隨網絡中的這些超級節點。
Hence, a distributed Testnet will be formed then.
In Q4, if time allows, we also hope to build Testnet testing infrastructure, for example, block explorer, faucets of transaction requests, and test wallets, to complete a testing environment convenient for individual Nodes to follow.
In 2021, as more SuperNodes and Nodes are added to the network, we will need to test, experiment and address any issues arising from scalability, together with any work necessary for the Revision Stage for the consensus algorithm.
因此，然後將形成分佈式Testnet。
如果時間允許，在第四季度，我們還希望構建Testnet測試基礎結構，例如，區塊瀏覽器，事務請求的水龍頭和測試錢包，以完善便於單個Node遵循的測試環境。
在2021年，隨著更多的超級節點和節點被添加到網絡中，我們將需要測試，試驗和解決可伸縮性引起的任何問題，以及共識算法修訂階段所需的任何工作。
3. Why is Pi Node important?
Pi Node為什麼重要？
In this session we will talk about the importance of Nodes and SuperNodes to every Pioneer and some examples of additional roles Nodes can play on the Pi Network.
在本節中，我們將討論節點和超級節點對每個先鋒的重要性，以及節點在Pi網絡上可以發揮的其他作用的一些示例。
Not only is the Pi Node the cornerstone of the Pi Blockchain, but it also contributes to ecosystem building and economic applications.
For example, in addition to securing the ledger, SuperNodes can also technically support applications of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) such as the tokenization of real world assets and real estate.
Pi Node不僅是Pi區塊鏈的基石，而且還為生態系統建設和經濟應用做出了貢獻。
例如，除了保護分類帳之外，超級節點還可以在技術上支持分散式金融（DeFi）的應用程序，例如現實世界資產和房地產的令牌化。
But why is the node software important even in non-blockchain sense, and how do Pi Nodes and blockchain matter to Pioneers who neither serve as SuperNodes nor Nodes?
Our original vision for the Pi Node software was never just limited to operating and supporting the blockchain that secures a ledger of transactions, which is certainly the core and base layer of the decentralization of Pi Network.
The benefits of building a user-friendly node software is having extensibility of the functionalities of Node and a large group of people who can contribute to the applications of the Node software. We want to share a bit more about the long-term strategy of the Node software beyond securing the ledger.
但是，即使在非區塊鏈意義上，節點軟件為何也很重要？
Pi節點和區塊鏈對既不充當超級節點也不充當節點的先鋒有何影響？
我們對Pi Node軟件的最初願景絕不僅限於操作和支持確保交易分類賬的區塊鏈，這當然是Pi Network去中心化的核心和基礎層。
構建用戶友好的節點軟件的好處是可以擴展Node的功能，並可以為Node軟件的應用做出貢獻。
除了保護分類帳之外，我們還希望更多地分享Node軟件的長期策略。
Currently we have over 200K Pioneers who downloaded and installed the Pi Node software, and there are over 60K nodes active every day, out of which 40K appear to be actively managed, for example, updating to the latest version.
A portion of these Nodes will become Supernodes, depending on the selection process based on the hardware, operating systems, network performance, etc.
What is the Core Team’s plan for the people running the Pi Node software who are not necessarily Supernodes or Nodes responsible for maintaining the ledger?
Actually, we have great expectations for them and are open to any suggestions that build on top of our thoughts.
目前，我們有超過20萬名Pioneer下載並安裝了Pi Node軟件，每天有超過60K個節點處於活動狀態，其中有40K個似乎處於主動管理狀態，例如，更新到最新版本。
根據基於硬件，操作系統，網絡性能等的選擇過程，這些節點的一部分將成為超級節點。
對於運行Pi Node軟件的人員（不一定是超級節點或負責節點的人員），核心團隊的計劃是什麼？
維護分類帳？
實際上，我們對它們寄予厚望，並且願意接受基於我們思想的任何建議。
First of all, the Desktop Pi App serves as a redundant interface for the mobile Interface.
Not only does this provide desktop or laptop accessibility to the mobile application functionalities, e.g. chats, mining status, future uses of apps on Pi Platform, but also it serves as one important step to decentralization in regard to the centralized points of mobile app stores.
首先，Desktop Pi App用作移動接口的冗餘接口。
這不僅提供了台式機或筆記本電腦對移動應用程序功能（例如聊天，挖掘狀態，Pi平台上應用程序的未來使用情況，但對於移動應用程序商店集中點而言，它也是去中心化的重要一步。
App stores have been one point of centralization in Pi Network’s ecosystem.
Given the controversy about cryptocurrencies, app stores are particularly strict in reviewing apps related to cryptocurrencies.
We experienced their centralized control over the past 2 years of development of Pi Network (e.g. our mobile applications had to go through very rigorous review cycles to get approved or stay live), and we saw other legitimate apps getting completely delisted from the stores for various reasons sometimes.
應用商店已成為Pi Network生態系統中集中化的重點之一。
鑑於有關加密貨幣的爭議，應用商店在審查與加密貨幣有關的應用時特別嚴格。
在Pi Network的過去兩年中，我們經歷了他們的集中控制（例如，我們的移動應用程序必須經過非常嚴格的審核週期才能獲得批准或保持有效），並且我們看到其他合法應用程序已從商店中完全刪除，用於各種有時原因。
We hope this will never happen to Pi, but shall the app stores decide to remove our app from their stores for any reasons, the Node software will be our backup to still maintain the functionalities, the community and the organization of the network.
By having our node software that contains the Pi app component, we de-risk the possibility of any potential failure in centralized apps stores.
我們希望Pi永遠不會發生這種情況，但是應用商店應決定出於任何原因將我們的應用從商店中刪除，Node軟件將成為我們的備份，以仍然維護網絡的功能，社區和組織。
通過使用包含Pi應用程序組件的節點軟件，我們降低了集中式應用程序商店中任何潛在故障的可能性。
Apart from maintaining and securing Pi’s blockchain, nodes can also allow individuals to share computing resources and get fairly compensated for it.
Such resources include:
processing power, disk space, and network bandwidth.
These are not our immediate plans but are all possibilities that may come further down the line.
Let’s look at use cases for each:
除了維護和保護Pi的區塊鏈外，節點還可以使個人共享計算資源並獲得合理的補償。
這些資源包括：
處理能力，磁盤空間和網絡帶寬。
這些不是我們的近期計劃，而是所有可能進一步發展的可能性。
讓我們看一下每個的用例：
Disk space:
Think of it as a decentralized encrypted Dropbox that allows people to get compensated for securely storing files.
In its implementation, it can be similar to BitTorrent in the notion that files will be stored in a decentralized network of nodes, while at the same time staking mechanisms can make sure all files stored on the Pi Network are fully licenced (e.g. if a file is found to be infringing some rights, the file’s uploader loses their stake / rent on the file).
To put this in perspective, the Core Team pays thousands of dollars every month to Amazon AWS for storing the Pi node’s source files so that pioneers can download them.
In the same manner, other websites and apps do the same.
Instead of these websites paying Amazon, they could be paying that cost to pioneers using Pi, thus creating a passive income opportunity to Pi Node operators.
磁盤空間：
將其視為分散式加密Dropbox，使人們可以安全地存儲文件而獲得補償。
在其實現中，可以將文件存儲在分散的節點網絡中，這與BitTorrent相似，而同時放樣機制可以確保Pi網絡上存儲的所有文件均已獲得完全許可（例如，如果文件 被發現侵犯了某些權利，文件的上傳者將失去其在文件中的股份/租賃）。
為了正確理解這一點，核心團隊每月向Amazon AWS支付數千美元，用於存儲Pi節點的源文件，以便開拓者可以下載它們。
同樣，其他網站和應用程序也執行相同的操作。
他們可能會向那些使用Pi的先驅支付這些費用，而不是向這些網站支付亞馬遜的費用，從而為Pi Node運營商創造了被動的收入機會。
Network bandwidth.
This use case is also known as Content Delivery Networks (CDN), and it is how the Internet is able to scale.
For example, the Pi app (like any app or website)
(i) contains graphics (images, videos, etc) and
(ii) needs to ask the server individualized questions (e.g. what’s my balance).
While the individualized questions must reach a Pi database to be answered, the vast majority of the graphics are the same for all members and can be answered by a decentralized server near that person.
網絡帶寬。
此用例也稱為內容交付網絡（CDN），這是Internet能夠擴展的方式。
例如，Pi應用程序（像任何應用程序或網站一樣）
（i）包含圖形（圖像，視頻等），並且
（ii）需要詢問服務器個性化問題（例如，我的餘額是多少）。
儘管必須將個性化問題發送到Pi數據庫才能進行回答，但絕大多數成員的所有圖形都是相同的，並且可以由該人附近的分散服務器來回答。
So, for example, when a pioneer in Paris opens her app, the Pi logo comes to her from a server in Paris operated by our CDN partner, while her balance comes from Pi’s database in San Francisco.
This process helps speed up the application tremendously because the majority of the data can be delivered fast from a nearby datacenter and doesn’t need to travel long distances over the Pacific Ocean.
All major apps and websites on the internet use CDNs to deliver their content.
Once again to put it in perspective, Pi spends thousands of dollars a month to our CDN providers.
因此，例如，當巴黎的一位先驅打開她的應用程序時，Pi徽標來自我們CDN合作夥伴在巴黎運行的服務器上，而她的餘額則來自Pi的舊金山數據庫。
此過程極大地加快了應用程序的速度，因為大多數數據可以從附近的數據中心快速交付，並且不需要在太平洋上長距離傳輸。
互聯網上的所有主要應用和網站都使用CDN來傳遞其內容。
But for Pi Network with a distributed node network, there should be no need for such an intermediary when there are tens of thousands of Pioneer nodes in every corner of the world.
There is probably a pioneer closer to you than any of the CDN’s servers.
What if Pi Nodes could utilize their unused network bandwidth to function as a decentralized CDN?
If we were able to create such a CDN marketplace for pioneers, they could be receiving additional passive income for operating their Nodes.
再次說明一下，Pi每月向我們的CDN提供商花費數千美元。
但是對於具有分佈式節點網絡的Pi Network，當世界每個角落都有成千上萬的Pioneer節點時，就不需要這種中介。
CDN的服務器可能比您更接近先驅。
如果Pi節點可以利用其未使用的網絡帶寬來充當分散CDN怎麼辦？
如果我們能夠為開拓者創建這樣的CDN市場，那麼他們可能會因運營其節點而獲得額外的被動收入。
Processing power.
Every computer has one or more processors (CPUs) and those CPUs are mostly unused during the day and completely unused during the night.
Think of your processor more like your car:
it is mostly sitting in your parking lot waiting for you to use it when you need it. At the same time there are a lot of companies paying large monthly fees renting servers from cloud providers such as Amazon AWS.
Potentially Pi Network could match companies with Pioneers who are interested in renting out their unused CPU time?
According to our Pi Node stats, every day there over 380,000 CPU cores operated by Pi Nodes, and they were unused 69% of the time on average.
處理能力。
每台計算機都有一個或多個處理器（CPU），而這些CPU在白天大多數時候不使用，而在晚上則完全不使用。
想想處理器更像您的汽車：
處理器通常坐在您的停車場中，等您需要時使用。
同時，許多公司從雲服務提供商（如Amazon AWS）租用服務器，每月要支付高額費用。
Pi Network可能會與有興趣租用未使用的CPU時間的Pioneer匹配的公司？
根據我們的Pi Node統計數據，每天有超過380,000個CPU內核由Pi Node操作，平均有69％的時間未使用它們。
The good thing about sharing computer resources is that everyone could potentially participate in sharing them even on a part time basis.
Moreover, due to the way we structured the Pi Node Software technically these functionalities can be implemented as Docker Containers on top of our Node software, and therefore the development of such modules doesn’t necessarily have to come from the Core Team.
We recommend taking these ideas as food for thought, adding your own creative ideas on top of them and joining the Core Team in building the future together!
共享計算機資源的好處是，每個人都可以甚至部分時間參與共享計算機資源。
此外，由於我們從技術上構造了Pi Node軟件的方式，這些功能可以在Node軟件的頂部實現為Docker容器，因此此類模塊的開發不一定必須來自核心團隊。
我們建議您將這些想法作為思考的食物，在它們之上添加您自己的創意，並加入核心團隊共同打造未來！
