One more thing: you don’t have to shut your project down after the competition. I checked all 204 projects from Seasons 1 and 2: 32 of them no longer open. Upload your build to Hive as a .zip, keep your data in HiveDB, and your project keeps living under its own name. Free, no fee. Your work doesn’t have to go to waste. And in the Webboos browser, just type yourname.nim in the address bar and your site opens, no domain needed: https://webboos.heylogram.com

It is open and usable right now, and it stays open after the competition. Hive and the QR till have no fees. A name costs a one-time payment, with no yearly rent, and it is yours for good. Money never passes through us. One name, one day: buying bread with it.

@Adeleke Khaleed I can give you a name to test with. You can connect a site to that name, and its users and site visits will show up in Hive. One more surprise: in the Webboos browser, the site opens directly with the name you got, so no extension and no domain to buy. You can build your project, deploy it, and in Webboos your site will come up under your name. You can also browse the names that are already in Hive: https://hive.heylogram.com

@Jeremy Lee Hi Enrique, Jeremy pointed me to NNS under my Pigeon post, and I've read through it. Your work is really advanced. We hadn't heard of each other, and we didn't share everything on our side either. Two name registries on Nimiq would be a mistake, so I'd rather work together than compete. Honestly, I would be glad if the registry were kept by someone else, or by Nimiq itself, so we can focus on what we really build. I see that NNS already covers many items on my own roadmap. My bigger plan is Webboos, our browser: I want to gather names from different chains under one roof there, and people already use parts of it today. I believe extensions like .com hurt communities, and that's why I work around a browser. Community should be the lifeblood of all this. My goal is very real: people should be able to buy bread with what they hold. I also don't believe in waiting for perfection; a project doesn't need to be a cathedral before people can use it. Pigeon is live today with real NIM. Are you in the competition too? Either way, I'd love to talk about using one standard together.

Pigeon update: every .nim name now gets a home Since the first post, Pigeon grew a second half. Every name you register in Pigeon now has a cell in Hive (https://hive.heylogram.com), and Pigeon's home screen opens it. What a name can do now: - Site and domain: upload a built site as a .zip or link your own server, then connect a domain you bought. The certificate comes by itself. - A shop: list products in signed settings. Buyers pay wallet to wallet, and the order turns "paid" only when the payment is seen on chain. - A QR till for the counter: type 12 NIM, show the QR, the customer scans it in Nimiq Pay, the screen turns green. Tested with a real payment on mainnet. - Tips, and a database with server-side field rules, so a fake score or a 6-star review is refused by the server. - Sub-names live inside the cell, and a player picks which name an app shows. On a computer, sign in with the Heylogram Wallet extension, or use the Webboos browser: type garura.nim in the address bar and the cell's site opens.

Games! Finally a cycle where “I was testing my app” is a valid excuse for playing all night.
