piggy is coming up nicely. I have been busy IRL so I haven’t been posting much here. tldr: - Audited and Deployed the piggy smart contracts. Currently deployed on polygon Amoy. - Thanks to Harley’s suggestion, we are now using Nimq native identicons for the avatar. - App now works E2E. still work to be done in terms of polishing in performance improvements, but we are getting there gradually - You can test the app now inside nimq pay app. Just copy the url to give it a spin. - Paymaster Gas sponsorship is not yet live (testnet), so you’d need a smol POL for gas. As for USDT faucet, also included a faucet in the deposit section to enable users to mint $1000 tUSDT to test the app. - POL faucet: https://faucet.polygon.technology - piggy link: https://piggy-vault.vercel.app Test it, break things, leave your feedbacks and suggestions on how to make Piggy awesome.

We’re all busy coming up with and building Mini Apps that will be part of Nimiq Pay. But to be completely honest, in my opinion the Nimiq Pay app itself could use some much-needed improvements. As the “parent app,” it really needs to be up to par. Am I the only one who feels this way, or are there others? Below are a few issues I’ve run into that I think could use an upgrade. 1. To transfer NIM, you always have to enter an amount in $ or €. My suggestion is to also allow entering an amount in NIM. 2. Information and functionality are missing for incoming payments: - You can’t see who sent it - The address can’t be used to send a return payment - The address can’t be added to the address book - The transaction description isn’t displayed. If John and Mary both sent me an amount and I receive one payment, I can’t tell who made the transfer... 3. The address book seems to be automatically populated with addresses, but their origin is unclear, which leads to errors. Perhaps there are other ideas?

With the competition kicking off next week, I wanted to share some Mini App ideas that might help if you're still deciding what to build for Cycle 1. These are concepts we haven't seen built in this form yet, but feel very natural for Mini Apps. Feel free to take one, remix one, or use them as inspiration for your own idea. If you're already building something similar, drop it in the comments below. We'd love to hear about it! 🔤 Word Duel A 1v1 Wordle-style game where both players receive the same word at the same time and compete to solve it in the fewest guesses. Both stake the same amount in NIM or USDT, and the winner takes the pot. Target audience: casual gamers and Wordle players who already enjoy daily word puzzles and want a competitive twist. 💌 Whisper An anonymous messaging app where users can send a message to someone along with a small gift in NIM or USDT. Target audience: creators, streamers, and everyday users who want a simple way for followers or friends to send messages with an optional tip attached. 📖 Chapter by Chapter A serialized storytelling platform (similar to Wattpad) where writers share their stories chapter by chapter and readers pay in NIM or USDT to unlock each one. Target audience: fiction writers and readers of romance, fantasy, and serialized drama content. ♟️ Checkmate A 1v1 chess app where both players stake NIM or USDT before the match, and the winner takes the pot. Target audience: chess players who enjoy casual competition and want higher-stakes matches. 📍 Pinpoint A geography guessing game (similar to GeoGuessr) where players stake NIM or USDT to enter each round. Both players sees the same street view image, guess the location, and whoever is closest wins. Target audience: GeoGuessr players, travel enthusiasts, and trivia lovers. 🤖 Prompt Market A marketplace where users can buy and sell AI prompts, paid in NIM or USDT, with instant access after purchase. Target audience: AI users, prompt engineers, and creators building AI workflows.

anyone building games on NIMQ? built playmate, a gaming platform where u could stake usdt/usdc in an escrow, compete in a PvP match. Winners get paid out the combined stakes of both players. Right now, the supported games are chess, checkers and poker. You can even host tournaments with frens Perhaps I will ship this in future mini app competitions.
