Hey all! 👋 Simple question: should the score be made public? Yes or no?

Cycle 1 is officially in the books. 62 Mini Apps submitted, all of them scored by the Nimiq Community Council, and the results are final. 🥁 Drumroll please… 🥇 1st place: Nimiq Space by @Harley NSpace An open multiplayer world where wallet-signed players can see who is online right now, paint a persistent 500x500 collaborative floor, and build rooms that sync live for everyone in them. 🥈 2nd place: NimJump by @Emre Alt An arcade game built around a minimal client-authority architecture, where the server replays every run itself instead of trusting the score the client reports. 🥉 3rd place: NimQuest by @mystiquemide A learn-and-prove Mini App with server-graded quizzes, where a completion only counts once you sign a one-time message in Nimiq Pay. Congratulations to all three. Winners will be contacted directly to arrange payout. To everyone else who submitted, thank you. You shipped something real in four weeks and set the bar high for future cycles. Every app you built is yours under the MIT License, so keep going with it. 🗓️ Cycle 2 opens August 24. Same $17,000 USDT prize pool, four Sip & Ship calls, submissions close September 18 at 23:59 UTC. If your app did not place this time, you can refine it and submit it again.

NIM Hunt is a geofaucet-style and prizedraw mini-app for NimPay. Users can create "spots" for other users to find and claim Nimiq rewards. Spots can include optional rules and formats so creators can make simple public drops, password-gated rewards, timed location challenges, or Prizedraw-style entries. Roadmap Most of the coding is complete. Right now the only major hurdle is testing so no one loses any Nimiq. Expect a release in around 10 days. You can follow me on X @NIM_Hunt. Keep an eye on X as I'll post some spots to mark our release!
