Hi Nimiq Team, I wanted to share something a couple of users have reported. When the game is opened inside the Nimiq Pay WebView, the bottom system navigation bar on the phone seems to stay on top of the game content, covering it. For comparison, this doesn't happen in other WebView environments that were tested, like Telegram's in-app browser — the nav bar behaves normally there. So it's suspected that this might be something specific to how the WebView is set up on the Nimiq Pay side, though it's not certain. On our end, some JS and CSS fixes were tried (safe-area padding, viewport adjustments, etc.) and they helped to some extent, but the exact position/height of the navigation bar could never be reliably detected from the web side — that information just doesn't seem to be consistently available from within the WebView. It was also noticed that some other apps within the Nimiq ecosystem, like nimiq.space, have dealt with this by adding a permanent bottom padding/spacing to work around it. This approach was tried as well, but it made the app look pretty off/odd visually, so it wasn't used as a final fix. Screenshots are attached showing how it looked, in case it's a useful reference for how others have handled it and why it wasn't used on NimJump. Not sure what's causing it exactly, but wanted to flag it in case it helps. Happy to share more details if needed. Thanks in advance for looking into this, looking forward to hearing back!

GoPool is ready to share! It's an open-source, self-hosted Nimiq staking pool that you can run on your own VPS. Both Nimiq Testnet and Mainnet are supported. 🧪 Live Testnet pool: https://pool-testnet.maestroi.cc ⚙️ What does GoPool do? You run your own Nimiq validator and people delegate their NIM to it. GoPool takes care of the pool infrastructure around it: • Tracks delegators and their stake • Tracks validator rewards • Calculates each delegator's share • Handles payouts • Provides a public pool website • Includes an operator dashboard • Supports configurable pool fees • Works with Testnet and Mainnet You keep control of the validator, wallet and infrastructure. 🚀 Run your own pool You don't need to know Go or manually configure a Nimiq RPC node. You'll need: • Ubuntu/Debian VPS • A domain pointing to the server • Enough NIM to register your validator For your first installation, I'd recommend Testnet. Install: curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Beardsoft/GoPool/master/scripts/install.sh | sudo bash -s -- --domain pool.yourname.com --network test-albatross The installer sets everything up and gives you a setup URL where you configure your pool name, fee and validator. Once you're comfortable with the full register → election → rewards → payout flow, you can deploy it on Mainnet as well. 🔐 Important Back up this file somewhere safe and offline: /opt/gopool/.secrets/wallet.json This wallet controls your validator. If you lose both the server and the backup, you lose access to the validator. 💻 Open source + full setup instructions: https://github.com/Beardsoft/GoPool I'd love to see some people spin up their own Testnet pools, run through the full flow and report any issues or ideas. If you've wanted to run your own Nimiq staking pool without having to build all the infrastructure around it yourself, give GoPool a try!

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.

I’ve been pushing TipWall across social media relentlessly but I’m not getting the result I hoped for. I’ll keep pushing regardless because giving up isn’t an option. I built TipWall to solve a problem and I’ll make sure it serves it purpose.

62 builders submitted a Mini App in Cycle 1 and we're genuinely curious how everyone found their way here. Vote below and let us know. If your answer is Other, drop it in the comments. We'd love to hear it! 👇
