Hey everyone! I’m currently looking for some POL (Polygon), ideally at least 15 POL, to test an application I’m developing and potentially submit it to Cycle 3. But I’ve just discovered a pretty hilarious catch-22 in the process! As some of you know, I won $25 in USDC during Cycle 2. Awesome, right? Well, there’s just one little problem: I can’t swap or move those USDC without having some POL to pay the gas fees. And here’s the funny part: to swap my USDC for POL, I apparently need POL in the first place! 😂 So now I’m stuck in this ridiculous loop where I have crypto sitting in my wallet, but I can’t actually do anything with it. At this point, all I’m trying to do is get around 15 POL to test my application. Worst case, I could use some of it to swap my USDC into POL. If someone would be willing to send me 13–15 POL, I’d happily send back double the amount once I’m able to access and exchange my funds. I’ve already tried several swapping platforms, and almost every single one gives me the same message: “Insufficient POL to cover gas fees.” It’s honestly pretty incredible that you can own crypto but can’t move it because you don’t already own another crypto! 🤣 Anyway, if anyone knows a clever workaround, a gasless swap solution, or a reliable way to get a little POL without jumping through endless hoops, I’d love to hear it! Thanks in advance! 🚀 0x9431a59b2fA40A6036647FFD7e2608de4eB316Bb

Hi all, I've been building PixelDrop for a while, and it's finally at the "please try to break it" stage. So… come try to break it. 🙂(Not part of Cycle 3) www.pixeldrop.ca What is it? A file manager that sits on top of your own Pixeldrain account. Your files stay in your Pixeldrain, not in some box I own, and PixelDrop is the nice cockpit around it. No lock-in: if you leave, your files are still yours. Fun things to poke at (available for a trial period) • 🚀 Big files straight from the browser. The Chrome extension is live (the site will offer it to you): it sends any size directly to your Pixeldrain, no middleman and no size gymnastics. Edge and Firefox versions are in review and should follow soon. • 🖱️ Right-click any image or video on a web page → "Send to PixelDrop". • 📲 Send to your other devices. Right-click a file, "Send to…", and it lands on your other computer. • 🤝 Send to a friend by PixelDrop ID. They accept, then you can send each other files. • 🔗 Share links that behave: password, expiry, a visit log, download limits. • 📥 Drop Requests. Send someone a link and they upload to you, no account needed. • 🔐 TimeVault. Automatic encrypted backups of folders on your computer. The key never leaves your machine. • 📱 iPhone Shortcut to share a photo to PixelDrop in two taps. • 🧩 "Save to PixelDrop" button for developers (beta). One script tag, and your site can save files into your users' own PixelDrop. Docs: www.pixeldrop.ca/developers • 🌍 Available in English, French, Spanish, German and Chinese. The deal: connect your own (free) Pixeldrain account and every feature is free for 15 days. After that, the core stays free: account, uploads, previews, downloads, and the extension for big files. The extras (sharing by link, Drop Requests, TimeVault, sending to people and devices…) need a membership. Be warned, small honest limits: without the extension, files are capped at 25 MB from a computer and 80 MB from a phone. With the extension, no cap. And yes, it's still young: you will find rough edges.

GM GM fellow builders, and our awesome organizers, it been a great journey honestly and I commend every builder in the house and everyone that has stretched forth effort! To the organizers a big kudos for listening to us and how the prizes of season 2 were spited honestly awesome., there are little concerns which I will love to talk about. NimCapsule started off from season1 and we had one of the best marketing and organic onboarding , also the best demo video and it’s a product people will love to use and people used., but somehow we couldn’t win and the team Was fair enough to tell us to reach out to know our lapses. I did., the team commended our marketing, demo video which I have screenshots but spotted our lapses which we dealt with in season 2 and also made sure we did more marketing and we ranked 200 active users., while fixing the correction we observed the team didn’t work on something’s that could enable NimCapsule, I called the teams attention and they confirmed this. I saw comments that NimCapsule isn’t working which is not true…, I still tried it now and it’s working perfectly and effectively, the detailed instruction was given on how to navigate and if followed you will surely enjoy our product.for every post made I made sure I dropped a detailed step. Lastly the team thought to honor few projects and honestly it’s not fair on our part because we were active on calls., built good product, got feedback, rebuilt and did marketing but somehow we didn’t get any form of reward. So since both first and second season we lost and even didn’t get any form of recognition., I will love to ask the NIMIQ TEAM! Where did NIMCAPSULE GO WRONG IN THE BUILD!? Thank you Oloba 🏌️‍♂️

Paying someone on Nimiq means copying a 36-character address. Pigeon turns it into a name. Send NIM to pigeon.nim, tie a payment request to a link, or split a dinner bill into stamps that get a postmark as each friend pays. Names live on Nimiq itself: no contracts, public rules anyone can check, and the first valid registration on chain wins. Every person shows with their Nimiq Identicon, and a link that fakes a name is blocked.
