Hi all, I built Zamu for Cycle III. A chama is a rotating savings group: everyone puts in the same amount each week or month, and one person takes the whole pot each round until everyone has had a turn. In Kenya they usually run on trust, a WhatsApp group and one treasurer who holds the cash. Zamu takes the treasurer out. Inside Nimiq Pay, each member taps Pay on their share. Nimiq Pay pays a Lightning invoice with NIM or USDT (payLightningInvoice), and the shillings arrive in the recipient's M-Pesa. A share only shows as paid when the M-Pesa receipt code comes back, and the whole group can open every receipt. Also in it: - everyone signs the chama agreement (order, amount, schedule) with nimiq.sign(), verified on the server - an optional rule skips a member's turn until they've paid everything they owe - on-time records for each member - keep NIM staked for your next shares - English and Swahili - a demo chama for anyone outside Kenya, no money involved Open it in Nimiq Pay: Mini Apps → Custom URL → zamu.prashantthakur.dev Video: https://youtu.be/l7_HeIk76Ig Code (MIT): https://github.com/Prashant-thakur77/Zamu Feedback very welcome, especially from anyone who's in a chama. If you want to try a real round, reply and I'll share an invite code.

You have about 3 - 4h left to submit your mini app to Cycle 3! 👀 The deadline is today at 11:59pm UTC. Make sure you convert that in your own timezone to figure out the exact time. We are so proud of everyone that shipped already and that is planning to in these last hours!! Submit early don't wait at the last second. There might be a technical issue or a delay. You never know, so do it before. And if you guys have any issues, please tag me and Yasmine so we can see your question and answer you before the deadline. Happy end of Cycle 3! 💃

Spent part of my morning checking out and testing some of the mini apps built, and I'm genuinely impressed by the creativity, effort and innovation we are bringing to the table. So many interesting ideas and thoughtful implementations. Great work, to all of us! 👏
