El Salvador’s strategy in the adoption of crypto assets has been covered in this Chinese media article, together with Lior Yaffe's comments. He confirms that the transition to Bitcoin as legal tender is a crucial decision and that the evaluation should be made in the long-term rather than on short-term price swings.

Jelurida Weekly Wins - 30 May 2022:

Lior comments about El Salvador’s Bitcoin play
This Cointelegraph article analyses whether the current drop in Bitcoin price and the crypto market volatility, in general, has somehow affected El Salvador’s strategy in the adoption of crypto assets as a legal tender and a store of value. Many blockchain and crypto experts stand in El Salvador’s favour and, among others, Lior Yaffe comments that the transition to Bitcoin as legal tender has been a strategic move to position the country as a local tech hub. The evaluation should be made in the long term, rather than on short-term price fluctuations. Besides, he's confident that in the bigger picture, a decentralised currency offers excellent benefits for small and emerging countries that may be struggling to support their local fiat.

Alberto mentioned in Forbes Spain & written press
The crypto market has begun an expected deflation, due to several factors that have affected the liquidity and confidence of the overall ecosystem. Alberto Fernandez, Jelurida blockchain expert, has been mentioned in this Forbes Spain article. He explains that two keys help avoid such a reaction mechanism when the market enters a downward cycle: the diversification and capital protection strategy. Referring to the UST and Luna crash, experts affirm that it’s not related to a failure of the blockchain technology, but rather poor planning of a specific project. Still, there are indeed scams within the crypto environment, thus three aspects must be considered: the business model offered by the whitepapers, the technical solvency and the proven experience of the project team, and the token economics if perfectly aligned with the initial business model. Alberto is also mentioned in the Spanish written press Inversion and Finanzas about “Lessons from the Terra collapse”.

Can NFT Games be fair? Bridge Champ & Play-To-Own model
Blockchain gaming is an exciting vertical in the crypto industry, and many developers are exploring new models to increase the appeal of games while maintaining the essence of online gaming: game fairness. Almost all Play-To-Earn games require players to purchase tokens or other digital assets to play, which increases the barriers to entry for new players and the concentration of wealth and assets in clubs, thus going against the decentralization spirit of the blockchain technology. For all these reasons, the Play-To-Own model remains the winning mechanism of P2E. Players will still be able to unlock rewards by levelling up in-game, and they’ll have new ways to apply these assets. This Chinese article by Deep Cloud Finance covers Bridge Champ for mastering the P2O model, as the world’s first online bridge game platform developed by Jelurida. In Bridge Champ, worldwide users can play with full transparency, all data are open and they can earn official IGNIS tokens while playing and showing excellent bridge skills.

Crowdfunding campaign Unicorn.art (UART token) — Completed!
Thank you for your participation!

https://twitter.com/ardor_world/status/1517195815340888064

i was in this shit for a bit...was going 'ok' but you could see it was all a pipedream the more you spoke to the devs.  these guys pulled the 'nice guy' scam stating all these huge promises, marketing/promo, side chain crap blahblahblah....even the devs acted like 'nice guys' always helping and trying to work with people/make deals.

Yeah Fucking Right...ALL LIES.  these american fuckers all in it for the money and they kept making all these shitcoin projects based off NXT, which they knew would amount to fuck all.  thus they just kept dragging ppl along with their shit.  pretty sad show i will say.  i hope they all eat dirt one day....i had some DM's on telegram with a couple of their main guys but they have since disappeared....of course.  these types are the fucking worst.

do not touch ANYTHING based of nxt or any coin near it like these.

New Project in Ardor Ecosystem

Unicorn.art NFT marketplace (UART token)
https://twitter.com/ardor_world/status/1512394706675773441

It seems that the forum is no longer used to report news or communicate with the community. As far as I know, Ardor is a multi-chain platform, and it has its own ecosystem, independent of NXT.

You can follow the project through this link: https://www.jelurida.com/ardor

Jelurida is the company responsible for maintaining both the NXT blockchain and the Ardor blockchain.

Is this built on the nxt blockchain or is it a standalone blockchain?

15M was not very much in the ICO frenzy in 2017. It isn't even one of the top 50, which is poor considering that NXT was once one of the leading alts. Some sources say they got ~20-25M, but it's still far from Filecoin, Tezos et al. or even something much more limited like TenX.

Yep, if they timed well they would have been able to get a lot more than 20 million, but they had a short window (basically December for February, the top of the bubble) and I don't believe there were able to sell that many NXT for these prices. I still consider the outcome better than in most other ICOs. They delivered the Ardor code on time and kept updating it. Marketing has been poor however. And yes, I definitively also agree with @xenon131 that the ecosystem is still very, very thin.

Anyway, I'm not longer supporting the ICO-based altcoin model. It always leads to excessive centralism, which is the root of the marketing problem (no word-of-mouth propaganda like it occured with Bitcoin, instead everything is expected to be done by the developer group, and if they fail with it, the coin can fail too).

I think devs should post the news here too, not only on  https://twitter.com/ArdorPlatform

It is basically NXT 2.0. The same developers that started NXT created Ardor.

Is this project related to NXT coin?

Jelurida actually made a a lot of money from the Ignis ICO.

They admit to making over 15M from the ICO alone.

This doesn't count the NXT/ARDR/IGNIS pump ... a lot of the ICO was paid in NXT, which conveniently had like a 10x runup (against btc) right after the ICO ended.

They made out like bandits.

Don't count Ignis useless. It is for forging and has an economic value attached to it . Sure enough NXT team has some innovations to make the token more appealing to the crypto mass. 

Hint: Cryptocurrencies do not only exist to "make money". There is also an action called "payment". (Large parts of the sh*tcoin circus may see that different, but I'm not considering myself part of that group. They may make or lose money, I don't care.) (SCNR)
