The Nxt Foundation has become an affiliate member of the Linux Foundation.

Nxt has always been an advocate of Open Source software, as the licensing under the GPL v2 also shows.

We want to be in contact with people who are like minded and therefore have formed this partnership.

The Linux Foundation just formally announced our membership.  Smiley

What is the reason why NXT decided to create a child chain? Isn't NXT enough already or is there a technical reason why? Could this be a sort of "reboot" for marketing purposes.

In a glance this looks like a move driven by marketing reasons since NXT really went anywhere in that regard.

Running a blockchain is costly and many entities don't have the expertise.
They would like to use a blockchain to solve various problems and not worry about security, blockchain maintenance, volatile coin rates. In Nxt 2.0 they will get specialized blockchains with custom features, for instance they can peg their custom blockchain token to one USD or cowry shell, or their custom blockchain will be feature tailored to their specialized usage. It's a blockchain as a service thing. They will pay block fees to the global network of ARDOR token holders when they must make a hashes record of their custom child chain operations into the main chain. It's a 'focus on your job without all the worries that come with running a blockchain' customer-oriented solution. Transactional throughput will grow manyfold.

Hi, everything about Ardor sounds very interesting.

I just wanna make sure I understand how snapshotting works correctly:
Say I have 1000 NXT in my wallet at the beginning of snapshotting on July 14th and I will move them away October 11th = 1 day before snapshotting ends.
  Will I get (about) 989 Ardors or zero?

All those who hold an amount of NXT will also get a piece of Ardor. Snapshots will start be taken on an hourly basis, starting on July 14th to October 12th. Then, your total NXT will be averaged, and you'll receive that amount in Ardor tokens on October 12th, which will be freely tradeable up until the Ardor system launches.

We are making great headway in being recognised in the actual industries we are changing.

Asset Servicing Times is the go-to industry resource for free news, views and opinion on securities services and asset servicing.

We spoke to them a few months ago and they included Nxt in their Tech Handbook.

Turn to page 33 to read all about it: http://assetservicingtimes.com/astimes/AST_Tech_Handbook2016.pdf

What goes for Nxt, goes for Ardor, so good times!
