Would like to hear more about the overall marketing plan for Ardor. Should we start to see more articles soon or will it start to come in when the snapshotting hits  in mid July?

at the moment i am using NRS Version: 1.8.3 for OS X. When will there be a 1.9-version for OS X available?

Not sure if its a great branding thought, Ardor means sting in spanish. And usually has a bad cognotation, like if somone has a string on an issue, he is mad for it and wants revenge.
Or if someone suffers from a fall and scratch its leg and you apply alcohol to the wound it will create a sharp sting feeling.

For those wishing to test, here is experimental release 1.9.1e.
It fixed a UI bug in 1.9.0e.

We're very happy to get such a positive response to Ardor and we trust we'll deliver a good platform.

If you are or have a business and would like more information about Ardor and the possibilities of Child Chains, please send me a PM

Although I must admin, it has been a good week for NXT price. Almost doubled in a week compared to BTC.

You bet its not. It is a reward or incentive hodling NXT. Much like a polymorphic digital asset. Nxt is turning out to be pretty cool. Hope more of this happen in 2.0

Not really tbh.
This is not an ICO, and it lacks the high level speculation aspect and potential to make 5-10x amount of money in a very short amount of time, like so many other projects out there.
That seem to be what attracts most interest these days.

Just in case other replies haven't addressed this for you, and to sum things up for late arrivals (please correct me if something is not accurate)

1) Starting july 14, hourly snapshots of NXT balance will be taken for all Nxt network accounts. This will last for three months. At Nxt network block 1,000,000 (due for October 12th) every Nxt account will receive an amount of Ardor assets equal to the average of all the snapshots taken. Your account still keeps the NXT you are holding at that block, as usual. And from that moment, Ardor assets become tradable in the Nxt asset exchange.

2) When Ardor network goes online next year, the ARDR tokens for the main chain will be distributed according to the number of Ardor assets held in each Nxt account at the moment of launch. This main chain and the ARDR tokens are the backbone securing the whole network including all child chains transactions.

3) At the same time of launch, tokens for the first Ardor child chain (the transactional token, name to be determined but so far referred to as "FNX" in discussions) will also be distributed to each account. The ratio will be 0.5 "FNX" for each NXT in the Nxt account balance at the time of Ardor launch. The other half of these first child chain tokens are held for platform development and funding.

4) The Nxt (1.0) network goes on as it is. So the amount of NXT held in every Nxt account are still there with the Nxt 1.0 features after Ardor (Nxt 2.0) has launched.

In short,

1 NXT >>> 1 ARDR + 0.5 "FNX" + 1 NXT
 

Anyone else surprised we haven't seen an even bigger buy-in?  People are willing to throw thousands of BTC at unproven ICOs and here we have a major upgrade to an established project.

Intriguing look forward to see this become notable

No, value in assets does not count, only balance of NXT in account.

Maybe a dumb question here but the snapshot is only on the effective balance without assets or the total balance counting assets owned?
