Reserved. Bought some ignis. Best prise for investing.

Glad to see NXT still  is on the mix with ARDOR. It was really promising back then . As it were top 5 on coinmarketcap for almost 2 years. It kinda faded when more technologies came into play. But with ARDOR there are some things that up in their sleeves worth looking forward to.

NXT ist the original blockchain, created in late 2013 or early 2014. Today it could be called a legacy chain, but anybody can use it for the purposes they want.

ARDR is the main coin of the successor blockchain (originally called NXT 2.0) started in early 2018. ARDR were granted to all NXT holders at a specific snapshot.

IGNIS is an "official" token on the ARDR chain which uses the child chain mechanism and is meant to be used for payments, minor tokens, and so on, as its transaction fees are meant to be lower than ARDR's and its transactions can be pruned.

The NXT ICO (it could be called as such) which is the root of the wealth on all 3 chains only got them about 20-25 BTC, which in 2013/14 were worth about ~$1000 or less, so their total income from that was likely 10-20K USD. So it wasn't comparable to the ICOs of 2017. However, as it's almost sure that they also participated in their own ICO, I think they made good money anyway if they sold some of their coins at NXT's peak.

The only other premine was the IGNIS premine in 2018 which was 50% of the supply, from which the majority were sold in a second ICO (for ARDR or NXT, I don't remember well). IGNIS however crashed pretty fast in 2018, so while I guess they made some money with that, it also were not big amounts compared to other ICOs of that time.

What is the practical meaning of the NXT-ARDR-IGNIS trio? The owners quarreled. But they made good money on premine.

It is a platform that still has a lot to grow, it needs greater adoption, I always liked NXT a lot and I also like ARDOR a lot, it would be great to see more people using it, not just speculating. The platform has many aggregated services.

After a looooooong sleep Ardor seems to be recovering. 60% up this week up to >200M market cap, and again stable in the top 100 of the "coins" (excluding tokens ARDR is at #67 now). Still a long way to go to a new ATH though. Even if I question the often-mentioned "ATH" of >2 billion - this value was reached only in a situation where the availability of ARDR was extremely restricted because of the mainchain launch and the freeze of the token. I would place the "real" ATH more near 1-1,5 billion.

My opinion has become more critical to coins with a centralized development model, but ARDR has a more interesting concept than 95% of the other coins of this category. In some way, it predates the SHOM (Sidechain headers on mainchain) concept considered to scale Bitcoin. It is also the first convincing application of the "mini blockchain scheme" (I can elaborate if someone is interested). Tl;dr: it's one of the best attempts so far to scale a blockchain, even if it has some minor flaws. So I reckon it can return to the top 100 or even top 50.

Thanks for insight sir !

It looks like there is no need to block tokens, this is a program to support the network.


There is a technical question - as I understand it, the port for exchanging with the network can change. For example, I have a network behind a firewall, where the rule works - "everything that is clearly not allowed is prohibited." The question is - which port forwarding do I need to do on the router so that the node can interact with the network?

Looking forward to this question too

Thanks for the information ! I assumed that the Java project should be cross-platform, but allowed some "nuances", unfortunately ARM64 has not yet received support at the x86 / x64 level. And another question - as I understand it, to connect to this project, the node must "hold" a certain amount of coins, this is the PoS platform. If yes - how many tokens are needed to freeze on a node?

Hello ! Where can I get information about the reward program and the technical requirements for running the nodes for this program? And yet - can ARDOR nodes be run on the ARM64 platform? Is the project also written in Java like Next?

Jelurida wrote at Sep 30 : "We are happy to announce that our successful #Ardor & #Nxt node rewards program will continue at least until the end of 2020! A total of 7500 IGNIS will be distributed daily to users running full Ardor and/or Nxt nodes!". I really hope they will continue with this reward program also in 2021 year, as this is still one of few things on ARDR blockchain, that make a perfect sense.

But now (for ca 12 hours) reward program is out of order -- maybe some technical maintenance due to new version of Ardor client (2.3.3) ? But I haven't found single word about this as here, as on ardorforum.org - where is till now also no single word about that 2.3.3 version in "Ardor Software Releases" section. This lack of communication thru the "classical channels" is sad.

Where can I get information about the TODAY'S economic model of the project, and especially - what is the economic benefit from launching and supporting the nodes ?

I thought it was more of a platform/reward system for Bridge, not that they were going to set it up as a gambling platform?

As for whether any of it matters... I expect not. It's a step above 'chesscoin' as Jelurida has a Bridge partner, but it's not exactly earth-shattering news there. I wasn't aware of a huge Bridge community out there all clamoring for a crypto on-chain version of the game.

You can use the lite wallet, so you won't have to worry about the full blockchain.
