So with IGNIS, if ive been holding NXT since the start, i will be awarded with IGNIS tokens in much the same way as ardor?
I shifted some NXT into another address a couple of weeks ago, will this affect my snapshot for the tokens?
It will be one time snapshot, not like with ARDR, which was 3 month long snapshot. Check roadmap:
https://www.jelurida.com/ardor-release-timelineCan someone confirm/answer please?
1 - You own NXT you got ARDR asset from average snapshot.
2 - Another single snapshot of ARDR asset is going to happen (when?) which will allocate IGNIS.
3 - how does one change both assets to real coins after ARDOR is released (when?)
All is explained in the link I provided. But, anyway:
1) ARDR snapshot and distribution already happened last year. ARDR asset is freely traded now. Another ARDR one time snapshot will happen around 25 December. After this snapshot ARDR asset will be locked for trading in Nxt blockchain. ARDR asset amount you hold in your account will appear in Ardor platform genesis (01.01.2018).
2) See point 1. for ARDR asset snapshot. For Ignis, NXT balance will be snapshotted, on 1 NXT:0.5 IGNIS basis. This will happen also on around 25 December. Ignis will appear in your account during Ardor genesis, same as with ARDR.
3) Genesis block include all snapshots as explained. The same NXT passphrase will open the same account id in Ardor platform. So, keep your passphrase safe, it is all you need in order to control your account.
