Did I hear someone say 3 days?
Nobody can say Ardor's distribution isn't fair, anyone can get a stake after buying Nxt before the snapshots end.
Even NXT's biggest critics will have trouble arguing against your statement.
I think thire team is pretty good，I will support them
There's only five days left to get Nxt before the Ardor snapshots start. The price has stabilized for the last week but it won't last after the snapshots start. Nobody will be selling afterwards, and the buying will increase the price.

what are the pros/cons of Ardor vs Ethereum?
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.
So how is Ardor different to the other blockchain platforms like Ethereum, Lisk and Waves? And why do you think a company should choose to use Ardor over the 3 mentioned?
Nxt and Ardor very specifically did not go for scriptable Smart Contracts. There are several reasons for not doing so:
1. You have no way of controlling the quality of the code. This can lead to unfortunate results and create huge problems.
2. A large portion of the market has need for out of the box solutions, not custom ones. Nxt and Ardor offer hardcoded and modular Smart contracts (or smart transactions) which are tested and secure. For most SME's these cover a lot of use cases and are more cost effective.
3. Lisk is still in development: Nxt already works, and has been operational for 2,5 years. Ardor will use the same tech. If a company wants to use software that's tested and tried, it should go to Nxt or Ardor (depending on the use case).
4. Waves is also still in development. Same argument as before. The idea might be sound, there is no way to predict now whether it will pull off its promise.
The child chain architecture is unique to Ardor. Lisk and Waves do not have it, neither does Ethereum. Bloat is a problem that all of them have and Ardor is the system that is concentrating on it.

Let's see what Ardor can do. Interesting times ahead...
There is a new website for Nxt newbies who want a stake in Ardor. It's extremely professional looking and makes it easy to buy into Nxt for an Ardor stake. There's less than a week to claim full stakes and that site will make sure newbies don't miss out.
Marenkar has just finished the first version of our newest site https://www.ardorplatform.org/!
The site is at this moment meant as an easy way into Nxt and thus into Ardor.
It has counters, and points to the exchanges where people can buy Nxt as well as a link to Bitpanda, where you can send people who want to buy Nxt with fiat.
The site will be expanded over time, and ideas are always welcome.

Too complicated timing... It will probably be exactly when btc starts its rising after the initial price adjustments .
The Ardor announcement thread OP has a nice countdown showing the days left until we start getting given free Ardor for having Nxt. Only six days left now.

Poloniex, BTC38, and Bittrex have agreed to give their customers Ardor for Nxt held in their accounts during the snapshot period.

Major exchanges Poloniex, BTC38, and Bittrex have also agreed to participate snapshot and distribution process being the Ardor creation, allowing users who don’t have an NXT wallet to still benefit from this campaign
Can I keep my nxt in poloniex account and still receive ardor?
Poloniex agreed to grant ardor tokens if you keep nxt with them, but there is always a chance you can be goxxed on exchanges.

Every day people delay buying after that they will miss out on some free Ardor coins for the Nxt in their wallet. Those who don't buy some Nxt will be complaining they missed out on the free coins when Ardor coins are released onto the market.
6 days.
Thanks you for your help, but that is precisely what Im doing. Im logging out by clocking that button. It takes me back to the home screen, but it never prompts me for a passphrase to log back in. It just says "select account to log in with" and once I click the account, it logs in automatically...no passphrase needed.
Completely misunderstood your question
