1.9.0e released!
https://nxtforum.org/nrs-releases/nrs-v1-9-0e/Key points from the changelog:
This is an experimental release. It is a required update for all testnet nodes,
optional for main net.
This release enables taking multiple snapshots of accounts NXT balances, every
60 blocks, for a period of 90 days, and distributing an ARDR token based on the
average of those balances, at the end of the snapshot, to be used for the Ardor
consensus chain token distribution in Nxt 2.0.
On testnet, the snapshot will start at block 649400 and end at block 779000
(June 24).
On mainnet, the snapshot will start at block 870400 (expected July 14) and end
at block 1000000 (Oct 12).
To get your ARDR tokens, it is essential that you keep your NXT balance in your
own account. There is no need to run a node or forge. It is the confirmed NXT
balance that is used for the snapshot, not the unconfirmed (available) balance,
so having some NXT locked in open AE bid orders, shufflings, etc, will not
affect your ARDR distribution. For balances on exchange accounts, it will be up
to each exchange to handle the re-distribution of the ARDR tokens that will get
automatically sent to the exchange account at snapshot end.
On the quote above: the Nxt Foundation will be in contact with exchanges to help out with this process. Will keep you updated.
