to help me understand there will be a snapshot of the nxt blockchain in dec and for every nxt you get 0.5 ignes?
Do we have to keep the nxt in the wallet to get ignes coin? thanks for the info look quite interesting to me
At Nxt block 1630000, expected on Christmas day, a snapshot will get for each account
1) The NXT balance, and will return 0.5 IGNIS / 1 NXT
2) The JLRDA coin balance (the token used in the ICO sale from Jelurida), and will return 1 IGNIS / 1 JLRDA
3) The ARDR asset balance, and will return 1 main chain Ardor token / 1 ARDR
All the supply will be distributed like this, so all the accounts with NXT will get IGNIS. What is important here is that you have the passphrase for the account where your NXT/JLRDA/ARDR are, because the same passphrase will unlock the account in Ardor main net where the new coins have been placed.
In principle everyone should have the passphrase for their Nxt accounts. One exception might be users of the
myNXT web wallet, that in order to have the passphrase for the account they operate with myNXT they need to download a wallet backup. Since the myNXT web wallet closes at the end of 2017, all myNXT users who haven't downloaded a copy of their wallet should do it ASAP. This, or sending their NXT to an accout they hold the passphrase for.
