I have NXT desktop, to stake what do i need to do? Just log in and leave it open?

Open Source is not the same than "you can read the source". There are clear standards for Open Source. OSI and FSF are the most important.

The JPL does not fit neither of the two definitions, because it restricts the modification of the code. It basically says that "for certain modifications you must pay the holders of the currency" and that is clearly not compatible with OSI/FSF. It has a reason why the devs have deleted the term "open source" from ardorplatform.org and nxt.org.

But I don't want to repeat over and over the discussion. I've already stated my concerns in the NXT Forum. If Jelurida wants to be short-sighted and make its software propietary - it's their decision. But they will also have to face the consequences. I seriously doubt that with such a restrictive license NXT/Ardor will gain any traction.

You are telling the truth.
I guess when d5000 said "NXT is now Open Source anymore", he meant it becomes centralized.
Anyway, whatever he said is wrong.

Few weeks after Ignis ICO. www.jelurida.com/ico

What is that, according to you: https://bitbucket.org/Jelurida/nxt/src? Nxt is and always was opens source, same will be with Ardor, when it will go live.

When will Ardor Genesis Snapshot take place?

I agree, decentralisation is the top priority, otherwise crypto has no point.

I am very disappointed that not even NXT is now Open Source anymore. BCNext would probably turn in his grave. Even NEM is now a more decentralized option than NXT.

I am considering to fork away with an 1.11.5 node on the hard fork block and contribute to mantain the original chain. Or directly to start a clean fork based on a snapshot, to avoid all the hassles. Jelurida is risking that NXT will also have its "Bitcoin Cash" drama.

v1.11.6 is now released https://nxtforum.org/index.php?topic=13853.0

Changelog:
IMPORTANT LICENSING CHANGE:

The Nxt software is now distributed under the Jelurida Public License (JPL)
version 1.0 for the Nxt Public Blockchain Platform. The full text of the JPL
is in the LICENSE.txt file (use JPL-NRS.pdf for a printable version).

The client UI remains under the MIT license.

This release is a mandatory upgrade. A hard fork will be scheduled at the
Ardor Genesis Snapshot block, expected to be set some time after the end of
the IGNIS token sale. At that time, nodes running 1.11.5 or older will be left
on a fork.

Added IGNIS Token Sale page. See https://www.jelurida.com/ico for latest token
sale terms and schedule.

Added support for the Changelly cryptocurrency exchange.

Added code to disable trading or transferring of assets that will be migrated
to Ardor after the Ardor Genesis Snapshot, and delete open ask/bid orders for
them at that time. Currently such assets and their ids are:

ARDR: 12422608354438203866
Bitswift: 12034575542068240440
Janus: 4348103880042995903
JanusXT: 14572747084550678873
ComJNSXT: 13363533560620557665

Added support for printing a "paper wallet" when creating a new account and
from the account details modal.

Added a custom installer panel that allows to: shutdown NXT server if it is
running; remove existing installation; customize conf/nxt.properties by
choosing from a fixed set of settings.

The pre-defined installer settings are taken from property files under
conf/examples. The installer makes sure no settings are in conflict.

Added password recovery tool for brute forcing partially forgotten or mistyped
passphrases. Use the passwordRecovery.sh or passwordRecovery.bat script to run,
after first setting the known password text fragments and guesses dictionary in
nxt.properties. See nxt-default.properties for configuration details.

Added ability to display a custom warning message on the login screen,
configurable as nxt.customLoginWarning.

Added active shufflings notification in the header bar.

Added image loading progress bar to the lock screen.

Performance optimizations when under higher transaction load.

Monetary System UI improvements and bugfixes.

API gzip filter is now automatically enabled for open API nodes, unless
explicitly disabled in nxt.enableAPIServerGZIPFilter.

Support running Nxt as a Windows service.

Updated mobile app to latest Cordova Android platform.

Added IntelliJ IDE project files to folder ./ide/intellij/project, developers
working on the source code should copy the content of folder
./ide/intellij/project to the root folder of the project and open the project
from inside IntelliJ using File-Open for the project root folder.
The IntelliJ project is pre-configured with the necessary dependencies to build
and run the Java source code.
To copy the IntelliJ files to the project root folder, open a command prompt
at the project root folder and issue the following command:
Windows: xcopy /e/k/s/h ide\intellij\project .
Linux: cp -r ide/intellij/project/. .

Updated H2 to version 1.4.196, bouncy castle to 1.57, and jetty to 9.3.20.
Delete the old lib folder first if unpacking on top.

It's not yet confirmed, that some exchange will help with Ignis distribution. Last year main exchanges helped with ARDR asset distribution, so probably they will help also with Ignis distribution. But, anyway, the safest place to keep your funds is your own wallet you control. Official NxtNRS client could be downloaded from www.nxt.org/download

I remembered you can get it even if it is in poloniex.
But I recommend you ask it on https://nxtforum.org/

hello, does anybody know if poloniex will allow users the  ignis token for holding the coin on exchange or is it only for those forging.
ive coins on exchange and in wallet.

I believe so. It hasn't been launched yet, still in testing.

ardor will up again ?

thanks for sharing. Quoted from the article:
Once the sale has elapsed or completed any remaining unsold IGNIS combined with 500 million more will be distributed to those addresses holding NXT at a rate of about 0.5 IGNIS per NXT. So even if a NXT holder did not participate in the ICO they would still receive IGNIS.

so it is possible that NXT holders who did not participate in the ICO will receive IGNIS at a rate of larger than 0.5 IGNIS per NXT.

Many things are explained by Lior Yaffe, one of the core devs interview: http://neocashradio.com/blog/nxt-ardor-ignis-ico-explained-interview-lior-yaffe-jelurida/

Ardor will for sure

Guys I don't understand what you talking about but just want to ask a question.
Do you think Nxt is going to break new record as price? 

Barrabas, can't help you, really, if you read and can't understand what you read. And yes, do not waste your time here, please.
