NXT COMMUNITY

Introducing The Ardor and Nxt Group (ANG)

This week the Nxt Foundation announced the launch of the Ardor and Nxt Foundation (ANG) with the mission statement of

“To provide the users, project owners, and businesses around the Nxt and Ardor ecosystem with a better environment to collaborate, communicate, and utilize Nxt and Ardor blockchain technology and be more active while maximizing the benefits gained by the community.”

The Nxt Foundation was originally created to be a point-of-contact for businesses interested in using the technology, which Jelurida will now become as they themselves are the developers. However, the Nxt Foundation has expanded its role in the past few years, including but not limited to, providing and supporting community tools, such as Nxtforum, the Nxt and Ardor subreddits, and multiple others, in addition to helping users directly as well as working on expanding the community itself.

Travin Keith writes:

With the decline in the role of speaking with interested parties on behalf of Jelurida, we believe that the shift to focusing on the community is a natural progression. To reflect these recent changes, the Nxt Foundation launched the ANG, which will be an initiative to provide the community with a better environment, such as organizing meetups around the world, as well as to provide a better ecosystem for the projects that use Nxt and Ardor blockchain technology.

We @ Nxter.org welcome the initiative and look forward to working with the ANG.

IGNIS ICO

The penultimate round of the IGNIS ICO is over. Next week the ultimate round will be for sale with up to 160,000,000 JLRDA* available for purchase at a rate of 1.45 NXT : 1 JLRDA. It is not too late to support Jelurida and their efforts. Remember, the more money that is raised in this ICO the more time and resources Jelurida will devote towards supporting and developing Nxt, Ignis and the Ardor platform.

With the announcement that the Ardor mainnet will launch on Jan. 1, the JLRDA tokens will instantly revert to IGNIS tokens at this moment and will be freely fungible. Also, users holding NXT at the time of the Nxt blockchain snapshot will get 0,5 IGNIS per 1 NXT they hold in their account. The Snapshot will be taken on the 25th December 2017.

Ignis ICO Schedule Dates JLRDA tokens for sale Price of 1 JLRDA in NXT Aug 05 – Aug 12 60,000,000 0.40 Aug 26 – Sep 02 80,000,000 0.55 Sep 09 – Sep 16 100,000,000 0.76 Sep 23 – Oct 21 100,000,000 1.05 Oct 28 – Nov 04 up to 100,000,000* 1.45

Ardor vs. the Competition, Pt. 5: Stratis

A sixth article in the “Ardor vs. the Competition” series was published last week. This installment covers Stratis, a new going-to-be Blockchain-as-a-Service (BaaS) platform based on the Bitcoin protocol.

Segfaultsteve writes about the benefits of Ardor versus other competing blockchain solutions, that are explored in great depth. His first post highlighted the technological supremacy Ardor has over Plasma, the next installment talked about the LISK blockchain and the functionality provided by it, the third compared Ardor against NEM/Mijin/Catapult. The fourth covered IOTA and the debacle with the code base, and 2 weeks ago his post covered Waves, the Nxt-like decentralized exchange (DEX).

3rd-Party MyNXT.info Wallet will Shutdown by the End of 2017

MyNxt wallet users, be prepared to migrate your account or move your tokens. MyNxt announced last week the closure of their web wallet because of no clear path to monetization and massive usage of the Nxt light client feature and the Jelurida public node. Users have until the end of 2017 to export their passphrase or their holdings. Accounts will function normally until the end of November 2017.

In their words:

*IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT FROM MYNXT WALLET*

https://wallet.mynxt.info Due to the wide usage of the Nxt light client feature and the Jelurida public node, the lack of manpower for development and support, and no clear path to profitability, MyNxt is closing new user registrations and will phase out the MyNxt web wallet feature by the end of 2017. New users can download the Nxt Client or use the Jelurida public Nxt node instead. Existing users will be able to operate the MyNxt wallet normally until the end of November and will be able to export their Nxt accounts until the end of 2017. For instructions about how to continue using your Nxt accounts outside of the MyNxt wallet, check our FAQ page: https://wallet.mynxt.info/faq.php Thank you all for your support! We hope to continue to see you as both Nxt and Ardor move forward!

Janus – Status Update

An update from our friends Janus on their new JNSHash Mining project. According to current projections, they will have a more than decent farm up and running by November! Good job guys, we are excited to see this project and we raise our warm beverages to you!

Bjorn wrote:

We will be constructing the last Nvidia rig we can squeeze in before BTC gold, this is of course a highly speculative coin, I personally feel it’s unlikely to be unprofitable but it could go either way, high risk/reward as all crypto usually is. One thing I should mention, although the past isnt a perfect indicator, often a large BTC dominance eventually pours back into altcoins it may seem rough at first but this could also translate into a second 12 month mining boom cycle. If this occurs then JNSHash could perform very unexpectedly well. As our team is also in this good times and bad, let’s cross our fingers we make the right choices in terms of highest output and I maybe get to keep some of my hair in the process some speculative coins could go high, it’s not impossible, if not we can remain steady on the tried and true ones either way. Ok that is all, again enjoy your time with your families, stay well.

SuperNet Asset Migration From Nxt AE

Last week SuperNet announced they will be migrating from the Nxt AE to Komodo. The asset transfer swaps will be open until March 1st 2018. The Nxt community originally supported c-developer jl777 and SuperNET with 5% of the entire NXT marketcap.

Vanbreuk wrote:

jl777 has published today this update and asked me to manage the communication with the Nxt community. I will take care of the user support in the Nxt side, so for any doubts about how to send the assets please ask in this topic. However, here’s the available information in clear bullet points: How to send your assets for migration? Send your assets to NXT-MRBN-8DFH-PFMK-A4DBM, the official SuperNET account in Nxt, adding to the asset transfer a permanent message (make sure you check the “Message is Never Deleted” option under the message box in the Nxt Client) with the destination Komodo address where you want your tokens to be delivered when the swaps are processed. To obtain a Komodo address if you don’t have one, check the Komodoplatform website for upcoming new download links for the Agama wallet. Advanced users can try the Komodod client repository. IMPORTANT: If you have any doubts or support requests for the Agama wallet or Komodo in general, please go to the SuperNET Slack and ask in the #agama or #komodo channels. This NxtForum topic is ONLY to provide user support for sending the Nxt assets to swap correctly. The transfer of the new tokens to Komodo addresses will start to be processed by jl777 in December, and the swap process will be open until March 1st, 2018. For other announcement details, please check the quote in the top of this post. If you have any doubts, please ask and I will contact jl777 if necessary.

Lior Yaffe in Medium – Ardor Full Node on Android

Hallelujah, an Android full node has been tested successfully for Ardor. With Android 8 (Oreo) you can run a full Nxt or Ardor node on any device that runs Android, which will be most of our electronics and appliances, and maybe even our future robot overlords. Either way, this is great news for the entire ecosystem.

Lior wrote:

Now with Android Studio 3.0 getting closer to a stable release with full Java 8 support, the Jelurida developers decided to give it a try and it works quite well. Naturally there are some limitations, the main one being that your device has to Support Android 8 (Oreo) which is currently only supported by few brand new devices. Also the JavaFX desktop wallet is not supported on Android but this is not a major concern since we can merge the existing Apache Cordova wallet app with the full node to provide a visual wallet. Being able to run a full blockchain node on Android may not seem like high priority at the moment, but in few years when Android is integrated into virtually every device, and data connection is nearly unlimited, every car, TV and refrigerator will be able to run Ardor and NXT full nodes and you’ll be able to always carry your full node with you in your pocket.

Catalist.co Interviewed Riker in “Even an Unknown Programmer from Hadera can Raise Millions Without any Supervision”

Calcalist, one of the biggest financial news sites in Israel, interviewed Riker last week. The humor-filled article is, as of publishing, only available in Hebrew, but should soon be translated into English and other languages. The article wanted to interview a widely regarded blockchain expert, Lior, after the Israeli programmer raised millions in an ICO.

Quotes from Riker:

Calcalist is a very popular web site in Israel, one of the 3 most popular financial sites, and linked to the most popular news site (ynet.co.il) I will translate it later unless someone do it first, it’s written with a lot of humor. The title reads “Even an unknown programmer from Hadera (my home town) can raise millions without any supervision” Then “Lior Yaffe a Java programmer without business experience raised already 7-8 million euro during the ICO of the Ignis coin, and its not over yet. ‘Anyone who is telling some nonsense story on blockchain raises 100’s millions dollars. We have real technology’ he says.”

Medium – Long-term and Passionless? Get back to the Moon and Beyond, Ignite that Passion!

Blockchain enthusiast, R0bInI0, wrote a passionate piece on Ardor. He describes the revolutionary nature of the platform and the problems that are solved by it, such as the infamous blockchain bloat problem.

Ardor (ARDR) is a blockchain-as-a-service platform, like Stratis and Ark are but completely different. Ardor is the first that has solved the blockchain bloat and scaling issues that every blockchain and blockchain platform like Ethereum and Bitcoin faces out there today.
