Nxt/Ardor Forums

A new Ardor forum is about to launch. Back in November 2017, we echoed about the ANG’s intention to launch a new specific forum for Ardor, as an addition to nxtforum.org. This forum seems to be ready to test over the next week before it goes live. We applaud it and we will recommend community members to frequent it for Ardor related content. Community and ANG member VanBreuk has almost singlehandedly created this twin forum – all credit to him for his great work!

VanBreuk stated:

There will be an Ardor twin forum soon. Using the same database/userbase as Nxtforum, but with some different boards and index. The project had been started last year, and it spent time on hold due to lack of time (no one working on it but me, when I could) and organizational changes, but now the ANG has just blessed the project and asked me to finish it, so I’m getting back to work on it. I’m finishing a new version of Nxtforum that works as two-headed forum, the classic Nxtforum with minor changes and a new Ardor forum that shares common ground, history and users with Nxtforum while using different sections and layout, under the same back end. I’m doing this because I am the only administrator left in Nxtforum for both back and front end. And if it has taken longer it is mostly because among others I was operating also the myNXT web wallet, and all the closure process brought a huge workload. Now there’s more available time, and it was also important that the ANG aligned with it. And of course help and contributions are welcome, this next week we’ll need to do some testing before the final move. Epecially for the new Ardor forum, help with moderation (and anything, basically) will also be good and healthy.

Exchanges

New listings, and votes to cast. We need to continue to spread the word to exchanges that we want to see ARDR and IGNIS listed.

Lescovex

Last week we heard that Ardor (ARDR) is going to be listed on the new Lescovex exchange. Great job community, this is because of your persistent and determined voting!

We can continue to comment and vote to Lescovex and ask for them to list NXT and IGNIS: You can upvote NXT, and IGNIS daily to tell Lescovex to also list these tokens:

https://lescovex.featureupvote.com/suggestions/5716/nxt-the-blockchain-application-platform

https://lescovex.featureupvote.com/suggestions/5772/ignis-coin

Lescovex is a new exchange, based in Switzerland, that will go live right after their ICO ends on the 19th of April.

Bithumb

Bithumb, a major Korean exchange, is holding a survey including recommendations for coins to add. Korea is an important ARDR market; UpBit currently has the second highest ARDR trading volume, just below Bittrex. Bithumb has announced that they plan to put crypto ATMs throughout South Korea so this would be a good one to get ARDR/IGNIS/NXT listed on.

Let your voice be heard:

Bitbns

You can now buy/sell ARDR using the bitbns exchange: https://bitbns.com/ardor/ Bitbns is an Indian cryptocurrency trading platform. The Bitbns team are “dedicated to offering investors not only a secure, simple and a fair crypto exchange, but also promise to safeguard individual asset and trading information.” Hopefully this leads to ARDR becoming highly traded in the growing Indian market.

BUSINESSES ON ARDOR

Triffic Update

Great news for the community and upcoming Ardor businesses: the Triffic (Coinerz) team, who will soon launch their ICO on Ardor, will open source their upcoming ICO payment system, which has an inbuilt KYC and affiliate system. They must think highly of ARDR if they give a 10% discount for buying into the ICO with it. Also, there will be a 5% discount for those that pay with NXT and IGNIS.

Triffic is a gamified GPS app on the blockchain that rewards you whenever you travel to a location, redeem vouchers, sell items or book a hotel or taxi.

Coinerz stated:

Hello all, just a quick heads up regarding the Triffic ICO – whilst we will be accepting payments in BTC, ETH, ARDR, IGNIS and NXT, we are giving people a 10% bonus if they pay in ARDOR and a 5% bonus if they pay in IGNIS or NXT. Also, the ICO payment system that we have created which has built in KYC and affiliate system, we will be shortly open-sourcing so that other companies can also issue ICO’s using Ardor ecosystem.

Finance Magnates – Meet the Modular Toolset Simplifying Blockchain Integration for Companies

This article promotes the modular architecture of Nxt and Ardor and how they are a flexible platform to develop business applications for many use cases. They promote that the codebase for both is Java, a business standard programming language that makes it ideal for businesses – unlike Ethereum which has a proprietary language. Lastly, the unique parent-child chain architecture, of Ardor, is explained and highlighted as this makes Ardor the best business scalable solution due to the pruning capabilities.

They wrote:

WatchTower – Ardor, a Tour Through Utopia (I) This guest piece for Nxter.org promotes the great things that can be done with an Ardor blockchain marketplace, such as the one on Ignis. The control and security of these marketplaces are underappreciated. Ardor offers many great features for its child chains, of which all are available on Ignis, and this piece illustrates concrete examples of the marketplace and account control functionality. Ardor is much more than a token, it is a BaaS ecosystem. Watchtower wrote: So, Ardor allows you to have a blockchain marketplace where anyone can buy and sell physical and digital items. The Marketplace is already a part of the Ignis child chain and any other child chain to be established under Ardor shall possess this great feature. This is cryptocurrency renewed, this is adorable, this is Ardor. … It is well known that security is key to the success of any business -online and offline. In the case of online businesses, like operations in the crypto-land, it is always of great need and emphasis with the aim of protecting online actors, avoiding exploitation and manipulation of various kinds. Therefore, it is for this reason that Ardor and it’s child chains possess the Account Control feature, which is a security measure that ensures that access is rightfully restricted and unapproved transactions are prohibited. You can read another one of WatchTower’s posts here on Nxter.

Beyond the primary solutions that these products bring to the ecosystem, to have thrived on all fronts within the past few years where so many projects have fallen by the wayside places Jelurida up there with the likes of Bitcoin and Ethereum.
