July (II)

Welcome, dear Nxters and other followers!

Yes, we have entered the holiday season, if you are in the Northern hemisphere which you likely are. Less is happening, less to write about, more time to spend with the family. Right? Well, of course, we do appreciate you reading this, but is your kid (or mom!) watching you right now? Are you hanging out with someone? If not, why aren’t you? Make their holidays yours too, if you can. We will do ours and keep the summaries short for the next few weeks while still keeping you up-to-date.

Let’s forget about our greed and take care of our needs only. Good news for you, we know by chance that many Ignis Asset token issuers and Ardor child chain businesses are working hard right now, even on their holiday. What more do you need to know? Your investments are doing fine.

The ANG had many announcements, new Meetups were announced, a new Ignis puzzle!, the Triffic ICO is underway, Dominium put out a nice informational video, new info about clones, and the Chinese community is so much alive! Lior wrote about RNG with Lightweight contracts, and an impassioned plea from one of our guest writers about being a smart investor, as well as our plea for you to inform us about any IGNIS airdrop issues relating to HitBTC – just to name a few. Dig in.

Thank you for embracing us as we take you on a journey through the busy week that was, Summer style.

Last week Lior announced a new integrated third-party Nxt Wallet exchange:

Integration of ChangeNOW_io Into the NXT Wallet

Integration of @ChangeNOW_io into the $NXT wallet was implemented by @zhanghuasheng95, still waiting for our friends at @ChangeNOW_io to enable CORS for their APIs and allow selling $ARDR and $IGNIS (currently only buying is supported). Please resolve this quickly! pic.twitter.com/TyqjYSZ5qa — Lior Yaffe (@lioryaffe) July 3, 2018

Lior had enough of certain ICO’s…

Congratulations to all the new born blockchain projects! Sorry to say, your tech is already obsolete since the single ledger single token model does not scale. You might as well just cloned $NXT. The #Ardor project remains the only true multi-chain architecture in production. pic.twitter.com/0KBQ7EXJjC — Lior Yaffe (@lioryaffe) July 7, 2018

Now, let’s get to what the community has going on.

Nxter Puzzle: Japanese Kakuro

This week you can win 500 IGNIS.

First Week Solution

Marius – @madfox what was the solution to the first one ? madfox – @Marius great sent sorrow machine piece score aunt completely wild rather remove heel (both ARDOR and NXT accounts are empty now!)

Last week’s Korea themed crossword puzzle hasn’t been solved.

Last week we called Madfox the “Puzzle Master” and soon you will understand why. This week Madfox created another puzzle, and this time it is inspired by the Japanese games and culture.

Madfox wrote:

Rules are simple:

Step 1. Solve all the kakuro-puzzles and fill in all the numbers (figure 1).

Step 2. Make up the passphrase by using figure 2. Words of the passphrase consist of numbers. The order of the numbers in a word is shown by arrows. The index number of the word is the large blue number. The passphrase is 98 words long. Words must be separated by spaces.

Find the passphrase and it will give you full access to account ARDOR-9XAM-4D97-LUWU-CD53C with 500 IGNIS kindly sponsored by Ardor Nxt Group.

The Ardor and Nxt Group – Updates

Elizabeth of the ANG was busy last week!

Infographics Showing How to Run a Node, Easy Peasy + July Bounty

Yes, it is bounty time. Get free IGNIS for setting up an Ardor node this July!

Elizabeth – Earlier I saw someone with questions about setting up a node

Wonder how?

NXT

Ardor

Elizabeth announced:

ANG will give 249 Ignis to every person who sets up a node in the month of July. Let’s build our network! And it’s easy to run NXT [and ARDR] on the same server. http://www.ardornxt.group/bounties-contests/set-ardor-node

Community Ambassadors Website

Yes, we got ambassadors, and maybe you can become one too. Elizabeth wrote:

The very first step of the community ambassadors page is live. I know there will be feedback and it will probably already be on my list. I’m posting here for transparency into what I’m working on. I’m very busy with family obligations this weekend and will not be able to participate in ongoing dialog about this. But, here it is:

https://www.ardornxtcommunity.com We will replace everyone’s photo with them in their new tee shirts when they arrive and give a login for everyone to update their profiles will social info and a showcase of their projects and work. And the list is not complete. If you aren’t there and think you should be, please contact me.

BUSINESSES ON ARDOR

Triffic ICO Underway!

Last week the Triffic ICO began. The rounds are still ongoing, with the purchase price for the tokens only increasing after each round is sold. Ten percent (100,000,000) GPS tokens are available for sale during this ICO. The rest are awarded to users of the app.

Coinerz wrote:

Hello everybody. A friendly reminder that today is the last day where you can purchase GPS Tokens for $0.12. The price goes up to $0.16 for the next round. Also, our https://triffic.world website and white paper will be available in Chinese, Korean and Japanese tomorrow.

To celebrate the long-awaited launch of the Triffic ICO, we are giving away up to US$1,000,000 of GPS Tokens to people who join our white-list and then follow us on social media. (That's a TOTAL of US$1,000,000 – not US$1,000,000 to each person… that would be silly)! — Triffic (@trifficworld) July 3, 2018

Dominium

Last week we spotlighted a review of Dominium, the soon to be Ardor child chain. Real estate, great. Blockchain, great. Real estate on the blockchain? The following video does a good job introducing Dominium and explaining its use case.

The Problem Dominium Seeks To Solve

While the real estate market has a capitalization of 217 trillion USD, it does not have the adequate technologies to be a really lucrative and intuitive market for the users in a year like 2018. There are many important technologies appearing that can reduce centralization and financial barriers that affect this market. The solution can be seen on the blockchain platform that this company has decided to create.

https://youtu.be/pTTdoCkcaag

Dominium is yet another real estate platform that has perceived the value of the tokenization of the assets in this industry. As tokens, they can easily have more liquidity and be easier to sell. The personnel involved in the company seems to also be very experienced so we have good expectations about this company.

Janus – Status Update

Pictures from the slow and ongoing process of installing everything needed in the new office.

Bjorn Janus,

Wiring has finally begun

Bjorn Janus

I have begun standard security protocols and Tj will help finish cameras

…

We still wiring lights. There is literally nothing but power and space here when we began. If anyone wants to help fund costs we put up some sell walls on ardor exchange. No pressure but every penny counts.

More to come after this weekend. Network, lights, machines and fans plus duct work next week. Then reassemble to the new rack system. Based on my current calculation we can put 66 gpu per rack using the new method each rack has 60 amp PDU being attached to it. Safe level of wattage per rack will be 12000 watts This time no fuck ups . Again everyone…i am sorry that miscalculation was my fault entirely. I was over by 1300 watts.

Samu C,

Need a whip? 😉

Bjorn Janus,

When i view my bank account from the 7 month loss it beats me enough i think haha

Revenue lost since mid december is in the 420k usd range.

Lobos is currently working on exchange, blockchain news site, and more. The exchange will become a hub for several items of our work.

Mining, trading, more. I am cooking up a way to get Janus users an account flagged to them, but need to continue working on farm and the development blueprints and ideas for it even if janus has crawled to this point the users who put money into will find a refuge and are not forgotten

Same with Kreds

Janus asset ID on the ARDOR platform: 4348103880042995903.

New Clone? XendBit – Decentralised Crypto Currency Wallet and Exchange

The whitepaper talks about Nxt, but … they confuse basic terms … like Nxt and Ardor. This whole project reeks to high heaven. Imagine if buzzwords were thrown together in a grammatically correct, yet entirely nonsensical way. XendBit wants to

https://www.xendbit.com/

CryptoDemetrius:

They mention it being a fork of the NXT technology in the beginning, but then refer to it as an Ardor child chain in the ITO section. Then in the token distribution section, it says 10% to NXT/Ardor wallet holders. Not entirely clear how it will work. But it says the whole ICO process will be an ERC20 token!! Not sure why you would start on Ethereum when you need KYC and other protocols in place, which Ardor account/asset controls can do.

NXTer.org – Dear Investors, It’s Time To Face The Real Facts

This guest post by frequent contributor, WatchTower, talks about the cold reality of investing – specifically with regards to crypto and ICO’s. The reality is that anyone can claim to have a solid product and anyone can throw around buzzwords but it is up to you, yes you dear reader, to do your due diligence. Investing your money is not a “get-rich-quick” scheme and attempting to do so is very likely a recipe for disaster. Do not take my word for it, take his.

“…determining the worthwhileness of the investment…. requires time…. to learn and know more about a new industry.”

PingMod – Scalability Solutions for Blockchain Companies



Scalability is a key component of any piece of software or any idea in the business world – and blockchain is no different. This article highlights Ardor as being one of the only solutions to scaling a blockchain service.

‘Lightweight Contracts’ by Ardor … Ardor is exploring a different approach, known as ‘the lightweight contract’, which it hopes will be both more flexible and more scalable than the current solutions available. In this approach, only the parties that have an interest in the contract will be required to process and verify it. These lightweight contracts will provide pretty much everything that Ethereum smart contracts do. In addition, they’ll be integrated with everything Ardor already provides out of the box. These built-in API features create a layer of flexibility and automation, resulting in a very powerful tool that can be used for developing more sophisticated server-side decentralized applications.

Lior Yaffe at Medium – Random Number Generator in Contracts

A read about how Ardor lightweight contracts have a fast and secure method for random number generation. Lior elaborates on the many use cases where such a seemingly simple thing is actual of key importance.

Lior wrote:

But as always with lightweight contracts, we still need to trust the contract runner not to cheat, and to verify this, the contract runner must share its secret random seed securely with a validator node before executing the contract. Validators can then repeat the seed calculation and verify that the contract runner indeed executed the contract stored in the blockchain and calculated the random seed according to the protocol. In this case, a multi-signature setup where the validator account needs to approve every transaction submitted by the contract runner provides extra protection.
