this is just a money-grab, ardor doesn't go online for more than 365 days, why do you need to do this now? This should be done in the few months in advance instead.
Snapshotting starts in July, so the announcement needs to be done early.
July, thats next month. Why so soon? If the project doesn't launch for a year then shouldn't you guys be doing a snapshot a few weeks before launch? That way it gives everyone a chance to stock up on some Next? Doing it that quickly will just pump the price of next. My guess is the insiders need some cash and what better way then to pump the price of their pre-mined tokens.. scam.
