Re: Tired of ETH and ETC? Learn about secured NXT/Ardor smart transactions
It is good to put the word out there for Ardor. If we use the NXT price and volume as barometer we can see that the interest in Ardor is not enough. Most of the interest came only from the base supporters of NXT and maybe some traders buying and selling for profit in bitcoins played a role in the increase of the price. But there is nothing else.
There has been many articles mentioning Ardor.
Here is a few that you can find:

I think there is more, but these are the one I found rapidly.
There is also the announcement on this forum:

It is not to late to get a stake in Ardor (mother chain token), you just need to hold NXT until 12 october (first snapshot is continuous between 14 july to 14 october, it is the average holding that count).Then your holding of NXT counts for a second instantaneous snapshot (for distributing the first childchain tokens) at the release of the Ardor platform.
Thanks for sharing these articles. They really explain a lot about Ardor and its features. In my opinion, it looks like a whole new concept and it might me even something better than The DAO. Still, there is one thing that I don't get though. Does that mean that NXT will be called Ardor instead when trading at exchanges? Even though my NXT will be swapped to the new tokens, I'm curious to know if the NXT name will be preserved.
But if the token/currency itself will be named Ardor, then I think that it might bring the attention of new investors to pump the price of it to the moon .(as it will have a new name + logo which they will think it is a new crypto currency) Just my opinion.
