Any further thoughts on how you plan to handle the ARDR/NXT/IGNIS transition from a couple of pages back? Makes holding NXT feel "dead" (and perception can matter, I think), but there's that IGNIS airdrop to prop it up. Not entirely sure what sort of useful asset I'd end up with depending on which way I went (i.e. directly into ARDR vs holding NXT+IGNIS). I kind of get the value of holding ARDR on some level (basically like holding NXT/ETH?), not sure what the purpose of IGNIS is yet.

Also, have you explored NIMIQ at all? Just wrapped up an ICO (meh), but they have a working, mining testnet (not just a pretty Wordpress page) and I'm very much a fan of a) a browser/JS based blockchain and b) their very simple UX in an overly technical space.

A trait I keep searching for in crypto is a lack of friction for consumers. Bitcoin has branding, but ultimately there's enough "junk" (single-use addresses, Segwit politics, etc.) that it takes an external, supporting ecosystem (i.e. Coinbase) to make it adoption-friendly. Coins like ETH/XRP/NEM do a little better, but get bogged down again in technical potential ("build on our blockchain!"). I place high (if risky) favor on a later-gen coin that makes the tech invisible instead of its selling point.

Not something to add to the portfolio now, but it's piqued my interest.
