Hello again Ardor. Just downloaded Ardor beta wallet at Play (google) and it's quite good looking but what have I not understood? That is, I sent 11 ARDR from Bittrex 45 minutes ago... There's nothing in the new wallet and nothing showing at Ardor.Tools thanks for assistance... I participated in last summer's three month NXT/ARDR "whatever" they're being called. My new ARDR address: NXT-53WJ-Z3A5-LAZC-2VPKR

https://ardor.tools/ is a block explorer for Ardor testnet. Ardor main net is scheduled for launch about the end of November.

The ARDR tokens that were distributed after the three-month snapshots last year, and that are currently traded, are assets in the Nxt blockchain, so you won't see them in the Ardor testnet. Your account shows it has received 9.22 ARDR in the Nxt block explorer -  https://www.mynxt.info/account/848572254977623952 - so probably the difference is due to Bittrex fees.

This is also the reason why your Ardor beta wallet does not show them. The current Ardor beta is working on testnet (and using testnet Ardor tokens, with no market value), while your ARDR are in the Nxt blockchain. NXT-53WJ-Z3A5-LAZC-2VPKR is a Nxt address.

Well that explains why they aren't in the test-wallet (thank you); however, I'm familiar with losing coins and unless the test-wallet credentials will be accepted at mynxt.info (unlikely) Have learned today's Ardor lessons?

If I understand correctly, what you mean is that NXT-53WJ-Z3A5-LAZC-2VPKR is an address that you generated using the Ardor beta (testnet) client. If this is true, there's no problem because the passphrase logic in Nxt and in Ardor is the same. Which means that entering in the Nxt Client that same passphrase will unlock the equivalent account in Nxt, where your 9.22 ARDR are.

Technically you could use the MyNxt web wallet, create a new account in the site and then import your passphrase in the web wallet, but it is preferable to use the core Nxt Client. Go to https://nxtplatform.org/downloads, grab the client for your platform, check the Light client option in installation (so you don't have to download the blockchain to your computer) and log in using the passphrase you have from the Ardor beta client.
