If this was to become more popular (if gift gets enabled) is there a way that it will ever be financially viable, or is it best to just cut your losses? I assume any funds that were raised with the coin swap are non-existent now?
The transfers/payments incorporated only exchange-related fees and gift ran at no fees so no it doesn't nor was it intended to run as for-profit. NOXT from the get go was a set of services that burnt NOBL/NOXT and supported the altcoin ecosystem, fees would only make it an even less attractive method than fiat.
what's going to happen with the NOXT tokens when NXT moves to ARDR/IGNIS?
I will likely move over, but won't be rushing until the dust has settled with the xfer and chain/tech looks stable. I'll need time to redevelop and test a number of backend tasks again also.
