I would say that the crypto experiment has failed. Not because my coins were stolen with a simple key logger, but because there is no honor in the crypto space. The internet seems to bring out the best and worst in people. Money or the idea of money brings out the worst in people. The idea of decentralization would be admirable if it were accompanied by honorable users. Money and honor can not co-exist apparently. So what do you end up with? A club of users hoarding coins, thinking those coins are worth something simply because a small minority of users are willing to trade a small minority of the coins for an inflated value. The truth is that if everyone decided not to trade then we would see the real value of these coins which is ZERO. The only thing required to give the coin value is some sucker to trade his coins for value and now all of the sudden the entire network suddenly has value. I'm not trying to spread FUD about crypto. Crypto is not the problem. People are the problem. As long as people are willing to act dishonorably then Crypto will fail. ARDR is a good coin but at the end of the day it is just a computer software program that took a year or two to code. It is not worth a billion dollars. Maybe it is some coder's pet project, their baby. That is admirable. The talent is admirable. But if users put that kind of price tag on a software network of thieves then they deserve to get scammed IMHO. So what? My 113,000 coins had perceived value. Not to me. I know their true worth. Zero, because I choose zero.

Word to the wise. If you want to be rich, then read a book, or go outside and go hiking. Get away from the computer. Wealth is in the mind. Kiss

Good-bye!!!

If you had a keylogger, wasn't that equally likely to steal fiat if you used online banking? I'm not sure why you are saying there is no honour in the crypto space because of one bad apple.

I think you underestimate the work put into Ardor. It is based on Nxt, so the code base is more than 4 years old and has had several programmers working on it. The real value will come from how it gets used. Nxt didn't seem to get used much, but Ardor has launched with a bit more publicity, and Jelurida has funds from the ICO, so we're hoping for better things.
