It's normal that the forging at this point isn't as much profitable as we would like to but this is normal given the current situation with the exchanges. A lot of the existing ardors are locked in the exchanges and the ignis isn't there yet so people can't do anything with them. But once everything is up and running the forging will become much more appealing.

Hopefully the exchanges will fix their server and ether waller issue and focus on ardor and ignis as i would imagine it isn't a top priority now.
