Thanks Damelon for your clarification! Yes, I would be glad to see a new thread managed by someone who is deeply involved. I myself have started a German thread some time ago, but I'm in no means affiliated to Jelurida or ANG (and I'm also a critic of some of their decisions) so I could not guarantee to keep it updated it like it should be.

Ardor could be described as the second generation of the NXT software. It has been rebranded for a clearer separation and because NXT is already used for some other well-known projects.

The Ardor blockchain is, however, totally independent from the NXT blockchain. Both are only "related" because of IGNIS' and ARDR's initial distribution which was carried out to NXT holders.
