does anybody know when the confirmed balance changes to effective balance after deposing on ARDR-Client (V 2.0.13)? My deposit now has 126 confirmations but it´s just shown as available credit, not as effective credit.

Thank you for your help :-)

Balance will become effective (A.K.A. balance you can forge with) in 1440 blocks, which is approximately one day after deposit.

Hi guys, I did my homework. In the ARDOR wallet I found my ARDR plus my IGNIS. In the NXT wallet I have my NXT and the same amount of ARDR I had at the snapshot time.
According to the airdrop rules everything is ok. Why I still have half of the ARDR in the NXT wallet? Should I move them in the ARDOR wallet? How can I do that?

Thanks in advance!

It's not that you have half of the ARDR in the Nxt account. The ARDR in the Nxt account is the amount you had at the time of the snapshot, last December 28. That snapshot rewarded you with the same amount of ARDR main net tokens as ARDR assets you had in your Nxt account.

The ARDR assets in Nxt blockchain are now frozen after the snapshot. They cannot be traded, just stay there as a mirror of the Ardor genesis block. All the ARDR value you have has now moved to the Ardor blockchain.

Does anybody know when bittrex gonna launch trading of ardor?

I say let them have the day off, it's New Years day!

Hi, cannot get it. Why my NXT wallet shows still ARDOR asset? All  my ARDR  are in my Ardor wallet already.

That ARDR asset in the Nxt blockchain is frozen and cannot be traded anymore. Right after the balance snapshots happened, this property was activated. So those ARDR assets are now like a reflection of Ardor main chain genesis in the Nxt blockchain, but useless other than for reference.

Has anyone else gotten a mysterious JLRDA asset transfer in their account? I did not buy any JLRDA tokens yet they just appeared today in my account out of the blue. Is Jelurida doing a token air drop to forgers?

There's no official JLRDA asset (the JLRDA token sold in the ICO is a currency in the Nxt Monetary System). Nor is Jelurida doing any air drops other than the ones resulting from the official NXT snapshot in December 28.

In short: scam, ignore them.

I remember that once i had created a wallet address for BTCD (in Bittrex) and for a few (7-8) months after, i wanted to check; when i saw the value of it higher than 100$, i checked in Bittrex and i see that all those times i got from btcd faucets are total didlysquad  Smiley I am sad for it but to be sure i am searching for a BTCD-Explorer website. Can anyone tell me where i can check for the wallet address deposits & transactions?

I have some superbtcd in my nxt wallet and i read they are backed 1:1 with btcd,

where can i swap them and how ?

Do i have to download the supernet wallet ?

Thank you

There was a SuperNET Lite wallet long ago that is now deprecated, but still could be used to withdraw superBTCD, since the BTCD gateway is the only one still operational.

You also can redeem superBTCD manually using a Nxt client, by sending the assets to the Multigateway account NXT-8RQH-HFUP-3AJ9-E2DB9, including a message (permanent, and not encrypted) with the destination address where you want the BTCD delivered, following the format {"withdrawaddr":"YOUR_ADDRESS"}, replacing YOUR_ADDRESS with the destination BTCD address. (Example transaction: https://www.mynxt.info/transaction/1465815227604964491 )

In any case, any users who still have superBTCD or superBTC assets need to redeem them before December 31st. Unredeemed assets by January 1st, 2018 will be considered donations to SuperNET.

Hi there, newb question incoming ;-)

I have a few things about NXT and ARDOR, but would not say that I understand everything. The way I got it is basically that ARDOR tokens "power" the main chains, whereas IGNIS powers the child chains...in the sense that other child chains inherit features from IGNIS. Hope that´s not complete BS, but thats what I understood.

Now, what I don´t really get is: Which token is the better investment? Why should I own ARDOR instead of IGNIS, or the other way around?

Comments appreciated  Smiley

Hello, you're not quite right in your interpretation.

The Ardor tokens, ARDR asset id 12422608354438203866 in the Nxt blockchain until the snapshot, "power" the main chain (there's only one main chain) in the new platform. This means they are used to generate blocks and secure the whole Ardor ecosystem. But they are exclusively used for this purpose.

IGNIS is the token for the first child chain under Ardor. Child chains in Ardor, unlike the main chain, can have for starters all the existing features in the Nxt blockchain. Issuing assets, sending messages, voting, trading digital goods, etcetera. So IGNIS has all the features, except for generating blocks, which only ARDR can do. But other than this, IGNIS does not "power" anything. Any other child chain that will be added to Ardor, including other few initial child chains like Janus or Bitswift, can have access to the same Nxt features and other features that will be added to Ardor.

What is particular for IGNIS is that it is the first child chain, hard-coded by developers, so it becomes the initial transactional token for many things inside of the ecosystem, which should give it good usage and volume.

And about investment advice, it is difficult to give. ARDR has in principle more long term potential because it will gather fees from all child chains, but IGNIS will have more usability out of the box. You should make your own investment decisions after reading and understanding the platform.

... if you really wanna go toe-to-toe with the big guy (ETH), the ease of use should be comparable. People these days hate desktop wallets for some reason and the NXT one isn't really the most casual friendly or good looking one. On the other hand, nobody in their right mind runs an Ethereum full node at home either. This is why MEW is the de facto official ETH wallet. If Ardor/Jelurida offered a web wallet like MEW or a highly polished desktop wallet I believe this would help immensely.

Some of your points are already addressed, others are in the roadmap as far as I know.

Anyone can use now https://nxt.jelurida.com as public Nxt wallet without downloading anything. They also have testnet public wallets for Nxt and Ardor, and will make available an Ardor mainnet public wallet after launch.

Also, the Nxt Client can be installed in light mode and no blockchain download will happen. The client will use API and blockchain data from remote public nodes.

But it is true that Nxt/Ardor could use a simplified version of the desktop wallet. I think Nxt has a great wallet, but I'm used to it and I understand newcomers can be overwhelmed by a lot of tools that could be under the "advanced" hood of a simplified wallet.

And don't forget that many use cases that have gone Ethereum due to market effect could have perfectly used Nxt.

Associating smart contracts with Ethereum and not with Nxt/Ardor, in this sense, is a fallacy. A smart contract allows for self-enforcing rules in a blockchain, and the Nxt architecture provides modules that allow for self-regulating contracts (specially the whole phased transactions API) and other modules that work as a template for frequent uses in Ethereum, like asset/currency issuance and trade.

Turing completeness in Ethereum surely does allow in theory for virtually limitless custom tools, that is undisputed. But the idea behind Nxt/Ardor is modularity, which can simplify implementation of a lot of common cases, even if theoretically limited in scope so far. Enter the scalability provided with Ardor, which in the case of Ethereum (plasma, sharding...) still has a long way to go, and it is quite clear that, if we all put our fanboy hats aside, Ardor can and will be a competing technology.

What happens after the swap? BTCD will become KMD?

It is not automated. You need to create an account in https://ico.komodoplatform.com, send your BTCD to the deposit address you obtain there, and request a payout (swap) to KMD, which will be processed in the next batch by james.

Just make sure you have done this by the end of the year, before the last batch swap is processed. BTCD that have not been swapped by then will be left behind.

Exporting MyNxt accounts (downloading a wallet backup, that contains the actual Nxt passphrase for the account) will be mandatory for MyNxt users who want to be able to use that same passphrase in Ardor, in order to access the tokens they gained in the christmas snapshots, so it's better to do that anyways.

Does anybody know if a bundler in a child chain has 60-70-80% or whatever high percentage in his own chain, can he successfully conduct a 51% attack?

Block generation (PoS forging) happens in the main Ardor chain only, according to ARDR stakes, so child chain token balances are not affecting chain security.

So in my wallet I would see the transaction confirmed only when it is added to a bundle and confirmed in the main Ardor chain?

In this case, what is the purpose of this mechanism with bundles, why not just confirm each transaction from each child chain in the main Ardor chain directly?

Don't think about the addition of your transaction by a bundler as a confirmation. Bundlers should be gathering transactions broadcasted in their child chain continuously, "offering" their current bundle to the main chain regularly, and the main chain will generate blocks at the network target time.

The point of bundles is scalability / prunability. You can read about the logic in https://www.jelurida.com/ardor-blockchain-platform-design :

Quote
The forging chain supports a very limited set of allowed transaction types, such as transfer of Ardor from one account to another, trading of Ardor to each of the child chain tokens and back, leasing Ardor balances to other accounts for the purpose of forging, and a special type of "ChildChainBlock" transactions. The forging power of each account depends on its Ardor balance, in exactly the same way it depends on the NXT balance in the Nxt platform, the consensus model remaining unchanged. All transactions that change Ardor balances are recorded on the forging chain, and therefore downloading and re-processing the transactions from the forging chain provides exactly the same proof-of-stake security as the current Nxt platform. But all transactions that modify child chain token balances only, or any other account holdings (such as assets or currencies), are not recorded on the forging chain, but only on their corresponding child chains. Thus, removal ("pruning") of those child chain transactions after they are no longer needed, does not affect the blockchain security, as validity of Ardor account balances can always be verified in a trustless manner by each node.

Of course, the validity of child-chain transactions and account balances (in native tokens) must also be ensured by the platform, and this is done by anchoring them to the forging chain by means of the above ChildChainBlock transactions. This special transaction type contains as an attachment a list of one or more transactions belonging to a single child chain, i.e. denominated in that child chain native token, with their execution affecting only account balances and holdings on that chain. In effect, such an attachment represents a "block" on the child chain, although no actual forging (block generation) is done on child chains. But those attachments are linked to the ChildChainBlock transaction by means of a cryptographic hash only, thus allowing the transaction signature verification to be performed even after the actual content of the attachment has been pruned after some time. This is building upon design and technology already implemented and in production use on the current Nxt platform - in the form of prunable messages, and prunable data ("data cloud"), and a network of special purpose archival nodes to store them.

Hi. Maybe a stupid question but does this do exactly? Thank you in advance

No doubt, it was a stupid question.  Cheesy

It maybe but I'm new to this concept. But I'm sure shroomskit can help with the answer

You can head to https://www.ardorplatform.org to read the basics, and also to https://jelurida.com for information from the developers and demo nodes. But essentially Ardor is a new platform that will allow users to create custom blockchains including some or all of the existing features in Nxt, and any other new features that may be added down the road.

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.

so I tried to access mynxt wallet but it says "invalid token" even though it's the correct password, I even tried creating a new account and still it won't let me sign in says "invalid token" again...and even if I try "forgot password" the link won't work when I try to reset...any thoughts on what might be the issue? is the mynxt.info wallet just down?

Hi igba, I'm not sure why you posted this request in the SuperNET asset topic (I saw it by chance) but this morning the MyNxt wallet needed a service restart and is now working again normally. So yes, you can say it was just down.
