For your information: The project “Dominium” changed its name to Max Crowdfund in late 2018. We’ve kept the original name in the article for historical reasons. I suspect I wasn’t the only Nxter to be caught off guard by the articles from several weeks ago describing how a company called Dominium will build a platform …
If you have been a follower of the biggest development in the cryptoland, Ardor, then you must have read the first episode of this article series. Well, if you haven’t read it or you haven’t been following, then I say congratulations to you for seeing this sequel. Verily, you have finally found the future; now …
There is no gainsaying that information rules the world, for information is simply knowledge and knowledge, they say, is power. Come to think of it, what can we do without information? Exactly! Information is everything we need to survive, and at the heart of that surviving factor (information) lies data. Everybody has got a need …
One of the previous publications on Ardor addressed a germane issue in the Crypto-land. This issue is that which is concerned with investment, patience and ultimately, the need to make massive profit after strategically adopting the former concerns. The publication was inspired by a conversation among Crypto actors on the expected return from their investments …
Equality has always been a farfetched term and only exists in the dreams. Unfairness and inequality have gone beyond the five fingers and have eaten deep into all systems. But then, this isn’t a conversation that concerns us at the moment. However, the market is. Who can survive without a market? No living man can, …
Recently there have been several posts on the Nxt and Ardor subreddits asking about Ignis: Why did Jelurida create it? What problems does it solve? Why would people want to use it? I suspect that for a lot of longtime members of the Nxt community, the answers to these questions are self-evident. For newcomers, though, …

I recently decided to start a series of posts that compare and contrast Ardor with other blockchain projects that appear to have similar goals or features. Roughly each week, I’ll pick a project whose scope overlaps at least a little with Ardor’s, study its technical documentation, and post a summary of my findings here for …
Just wondering if no one knows or no one cares about picking up free money anymore. Quoting this week’s Nxt Newsletter: A new transaction has been sent to the alias EasterEggs. Here’s a clue: Twitter handle @OPeasterEggs. Some cared to check @OpEasterEggs and even #OpEasterEgg: #Nxt has Phased Transactions. This Jinn asset can be …
It’s been some really quite interesting weeks lately in crypto land. Scaling hasn’t been much of topic for the last years – and boom – now it’s front and center. Bitcoiners used to clobber anyone who thinks miners having different incentives than currency holders is a problem. Now it’s suddenly consensus on r/bitcoin. Not only are …
Suppose you have a circle of friends who you meet with in a sports bar to drink beer, watch sports and make bets. You can make bets on the Nxt Blockchain and have a basic Python app automate it for you. In my first article I introduced basics of a blockchain. As we learned, the most …
In my first article I introduced blockchain theory, what it can do for your software project and the basics of interacting with the Nxt blockchain in PHP. Today I am going to present a small Lottery program written in Go. Pre-requisites: Golang (tested with Go 1.6.2) NRS 1.10.1 (https://bitbucket.org/JeanLucPicard/nxt/downloads/) The program is fully functional and runs a …
Blockchains can be useful in various applications, facing global audience and supporting company internal infrastructure. A blockchain is a distributed database, a copy of the blockchain is stored on each node in a peer-to-peer network. This extreme redundancy can be duely considered inefficient, but please stay with me for a couple of minutes of blockchain theory. …
