IGNIS ICO Report 2

Did you hold your breath?

Never mind, the second 5M batch of the IGNIS ICO got snatched by MAAC the Whale. And also most of the third.

But look at this now:

Live data from the Nxt blockchain

69 new buyers got their hands on JLRDA  –

no ninja tricks, no bots, just by using the full Nxt client. It’s a race to get in, sure. Back hurts from leaning forward towards the screen, eyes burn from staring without blinking, and personally, I burned my dinner in the oven because I didn’t dare to leave the computer within the ICO time frame. And I wasn’t even among the lucky 69. Transaction sent, the fee goes to forgers, try again if you want.

Only 5M of the ICO tokens are released in each batch in this Round 1, so maybe it’s better to wait. It’s just that… buying IGNIS for 0.4 NXT per token would be pretty nice, right.

What’s next?

Kristina (Jelurida) gives us this update in nxtchat.Slack:

Dear Nxt community members, thank you for your contribution in the first 2 days of the IGNIS ICO!

We are carefully considering the feedback and we are looking into possible ways to ensure that all the Nxters and also newcomers can participate in the IGNIS crowdsale more easily.

We also recommend to everybody to configure their Nxt client as a full node to avoid overloading the public nodes.

Jelurida has started moving funds to Bittrex, which is one of the higher volume NXT exchanges.

As people are beginning to calm down now, lots of thoughts and research by both new and veteran Nxters is ongoing, about the method MAAC uses and – not least perhaps – how to copycat it.

Another piece to this puzzle came from MAAC himself, as he uploaded a second public message to the Nxt blockchain:

Now guess who forged the block with the 4th JLRDA bid offer and 1009 NXT in fees while at work? Ahem, yeah

Questions?

So, does all this mean that Jelurida is incapable of running a fair ICO on the platform they designed themselves? Will this be Nxt’s “bad distribution” issue all over again? Is MAAC a heartless attacker, a movie theater worker with great belief in the work of Jelurida or just a greedy whale? Will he succeed or can Jelurida exploit his methods and succeed in creating equal terms for all?

In the coming days, we will dig into this in much greater detail, and not least explain about IGNIS, and all the advantages of the revolutionary new Ardor platform.

The JLRDA release schedule is as posted from Jelurida, remember each one is a batch of 5 M tokens:

Aug 5th between 06:45 – 07:15 UTC and between 18:45 – 19:15 UTC
Aug 6th between 06:45 – 07:15 UTC and between 18:45 – 19:15 UTC
Aug 7th between 06:45 – 07:15 UTC and between 18:45 – 19:15 UTC
Aug 8th between 06:45 – 07:15 UTC and between 18:45 – 19:15 UTC
Aug 9th between 06:45 – 07:15 UTC and between 18:45 – 19:15 UTC
Aug 10th between 06:45 – 07:15 UTC and between 18:45 – 19:15 UTC

The coin sale will last for months so do not worry if you are not able to participate immediately, there will be many opportunities to participate in the IGNIS ICO.

In addition to the ongoing ICO, approximately half of the IGNIS coins in existence will be distributed automatically to NXT holders based on their account balances at the time of the Ardor Genesis Snapshot, at 1 NXT = 0.5 IGNIS ratio.
