  • Last News about Ardor and Nxt Group (ANG)

In October we presented the creation of the ANG. Thanks for all your feedback; the ANG is ready to be structured in such a way as to best suit the community. Travin Keith, NXT Foundation board member, and ANG member is looking to hire a dedicated Director of the ANG. This director would, in essence, be the face of Ardor and Nxt and would assume many of the duties that Travin used to have. This is a public, full-time position. More details below.

Travin Keith wrote:

Thanks to those who have provided feedback on the structure of ANG and also those who’ve indicated a willingness to be an active member in it. A lot of developments are going on, such as structuring for the Meetup Group in coordination with Jelurida with the Booster Meetups, as well as curating resources for the Speakers Corner.

I’ve also heard some interest about the Director position and I’m now setting the deadline for those interested in the position on December 1st at 00:00:00 GMT. Please make sure to email me at travin@nxtfoundation.io if you’re interested.

Please note that this is a full time position and requires one to not be anonymous, as well as requires an established understanding of Nxt and Ardor, as there will be fairly little training and advisory provided.

About the ANG:

The Ardor and Nxt Group (ANG) is an initiative by community members that enables members of the community to participate in the growth of the Nxt and Ardor Platform ecosystem as well as provide businesses, projects, and organizations in the blockchain ecosystem, a platform to gain wider visibility, as well as promote collaborative activities among its members.

  • SCAM ALERT

Many NXT users might have received a blockchain message asking you to transfer your funds from wallet.myNxt.info to a given account – this is a SCAM, a malicious action to trick you into sending your tokens to someone else’s’ wallet.

Do not fall for this scam. We apologize to anyone who might have fallen for this, the best we can do is to be vigilant and raise awareness. Remember, Nxters, there is no central authority policing transactions. Your account is YOUR account, you should never hand over control of your funds or your passphrase no anyone. Trust no one!

Martis:

Just received message to my account. SCAAAAMMM!!!!!

^ DO NOT SEND YOUR FUNDS TO THIS ACCOUNT! ^

Here’s a link to the actual instructions from Mynxt Wallet > https://wallet.mynxt.info/faq.php.
Please move your funds (into an account YOU control!) before December 31st, and better backup your wallet NOW.

  • Janus – Status Update

Last week Janus clarified some questions from the community regarding payouts, mining, and JNSHash. The community questions and expert answers are presented below:

puremage111 – Just to confirm for the JNShash, so janus is now something like a service token instead of revenue sharing right? Will my coins be burned when redeem after 90 days?

ascendus –  @puremage111 , no, 90 days prior to year end we will announce the method needed to re-up, it’s user’s choice to continue with payouts. You’ll get payouts for your holdings (more holdings, more payouts), plus some bonus we’re cooking, and if you’re not satisfied you can sell your tokens on the free market. Free market that we’ll try to expand on the meantime.

Luis Batista – The tier contract plan will be valid for one year, and once finished it can be renewed. Renewal cost will be determined 90 days prior to first year contract end. Payouts will be sent from daily to weekly, depending on coin chosen and when threshold is reached. In some circumstances bonus coins from new coin launches will be sent to each member of each tier. When this occurs we will announce and collect appropriate wallet addresses for the bonus coins.

puremage111 – ahh so in this case, i still hold my janus except that after 90 days, the tier thing will be needed to renew? is this how it works? I will then need to pay x amount of janus to refresh my Jnshash mining to continue? Thanks

ascendus – If you want to continue receiving payouts you´ll need to renew contract.

  • Ardor Testnet – Version 2.0.6e

A new Ardor Testnet version has just been released. Ardor source code included. This is to be the last significant testnet release ahead of the mainnet launch in five weeks. All further testnet releases will be bug patches. The detailed changelog is below.

Changelog:

This is a feature-freeze release for the Ardor testnet. No more API changes or feature additions are planned before launch, only bug fixes.

The source code is now included in the package, for a public review, under a temporary evaluation license only.

Added getExecutedTransactions API. This new API accepts parameters: “chain”, “height”, “numberOfConfirmations”, “type”, “subtype”, “sender”, “recipient”, “firstIndex”, “lastIndex”, and returns the transactions from the specified chain executed at this height, or executed with at least that many number of confirmations.
Both non-phased and phased transactions are returned. For phased transactions, only those approved and executed at the specified height, or approved with at least that many confirmations of the final approval transaction, are returned. If height is specified, sender or recipient parameters are optional, otherwise at least one of them is required.

Fixed UI bugs – base target calculation, missing asset control setup, asset control local signing, calculation of deadline when doing manual transaction

Riker:

To access the server side source code, install one of the packages and review the src folder.
The client side source code is available under the html/www folder.

Once we release the mainnet release we will also upload the source code to a bitbucket repository.

  • PRESS RELEASE: ARDOR SOURCE CODE RELEASED

Everyone likes birthday presents, and in honor of Nxt turning four – Jelurida made the source code of Ardor public. Details of this great present are below!

Jelurida has shared the following information in a Press Release:

Ardor a next generation blockchain platform, introduces three major innovations:

• Unique parent child chain architecture
• Separation between security and transactional tokens
• Scalability, first steps towards solving the blockchain bloat problem

Jelurida the development company behind the Nxt and Ardor blockchain platforms (www.jelurida.com) announces today the final testnet release of its new product Ardor. Following its roadmap, Jelurida has also published the source code of Ardor for review. It is now included in the packages available from https://bitbucket.org/Jelurida/ardor/downloads.

This takes place on the fourth anniversary of Nxt’s launch, Jelurida’s flagship product and the world’s first pure proof-of-stake next generation blockchain platform. Ardor is built on top of Nxt’s functional, robust, stable and secure blockchain.

A number of significant new features were added to Ardor to make it a robust business ready platform. Asset Control to support secure share distribution, Composite Phasing to support advanced use cases such as dead man switch, and By Property Phasing to enable account based KYC.

This testnet release provides users a platform to test and prepare their applications for the mainnet launch, while reviewing the source code for potential problems. Here is the link to access the testnet https://ardor.jelurida.com/index.html

Lior Yaffe co-Founder and Managing Director of Jelurida: The release of the testnet is an important milestone setting standards for the whole blockchain industry paving the way for mainstream adoption of blockchain technology. We are very proud of everything we have achieved over the course of the last four years and are excited to see what the future holds as blockchain technology becomes mainstream.

Between 5th August and 4th November, Jelurida conducted a successful crowd sale for the first Ardor child chain tokens, IGNIS and raised over $15,000,000.

As announced 50% of the tokens will be air dropped to NXT holders during the last week of December 2017. For more information about the IGNIS airdrop go to https://www.jelurida.com/ico

  • JELURIDA, NXT, ARDOR reviewed by Techcrunch

Last week Techcrunch interviewed Jelurida and their staff in Israel about NXT, ARDR and the philosophies of each token. This article is big news and great publicity for Jelurida as Techcrunch is among the most viewed websites on the planet, especially in America. Details of the interview are below.

Riker said

In case you live on the moon, this is techcrunch https://techcrunch.com/about/ the 280 most popular site in the US and 626 world wide. For a startup getting a mention there is equivalent to a prophet being mentioned in the Bible and the article is 4th most popular at the moment https://techcrunch.com/popular/.

For NXT, Ardor and Jelurida this is huge exposure to exactly the audience we need. Getting there was a coordinated effort of many people over several month.

Techcrunch writes

Jelurida is the development company behind Nxt and Ardor blockchain platforms. It creates customized commercial versions of these platforms while continuously supporting and maintaining the decentralized public Nxt blockchain. With the upcoming Ardor platform, Jelurida will be creating custom child chains for its clients and partners as well.

Whereas many blockchain companies are still in the fundraising stage, Nxt is fully operational and trading with a market cap of over a hundred million dollars. The company, which has in the past offered functions specifically designed for crypto developers, is turning its focus to use cases which have to do with everyday life, from introducing new voting mechanisms to offering transparent international bank transfers that consumers can enjoy. Ardor is the newest blockchain platform Jelurida has been working on, and functions as sort of a Nxt 2.0. Ardor features a unique parent-child chain structure, which helps combat blockchain bloat.
