Janus – Changes its ICO format
As we announced in our previous newsletter, Janus has decided to stop selling the token for its ICO in the it was being carried out. Investors who have already sent their money to the ESCROW account are being paid back. The ICO, however, has only had its strategy changed and now runs exclusively on the Nxt AE. Investors can choose to reinvest in the company by means of the new ICO format that the company has chosen:
Thank you to everyone who has supported our team and the Janus project. We have come to a decision that it’s best for all parties to end the token sale as it stands in it’s current form. We have added an option in your accounts to save a BTC or NXT address on the site that will be used to send refunds back to you.
However, this doesn’t mean that the project has been called off. Janus‘ team just decided to use Nxt’s Asset Exchange as the only method allowed for investors to take part in their crowdfunding campaign.
Those who wish to stay with our team and business goals can still share in our future to some degree.
We’ll be actively in development of the sites described in our white paper, and as such will release Janus tokens on the NXT Asset Exchange in intervals.
- We will release 10,500,000 Janus (JNS) every 4 months. 31,500,000 yearly
- Price currently is set to 1.5 NXT per 1 Janus token. You can purchase tokens right now in your NXT wallets on the asset exchange.
- Price per Janus each distribution will be change every 4 months no matter what the current price it’s trading at, it will be posted 50-100% higher.

Since the start of this first round of funding, the sales of the token show that it has been well-received by the community. The asset is called Janus with Asset ID: 4348103880042995903 and has been issued by the Nxt account NXT-QG74-VNQK-7FQ3-4KFBA.
Preliminary notice
But that’s not all.
We will add Nxt to Betterbets.io and each month calculate the 90% of the NXT earned (some months won’t always be profit, remember its a casino – people will win sometimes). I’m going to try and keep the dividends sent around the same time [each month].
To give you a quick backstory, right now our current investors (on the BTC end) receive monthly income from our casino on the 1st of each month. We will probably follow a similar process for Janus Nxt. This way you won’t have to think or ask – you’ll always know, ok the Janus team will be sending dividends on the 2nd day of each month.
It would be interesting to add a time proven currency like $NXT to our site, thank you all for the suggestion! @NxtCommunity $BTC $RBIES pic.twitter.com/zoUaDGRUiu

bjorn_bb continues:
Once this officially launches on January 15th we’ll turn focus towards some marketing for the site until second week in February. Then Lobos and Luis and I will focus on prepping beta testing for the Social fintech site and gain some user input. And cross your fingers we get a nice mainstream launch right around the time Ardor hits.

NXTBridge – Add-on to the Plugin
Scor2k, developer of the NXTBridge plugin, which allows users to integrate Nxt in WordPress, has published a small update about this plugin at Nxtforum.
Small addon to NXTBridge plugin, which allow you to check unsigned transaction and sign it locally without internet connections. This addon we gonna use with NXTBridge when we complete the next stable version with the addition of a new NXT Wallet function.
Simple way to check this addon for its honesty is to run it on a dedicated browser with incorrect proxy settings (like 127.0.0.1:21344) with opened developer tools (F12) on Network tab.

Forbes – Nxt, ARDR & Adel
Roger Aitken published an article in Forbes.com which goes over the future launch of Adel, the blockchain startup incubator that will use Nxt to develop, support, and fund innovative start-ups. The article explains that the Adel ecosystem is made of stakeholders, registered community members, staff from across the world, a Project Review Committee, and the Adel Board, all together aiming to help projects achieve success.
The text also explains that Adel chose Nxt because of its proven track record as it provides a number of features that benefit the community-based ecosystem that Adel represents. Once Ardor is launched, (expected in the 3rd quarter of 2017) Adel will use its extended features as well.
