Paul Busch 有两位核心人员在做区块链开发工作，我自己在做项目管理，然后我们有几个社区成员做各种事情，比如让我们的reddit看起来不错。然后我们的科技企业有5个人在做东西，我们有管理员（我的妻子）负责所有的文书工作。迈克（我的兄弟）管理所有bitswift.shop的东西。Hes在这方面做得非常好，如果你现在查看产品，所有的东西都格式化得很好，那么他就完成了。
Добро пожаловать, дорогие Нэкстеры и другие последователи!
Наша мечта – это мир, в котором общество вокруг лучше, ответственнее, сплоченнее благодаря технологии распределенных баз данных: блокчейну. Мы воображаем себе мир, в котором существуют экосистемы децентрализованных приложений, наши личные данные свободны от вмешательства извне, а наши системы голосования защищены от подделки результатов. Нашей мечте предстоит долгий путь до полного осуществления, но мы можем видеть еженедельный прогресс. Да, похоже, что мир принял идею ICO, но технология содержит в себе гораздо больше, чем торговля токенами, раздутыми маркетингом (зачастую при поддержке невежественных знаменитостей). Все могут мечтать, но немногие готовы шагнуть дальше. Возможно, нам удастся вдохновить тебя, дорогой читатель, сделать мир лучше, или же по крайней мере вдохновить тебя посредством нашего воображения и знаний присоединиться к нам в нашем путешествии. Наше путешествие только начинается, путь неизведан и тернист, но цели очевидны.
На прошлой неделе произошло множество событий, особенно в разделе Встречи; Лиор написал две статьи, которые мы здесь представим в обобщенном виде – одну об использовании Легких Контрактов, вторую о Транзакционных Ваучерах; были опубликованы видео; демо-версия децентрализованной биржи (DEX), разрабатываемой на платформе Ardor, была презентована для Binance; FreeBird, разрабатывающие Ignis-приложения для микросообщений, завершили свои эйрдроп и ICO; Bitswift рассказал о своем новом токене CASH и многое другое.
Мы рады приветствовать наших читателей – старых и новых. Мы желаем, чтобы наши читатели всегда были в курсе развития блокчейна, а также хранили себя и свою информацию в безопасности. Станьте экспертами в блокчейн-экосистеме Nxt / Ardor / Ignis. Итак, устраивайтесь поудобнее в кресле, мы расскажем обо всех событиях прошедшей недели.
Еженедельный дайджест новостей свели воедино apenzl, Jose, James и rubenbc. На русский язык перевел madfox.
СООБЩЕСТВО
Jelurida
Поскольку все мы с нетерпением ждем от Jelurida публикации дорожной карты Nxt, Ignis and Ardor, которая будет на этой неделе аннонсирована в прямом эфире в Корее, прошедшая неделя была нескучной.
Большая часть недели прошла в присутствии на конференциях. Также Лиор расширил свое введение в Легкие Контракты более информативными публикациями об этих пользовательских смарт-контрактах на платформе Ardor. Новые особенности, вошедшие в дорожную карту, – “Ваучеры” – были также более детально объяснены.
Подробнее об этом читайте в разделе “Разработка” ниже.
Видео – Каковы долгосрочные бизнес-прогнозы для Jelurida?
На прошлой неделе мы анонсировали, что член сообщества Patoshi собирался продемонстрировать для Binance, одной из наиболее популярных сегодня криптовалютных бирж, DEX на платформе Ardor. Binance запустило конкурс “Dexathon” для создания собственного движка децентрализованной биржи, который бы работал на их собственном блокчейне: Binance Chain.
После презентации Patoshi предупредил нас, что готовит видео:
все прошло отлично! многим понравилась демонстрация рескина, они думали, что это разработка binance…. я все записывал. я обработаю видео и выложу его.
Спасибо за проделанную работу и демонстрацию в Нью-Йорке!
Блокчейн-лаборатория с Уолл-стрит, xCubicle, в рамках текущего DEX-соревнования Binance предоставила концептуальную демо-версию. Эта демо-версия использует платформу Ardor для построения децентрализованной биржи наряду с другими возможностями, такими, как краудфандинг и ограничения KYC.
Мультикошелек Jaxx будет содержать Nxt, Ardor и Ignis
На прошлой неделе был предварительный анонс, что Jaxx включит поддержку для трех наших любимых токенов!
Elizabeth написала:
Информация поступила после Decentral Cruise, где они анонсировали, что 1 июля будет выпущен новый железный кошелек Jaxx. Приготовьтесь, поскольку он должен включать Ardor, NXT и Ignis, я надеялась, что они будут упомянуты в анонсе, но включенные токены не перечисляли. Подождем дополнительной информации.
Видео – Хорошая ли покупка ARDOR? Давайте разберемся!
Глубокий взгляд на Ardor. Рассказчик верит, что Ardor хорошая инвестиция, и разъясняет, по какой причине. Возможно, это не удивит давних читателей, но всегда приятно видеть подтверждение наших ожиданий независимым и беспристрастным анализом.
Несколько дней назад я представил вам Ardor в качестве хорошей возможности для покупки. Сегодня я хочу погрузиться глубже и взглянуть, что же умеет Ardor и что делает его хорошей инвестицией. Все просто и доступно для понимания.
Постройте технологию и они придут – на Встречи! Прошлая неделя была насыщенной для публичных персон в Jelurida, Ardor Nxt Group и сообществе. Они побывали в Оксфорде, Монако, Лондоне и Нью-Йорке!
У нас потрясающие впечатления от вчерашнего события. Некоторые присутствующие от Оксфордского университета высказали идеи. Они бы хотели настроить Оксфордскую публичную ноду для экспериментов и чтобы стать частью сообщества. Проблема в том, что у них нет средств. Я предложил идею, возможно, кто-нибудь из сообщества захочет предоставить в лизинг свой баланс.
Если вы желаете принять участие, сдав в с лизинг свой форжинговый ресурс, пожалуйста, сообщите мне об этом, чтобы я смог все синхронизировать и настроить.
Хотя текущая транзакционная комиссия на Ardor очень мала, чтобы рассматривать ее как приличное вознаграждение нодам, прибыли могли бы пойти на финансирование общественных мероприятий, а не в чей-то карман. Вызывает интерес желание оксфордцев протестировать rasp pi 3 для форжинга и некоторых измерений. Спасибо! Как только они сконфигурируют свою ноду, я сообщу вам адрес.
Вы можете связаться с Almonte в слаке ArdorNxt Slack или оставить сообщение в поле для комментариев.
В случае, если вы пропустили, я только что договорилась о встрече с группой заинтересованных лиц в следующем месяце в Аризоне на тему приложений для “умного города”.
Незадолго до этого я связалась с человеком, который пригласил меня выступить на его мероприятии.
За ланчем я встретила несколько интересных людей, включая нескольких блокчейн-консультантов, которые сообщили, что наша платформа находится в их поле зрения, а также общалась с директором по связям с общественностью, который желает создать большой проект на блокчейне.
Я пытаюсь рассказать все так, как было, чтобы вы смогли увидеть, насколько продуктивными могут быть эти мероприятия.
Но, возможно, самая интересная встреча с @alex0909 и @gabriel. Вот пруф, я постараюсь сфотографироваться с Alex во время нашей следующей встречи.
Переживаете, что не смогли попасть на крутые мероприятия? Не беда, есть много возможностей встретиться с нами, выказать свою поддержку, поделиться идеями или просто полюбопытствовать о Nxt, Ardor, и Ignis в предстоящие недели.

Мы продолжим расширять наше сообщество и удерживать Jelurida на лидирующих позициях Финтех-рынка в Берлине, в конце мая, поскольку мы участвуем в Blockshow Europe.
Лично я, совместно с давними членами сообщества, такими, как Alberto Fernandez (@almonte), Gabriel Francesch (@gabriel) и Moritz Warntjen (@mrmoejoe) встретимся и будем иметь возможность взаимодействовать. Не могу дождаться!
В настоящий момент среди всех стартап-платформ Европы нет ни одной, которая бы так быстро росла и была бы такой интернациональной, как SCALE11 в CEBIT, и Jelurida с радостью сообщает, что мы будем на сцене и у нас будет стенд в блокчейн-зоне конференции. Это захватывающее событие, и мы с гордостью представляем Ardor, Nxt и Ignis на этом мероприятии!
Blockchain Hackathon – Larson Group – 13-15 июля, Цюрих, Швейцария
У вас есть опыт использования API платформы Nxt, или API платформы Ardor? Вот вам открытый вызов, сообщите, если придете!
Они написали:
Это мероприятие, Blockchain Hackathon, кажется, рождает идеи по решению настоящих бизнес-проблем за короткие сроки. Основной предмет Hackathon – это совместимость блокчейнов и разработка решений с использованием технологии распределенных баз данных. Всем добро пожаловать; если вы Кодер/Программист/Разработчик программного обеспечения/Научный сотрудник/Менеджер проектов/Бизнес-аналитик/Бизнес-архитектор или Лайфхакер – свяжитесь с нами. Для Программистов/Кодеров/Разработчиков программного обеспечения необходимо наличие одного или нескольких следующих технических навыков:
Jelurida усиленно работает над созданием своей новой концепции Легких Контрактов. Лиор написал о последних изменениях, над которым работает он и другие разработчики в Jelurida. Эта статья отлично разъясняет техническую сторону внедрения и срабатывания Легких Контрактов и более детально описывает “Ваучеры”, их полезность и универсальность – подобно счетам-фактурам, но куда более широкого применения.
Он написал:
Подводя итоги, проект легких контрактов быстро развивается. В ближайшее время мы выпустим дополнительные примеры нового функционала контрактов, подразумевающего реальное использование, объясняют, как работают транзакционные ваучеры, и как легко их можно объединить с контрактами, что будет демонстрацией полной силы децентрализованных приложений.
Лиор Яффе в Hackernoon – Введение в Транзакционные Ваучеры
Если вам кажется, что мы уже надоели со своими Транзакционными Ваучерами – эй, спасибо, что обратили внимание! Это очень полезная и быстровнедряемая концепция, которая демонстрирует лидерство Jelurida. Как было упомянуто выше, Транзакционный Ваучер можно представить в виде безопасной счет-фактуры, которую проще использовать, чем существующие методы оплаты. Любой, кто пытался отправить или вывести средства со сторонней биржи, как, например, Bittrex, знает, насколько пугающий этот процесс. Возможно, это не так сложно, но очевидно, что ничего страшного тут нет, Транзакционные Ваучеры предназначены, чтобы сделать подобные платежи проще и безопаснее, в этом заключается основная идея.
Лиор написал:
Подумайте о транзакционных ваучерах как о счет-фактуре. Запрос оплатить определенную сумму на определенный адрес, подписанный личным ключом получателя. Идея основана на биткоиновом платежном запросе, но, используя богатый функционал Ardor/Ignis, мы можем сделать гораздо больше.
Сам по себе ваучер – JSON формат, состоящий из транзакционного json, байтов транзакции и цифровой подписи байтов транзакции.
Скажем, Элис хочет, чтобы Боб заплатил ей 100 IGNIS. Она заходит в бумажник Ardor, используя аккаунт Боба, и отсылает средства так, как если бы она была Бобом. Естественно, у нее нет парольной фразы Боба и она не может подтвердить транзакцию. Вместо этого она подписывает платеж Боба, используя ее парольную фразу, и генерирует ваучер.
Затем Элис скачивает ваучер и отправляет его Бобу по электронной почте.
Боб получает ваучер и загружает его в бумажник Ardor. Бумажник Ardor автоматически подтверждает, что подпись ваучера верна и что байты ваучера находятся в точном соответствии с транзакционным JSON ваучера. После того, как процесс подтверждения успешно завершен, бумажник представляет Бобу запрос, показывает адрес получаетеля – Элис, сумму, которую она желает получить, и приложенные сообщения и другие параметры транзакции.
Все, что необходимо сделать Бобу, это проверить информацию, подпись и подтвердить транзакцию, используя его парольную фразу.
(…)
Но ваучеры могут использоваться не только в платежах. Их можно использовать для любого вида транзакций, поддерживаемого Ignis. К примеру, Боб хочет поручить Элис провести опрос-голосование. (…) Или, например. Чарли, оператор форж-пула, хочет, чтобы Боб сдал ему в лизинг свой баланс. Он осуществляет лизинговый запрос от лица Боба, затем отсылает ваучер, который Бобу необходимо проверить и подтвердить.
Обновления от проекта Ardor Lite. Создатель принимает отзывы по изменениям, которые вы бы хотели увидеть в Андроид-приложении. Приложение для iOS находится в разработке.
mrv777 написал:
Версия 0.8.4 Ardor lite выпущена в Google play app store. Изменения включают:
• В переводы добавлен корейский язык (к южнокрейской встрече)
• Добавлен экран заставки
• Нажатие на цены обмена монет теперь загружает эту цену и отображает максимум доступный по этой цене
• если <0.001 на обменнике монет, говорится вместо округления
• Исправлено десятичное форматирование для покупки/продажи на монетном обменнике
• Улучшения стиля
• Увеличено максимальное количество сделок, показанное на обменнике https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mrv.ardor.lite
…
Если у кого-то есть другие предложения для Ardor Lite, пожалуйста, дайте мне знать. Я стараюсь завершить версию1.0 для Андроида и iOS. На Андроиде все в настоящий момент выглядит хорошо, iOS требует некоторых доработок.
Нэкстер, если ты не форжишь, пожалуйста, подумай о том, чтобы сдать свой баланс в лизинг наподобие упомянутого выше. Поступая так, ты не только поддерживаешь отличный проект, ты также делаешь свою инвестицию в блокчейн безопаснее. Почему? Форжеры создают все новые блоки Ardor, подтверждают все транзакции на childchain и защищают всю сеть Ardor.
Не знаешь, как сдать свой баланс в лизинг?
В Dashboard клиентской версии, под своим балансом, нажми More Info
Выбрать Account Leasing > Lease your balance to another account
Введи аккаунт, которому хочешь сдать свой баланс в лизинг
Вычислить комиссию (она составляет 0.1 ARDR). Нажать кнопку Lease Balance.
Ты можешь подтвердить 2 лизинговые транзакции одна после другой и продлить лизинговый период до 92 дней. Сдавая баланс в лизинг, ты не подвергаешь свои ARDR риску – ты можешь использовать, тратить и перемещть свои монеты как тебе угодно. Твои монеты и твоя парольная фраза не отсылаются форжинговому хабу – он всего лишь получаешь способность форжить при помощи твоего баланса.
Чтобы поддержать публичную ноду Оксфордского университета, свяжись с almonte или оставь нам комментарий.
Форжинговый аккаунт Nxter Magazine’s ARDOR-NYJW-6M4F-6LG2-76FR5 – ты поддержишь нашу работу.
На прошлой неделе команда FreeBird объявила, что эйрдроп и ICO завершены! Дополнительные FBC токены могут быть получены частыми пользователями их новой микроблоговой платформы.
Гудрейн написал:
Эйрдроп и 2.0 ICO завершены.
…
Доступен Freebird 2.0 . Для продвижения этой децентрализованной микроблоговой системы мы запустили дивиденты и вознаграждения для активных пользователей.
1. Дивиденты
Все держатели FBC (IGNIS asset:10901629157658360185) будут получать 1% дивидентов каждую неделю. Мы приготовили 80,000,000 FBC на выплату дивидентов
2. Вознаграждение для активных пользователей
Каждую неделю мы будем выбирать до 5- активных пользователей, чтобы отправить им вознаграждения в виде токенов FBC. Активными пользователями считаются те, кто публикует сообщения на платформе FreeBird 2.0. Мы приготовили 20,000,000 FBC для вознаграждений.
Данные условия начинают действовать с сегодняшнего дня до израсходования указанных сумм.
На прошлой неделе Bitswift сделал следующие обновления, включая их токен CASH.
bitswiftbro написал:
вместо того, чтобы фокусироваться на строительстве лучшего блокчейна, мы сосредоточены на приложениях, которые свяжут людей с блокчейном
каждое приложение имеет определенные бизнес-аспекты и определенное назначение.
Больше всего меня волнует токен CASH, поскольку мы будем продвигать его как “цифровую валюту” и планируем интегрировать его в будущие платформы. К примеру, ничто не запрещает нам создать децентрализованный рынок с токеном CASH в качестве основной валюты на этом рынке. У меня есть идеи, касающиеся использования токена CASH в игровой индустрии, в которой мы могли бы сформировать игровое подразделение Bitswift, сосредоточенное на разработке контента виртуальной реальности, который использовал бы токен CASH. (Я большой фан VR). Я размышлял над использованием CASH в качестве основы экономики виртуального мира.Члены сообщества могли бы клэймить токены CASH, приходя в игру, а сами токены могли бы влиять на разнообразие игровых локаций и взаимодействия игроков.
Я предвижу увеличение объема, когда мы добавим больше функционала токенам. Наш технологический бизнес также получает растущий интерес со стороны наших главных бизнес-пользователей касательно крипто-сферы. Частично причиной того, что мы выпускаем Bitswift.cash является то, что пользователи могу вступить в нашу экосистему посредством платформы, которая сама по себе также является и обменным пунктом.
Я думаю Bitswift.cash мог бы также использоваться в качестве концепта универсального базового дохода на блокчейне.
LtBrix
Смогут ли пользователи обменивать cash на другие криптовалюты?
Пол Буш
Да, для токенов CASH будет рынок на бирже активов.
Это платформа, которую мы поддерживаем, таким образом у рынка тоже будет поддержка.
Работаем над юридическими и бизнес аспектами, добавляем некоторые статистические элементы на рынок токена CASH, тестируем, снова тестируем, переходим к производству, выпускаем продукт.
Распределение будет происходить на платформе bitswift.cash. Пользователи должны будут клэймить токены CASH, чтобы их получить. Либо покупая их на бирже активов. Каждый пользователь может заклэймить одинаковое количество в день.
Итак, рынок заработает, когда мы официально запустим платформу. Сроки…не знаю точно…Юристы почему-то всегда долго делают свою работу. Я надеюсь, что мы смогли бы сделать платформу публично доступной в течение 30 дней или около того. Это при условии, что не возникнут какие-нибудь проблемы.
Bitswift cash это только одно приложение на платформе bitswift. Оно представляет собой пример того, как приложение может использовать блокчейн.
У Ardor уже есть AEUR, евро-шлюз, я считаю, что Bitswift.cash станет канадским шлюзом. will become the Canadian gateway. Должно быть относительно легко подключать другие способы оплаты вроде E transfer online, и даже кредитные карты для тех пользователей, которым мы по-настоящему доверяем, таким, как наши текущие бизнес-клиенты.
LtBrix
Сколько человек работает с тобой над проектом Bitswift?
Пол Буш
Два основных разработчика работают над элементами блокчейна, я занимаюсь менеджментом проекта, у нас есть несколько заинтересованных членов сообщества, которые выполняют разные работы, например, поддерживают наш reddit в актуальном состоянии. Затем, в нашем технологическом бизнесе работают 5 человек, а еще у нас есть админ (моя супруга), которая выполняет всю бумажную работу. Майк (мой брат) управляет всем, что связано с bitswift.shop. Он действительно хорошо с этим управляется, если вы проверите наши продукты, то увидите, что все надлежащим образом и грамотно сделано.
Несколько месяцев назад мы писали об Action Coin и их ICO. Но тем не менее множество людей не знают, кто они и чем отличаются от тысяч существующих платформ. Вкратце, они называют себя основанной на блокчейне программой вознаграждений, построенной на NXT, был эйрдроп для всех, у кого на балансе были монеты NXT в блокчейне NXT. Мы предостерегаем вас не пользоваться своей Nxt-парольной фразой для получения доступа к их сайту, чтобы проверить наличие ваших токенов ACTN, поскольку нам неизвестно, безопасен ли их сайт – используйте для проверки баланса адрес своего аккаунта. ВСЕГДА БЕРЕГИТЕ СВОЮ ПАРОЛЬНУЮ ФРАЗУ.
Они написали:
Action Coin построена на технологии блокчейна Nxt
Первая криптовалюта, Биткоин, была запущена всего лишь девять лет назад. Сегодня существует более 1500 известных криптовалют, их количество растет с каждым днем. Многие из этих цифровых активов созданы с целью проведения платежей, но некоторые предлагают намного больше возможностей.
8 февраля 2018 года мы клонировали публичный блокчейн NXT, создавая таким образом основу публичного блокчейна Action Coin. Наш клон включает все бумажники, которые были в блокчейне Nxt в момент проведения снэпшота, и 10% от общего количества Action Coin были автоматически розданы всем (более чем 234,000) владельцам Nxt (в соответствие с условиями публичной лицензии Jelurida), в приблизительном соотношении один (1) на каждый Nxt.
На этой неделе пока все, Нэкстеры. Подписывайтесь на наш Twitter или Telegram для получения важных и сногсшибательных новостей, если они произойдут. Мир блокчейна растет и развивается с каждой неделей, а реализация наших надежд становится ближе и реальнее! Прогресс – это сложная работа, но он того стоит. Изучение блокчейнов, подобных Ardor, это труд, но он окупится, как только вы начнете видеть непосредственную выгоду для себя, поверьте нам на слово. Увидимся на следующей неделе. Мы будем держать вас в курсе растущего мира технологии распределенных баз данных.

Our dream is a world in which society is all around better, more accountable, more connected, and more convenient – all powered by distributed ledger technology: blockchain. We are living out our dream of a world in which ecosystems of decentralized apps exist and our data is secure and untampered and our voting systems are reliable and immutable. Our dream has a long way to go before it comes to complete fruition, but every week we see progress. Yes, the world seems to have embraced ICO’s, but there is so much more to the technology than trading tokens that are pumped by (insert clueless celebrity here) marketing. Everyone can dream, but not everyone follows through on them. Perhaps you, dear reader, can be inspired by us to make the world better – or at the very least be inspired by our passion and knowledge to join us on our journey. Our journey is only just beginning and we might not know the path, but we do know the end.
Last week as we lived our dream, much happened – especially in the Meetup space, Lior wrote two articles that we summarized – one about the use of Lightweight Contracts and a second concerning Transaction Vouchers, videos were released, an Ardor based proof-of-concept DEX was presented to Binance, Ignis micro-messaging app FreeBird concluded their airdrop and ICO, Bitswift talks about their new CASH token, and much more.
We welcome back our old readers and warmly welcome our new ones. We want our readers to stay up-to-date with the blockchain evolution and we also want our readers to keep themselves and, their data, as safe as possible. Become experts in the Nxt / Ardor / Ignis blockchain ecosystem. So lean back and learn about all of last week’s progress.
This week’s newsletter is put together by apenzl, Jose, James, and rubenbc.
COMMUNITY
Jelurida
As much as we are eagerly waiting for the reveal of the Nxt, Ignis and Ardor roadmap from Jelurida, which will be announced live in Korea this week, it has not been a boring week.
Much of the week went into attending conferences. Also, Lior expanded upon his introduction of Lightweight Contracts with more informative posts about these user-created smart contracts on Ardor. A presentation of a new feature that has been added to the roadmap, “Vouchers” was also explained in more detail.
Read more about this, in the “Development” section down below.
Video – What are the Long-term Business Projections for Jelurida
Last week we announced that community member Patoshi was going to demonstrate an Ardor based DEX to Binance, one of today’s most popular crypto exchanges. Binance launched a “Dexathon” to help them create a new decentralized exchange engine that will run on their own native blockchain: Binance Chain.
After the presentation, Patoshi warned us that a video of the seance will be coming:
it went well! many liked the demo of the reskin and kept thinking it was done by binance…. i have it recorded. i’ll process it and upload it.
Thanks for the work, and the demonstration in NYC!
xCubicle, a blockchain lab on Wall Street gives a proof-of-concept demo for the Binance DEX competition being held in 2018. The demo uses the Ardor blockchain platform to build out the decentralized exchange along with other features like crowdfunding to KYC restrictions.
Jaxx Multiwallet will Include Nxt, Ardor, and Ignis
Last week it was pre-announced that Jaxx will include support for our three favorite tokens!
Elizabeth wrote:
Update after the Decentral Cruise where they announced the new Jaxx hardware wallet will be released on July 1. Get ready because it should include Ardor, NXT and Ignis, I hoped for specific mention in the announcement but they didn’t mention included tokens. Let’s watch for more details.
A deep and long look at Ardor. The narrator believes Ardor is a good investment and goes into a thorough explanation as to why. This might not be shocking news for longtime readers but it is always good seeing the wider crypto-sphere confirm our beliefs with independent, unbiased analysis.
A couple days ago I put Ardor on your radar as a good buying opportunity, Today I wanna dive deeper and take a look into what ardor does and if it’s a good investment. Straight forward & easy to understand.
Build the tech and they will come – to Meetups! Last week was a busy week for the public-facing figures in Jelurida, Ardor Nxt Group, and the community. Oxford, Monaco, London, and NYC all were visited!
We had an amazing experience in the yesterday event. Some attendees from the University of Oxford had an idea. They want to setup an Oxford public node for experimenting and being part of the community. The issue is that they do not have funds so I came up with the idea that maybe it might appear some community members willing to lease their balance for them.
Are you willing to contribute leasing your forging power? Please let me know so I can synchronise everything, once everything is set up.
Although the current Ardor transactions fees are very low in terms of rewarding the nodes, the profits would go towards the society’s events, so not for profit of course. It is really interesting that they want to test a rasp pi 3 for forging and get some measures. Thanks! Once they configure their node I´ll let you know the address.
You can contact Almonte on the ArdorNxt Slack, or drop us a line in the comments field.
Elizabeth updated the community along the way, in Slack
In case you missed it in another thread, I just set up a meeting with a man and his colleagues about smart city applications when I am in Arizona next month.
Right before that I connected with a man who wants me to speak at his meetup soon.
I met some really interesting people over lunch including some blockchain builder consultants that said our platform was on their radar and a CEO of a sharing community that wants to build a big blockchain project.
I’m going to try to give you a play-by-play so you will see how productive these events can be.
But maybe of more interest meeting @alex0909 and @gabriel. Here’s proof, I’ll try to grab a photo with Alex the next time I see him
Jealous of all the cool events that you did not go to? No worries as there are many opportunities to meet us, showcase your support, passion, or curiosity about Nxt, Ardor, and Ignis in the coming weeks.

Jelurida has been very busy developing their new Lightweight Contracts concept. Lior wrote about the latest changes that he and the other devs at Jelurida have been at work on. This article does a good job of explaining the technical side of implementing and triggering Lightweight Contracts and goes into deeper detail on “Vouchers” and their usefulness and versatility – analogous to an invoice, but nowhere near as limiting in scope.
He wrote:
To summarize, the design of the lightweight contract feature is rapidly progressing. In the upcoming days, we will release additional examples of new contracts functionality which addresses real use cases, explains how transaction vouchers work, and how they can be easily integrated with contracts to unleash the full power of decentralized applications.
Lior Yaffe in Hackernoon – Introduction to Transaction Vouchers
If it seems like we are hammering you on the head with Transaction Vouchers, hey – thanks for noticing! This is a very useful and immediately applicable concept that Jelurida is being a thought-leader in. As mentioned above, a Transaction Voucher can be thought of as a secure invoice for payment that is easier to use than the current methods. Anyone who has tried to send funds to or from an external third-party exchange, like Bittrex, knows how scary and intimidating the process is. It may not be that hard, but it sure can look less intimidating and Transaction Vouchers are going to go a long way towards making such payments easier and more secure, such is the dream after all!
Lior wrote:
Think about transaction vouchers like an invoice. A request to pay a certain amount to a certain address signed by the private key of the recipient. The idea is based on the Bitcoin Payment Request proposal but using the rich functionality of Ardor/Ignis, we can do so much more.
The voucher itself is a JSON format, composed of the transaction json, transaction bytes and a digital signature of the transaction bytes.
Say, Alice wants Bob to pay her 100 IGNIS. She logs into the Ardor wallet using Bob’s account and sends payment as if she were Bob. Of course, she does not have Bob’s passphrase, so she cannot submit the transaction. Instead, she signs Bob’s payment using her passphrase and generates a voucher.
Alice then downloads the voucher and emails it to Bob.
Bob receives the voucher and loads it into the Ardor wallet. The Ardor wallet automatically verifies that the voucher signature is valid and that the voucher bytes are a correct representation of the voucher transaction JSON. After validation succeeds, the wallet presents Bob with the request, it shows Alice’s address as the recipient, the amount she wants him to pay, any attached messages and any other transaction parameters.
All Bob needs to do is validate the data, sign, and submit the transaction using his passphrase.
(…)
But vouchers are not limited to payments. They can be used for any transaction type supported by Ignis. For example Bob wants to delegate a poll vote to Alice. (…) Or, as another example, Charlie, a forging pool operator, wants Bob to lease his balance to his pool. Again he performs the leasing request on behalf of Bob, then sends a voucher that Bob needs to sign and submit.

Nxter, if you are not forging, please consider leasing your balance to a hub like the above. By doing so, you do not just support a great project, you’ll also be securing your investment in the blockchain. Why? Forgers create all new Ardor blocks, confirm all child chain transactions, and secure the whole Ardor network.
Don’t you know how to lease your balance?
In the Client Dashboard, under your balance, click More Info
Select Account Leasing > Lease your balance to another account
Enter the account you want to lease your balance to
Calculate fee (it’s 0.1 ARDR). Lease Balance.
You can submit 2 leasing transactions just after each other and prolong the leasing period to 92 days. By leasing your balance you do not put your ARDR at risk – you can still use, spend, and move them as you wish. Your coins and your passphrase are not sent to the forging hub – it only gets the ability to forge with your balance.
To support the University of Oxford’s public node, contact almonte or leave us a comment.

Last week the FreeBird team announced that their airdrop and ICO are complete! More FBC tokens can be had by frequent users of their new microblog platform.
Goodrain wrote:
Airdrop and 2.0 ICO is finished.
…
Freebird 2.0 is now available. In order to promote this decentralized microblog system, we launched dividends and active user rewards.
1. Dividends
All FBC (IGNIS asset:10901629157658360185) holders will receive 1% dividend every week. We have prepared 80,000,000 FBC for dividends.
2. Active user rewards
Every week, we will select up to 50 active users to send FBC rewards. Active users are those who publish messages on FreeBird 2.0. We have prepared 20,000,000 FBC for rewards.
The above activities will take effect from today until the end of the rewards.
Last week Bitswift had the following updates, including their CASH token.
bitswiftbro wrote:
instead of focusing on how to build a better blockchain, we focus on apps that connect people to the blockchain
each app having some business aspect to it.. some purpose.
I am most excited for CASH token as we will be marketing it as a “digital currency” and plan to integrate it into future platforms. For example there is nothing saying we cant enable the decentralized marketplace, and have CASH being the primary currency for that market place. I have some other ideas in regards to gaming and CASH token, where we could have a gaming divison of Bitswift that focuses on developing VR content that utilize CASH token. (I am a big fan of VR). Actually I have been thinking quite a bit about using CASH token as the basis for an economy inside a virtual reality world. Where community members could visit to claim CASH tokens, I wonder how CASH could be used to influence player locations and interactions.
I feel volume will pick up as we continue to add more utility to the tokens. Our tech business is also getting an increase in amount of interest from our general business customers regarding crypto. Part of the reason we are releasing Bitswift.cash is so that these users can just enter our ecosystem through that platform which will act as an exchange on its own.
I think Bitswift.cash could also be used as a proof of concept for universal basic income on the blockchain.
LtBrix
Will users be able to trade cash for other cryptocurrencies?
Paul Busch
Yes there will be a market for CASH tokens on the asset exchange.
This is a platform that we support, so expect the market to have support.
Working on legals, business stuff, adding some stats on the CASH token market, testing, more testing, move flexepin service to production, release.
Distribution will happen through the bitswift.cash platform. Users have to claim cash token there to recieve it. Either that or trade it on the asset exchange. Each user can claim the same amount per day.
So the market will go live when we offically launch the platform. ETA… not sure.. it seems to take lawyers a long time to do things. I would hope that we have it publicly available within 30 days or so. That is of course if we are not finding any problems.
Bitswift cash is just one application on bitswift. It provides a use case example for how applications may use the blockchain.
Ardor already has AEUR, the euro gateway, so I am thinking Bitswift.cash will become the Canadian gateway. It should be relatively easy to hook up other payment methods like interac E transfer online, and even credit card for those users we really trust, such as our current business customers.
LtBrix
How many ppl are working on Bitswift with you?
Paul Busch
There are 2 core people doing the blockchain dev stuff, myself doing project management, then we have a few community members who do various things, such as making our reddit look nice for example. Then our tech business has 5 guys doing stuff, and we have admin (my wife) who takes care of all the paperwork. Mike (my brother ) manages all the bitswift.shop stuff. Hes doing a really good job with that, if you check out the products now everything is really nicely formatted and such, hes done that all.
Months ago we wrote about the Action Coin and their ICO. But apart from existing, many people do not know who they are or what differentiates them from thousands of other legitimate platforms out there. In short, they say they are a blockchain-based reward program that is built on Nxt, so there was an airdrop for anyone with a balance of NXT on the Nxt blockchain. We caution against using your Nxt passphrase to login to their site to check on your ACTN tokens as we do not know how secure their site is – use your account address if you want to check your balance – ALWAYS SAFEGUARD YOUR PASSPHRASE.
They wrote:
Action Coin is built on Nxt Blockchain technology
The first cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, was launched only nine years ago. Today there are more than 1500 known cryptocurrencies, and the number of coins is increasing every day. Many of these digital assets are tailored towards payments, but some offer much more than that.
On February 8th 2018, we cloned the Nxt Public Blockchain, thereby forming the basis of the Action Coin Public Blockchain. Our clone includes all of the wallets that were on the Nxt Blockchain when we took the snapshot, and 10% of the total Action Coin supply was automatically airdropped to all (more than 234,000) Nxt holders (as per the terms of the Jelurida JPL), at the approximate ratio of one (1) ACTN for every Nxt held on that date.
That is all for this week, Nxters. Follow us on Twitter or Telegram for important breaking updates during the week as they happen. The blockchain world is growing and progressing with every passing week and our dreams are that much closer to being realized and fulfilled! Progress is hard work, but it is worth it. Learning about blockchains like Ardor is going to be work, but it will pay off once you begin seeing the immediate benefits, trust us. See you back here next week. We will keep you updated on the growing world of distributed ledger technology.

Our dream is a world in which society is all around better, more accountable, more connected, and more convenient – all powered by distributed ledger technology: blockchain. We are living out our dream of a world in which ecosystems of decentralized apps exist and our data is secure and untampered and our voting systems are reliable and immutable. Our dream has a long way to go before it comes to complete fruition, but every week we see progress. Yes, the world seems to have embraced ICO’s, but there is so much more to the technology than trading tokens that are pumped by (insert clueless celebrity here) marketing. Everyone can dream, but not everyone follows through on them. Perhaps you, dear reader, can be inspired by us to make the world better – or at the very least be inspired by our passion and knowledge to join us on our journey. Our journey is only just beginning and we might not know the path, but we do know the end.
Last week as we lived our dream, much happened – especially in the Meetup space, Lior wrote two articles that we summarized – one about the use of Lightweight Contracts and a second concerning Transaction Vouchers, videos were released, an Ardor based proof-of-concept DEX was presented to Binance, Ignis micro-messaging app FreeBird concluded their airdrop and ICO, Bitswift talks about their new CASH token, and much more.
We welcome back our old readers and warmly welcome our new ones. We want our readers to stay up-to-date with the blockchain evolution and we also want our readers to keep themselves and, their data, as safe as possible. Become experts in the Nxt / Ardor / Ignis blockchain ecosystem. So lean back and learn about all of last week’s progress.
This week’s newsletter is put together by apenzl, Jose, James, and rubenbc.
COMMUNITY
Jelurida
As much as we are eagerly waiting for the reveal of the Nxt, Ignis and Ardor roadmap from Jelurida, which will be announced live in Korea this week, it has not been a boring week.
Much of the week went into attending conferences. Also, Lior expanded upon his introduction of Lightweight Contracts with more informative posts about these user-created smart contracts on Ardor. A presentation of a new feature that has been added to the roadmap, “Vouchers” was also explained in more detail.
Read more about this, in the “Development” section down below.
Video – What are the Long-term Business Projections for Jelurida
Last week we announced that community member Patoshi was going to demonstrate an Ardor based DEX to Binance, one of today’s most popular crypto exchanges. Binance launched a “Dexathon” to help them create a new decentralized exchange engine that will run on their own native blockchain: Binance Chain.
After the presentation, Patoshi warned us that a video of the seance will be coming:
it went well! many liked the demo of the reskin and kept thinking it was done by binance…. i have it recorded. i’ll process it and upload it.
Thanks for the work, and the demonstration in NYC!
xCubicle, a blockchain lab on Wall Street gives a proof-of-concept demo for the Binance DEX competition being held in 2018. The demo uses the Ardor blockchain platform to build out the decentralized exchange along with other features like crowdfunding to KYC restrictions.
Jaxx Multiwallet will Include Nxt, Ardor, and Ignis
Last week it was pre-announced that Jaxx will include support for our three favorite tokens!
Elizabeth wrote:
Update after the Decentral Cruise where they announced the new Jaxx hardware wallet will be released on July 1. Get ready because it should include Ardor, NXT and Ignis, I hoped for specific mention in the announcement but they didn’t mention included tokens. Let’s watch for more details.
A deep and long look at Ardor. The narrator believes Ardor is a good investment and goes into a thorough explanation as to why. This might not be shocking news for longtime readers but it is always good seeing the wider crypto-sphere confirm our beliefs with independent, unbiased analysis.
A couple days ago I put Ardor on your radar as a good buying opportunity, Today I wanna dive deeper and take a look into what ardor does and if it’s a good investment. Straight forward & easy to understand.
Build the tech and they will come – to Meetups! Last week was a busy week for the public-facing figures in Jelurida, Ardor Nxt Group, and the community. Oxford, Monaco, London, and NYC all were visited!
We had an amazing experience in the yesterday event. Some attendees from the University of Oxford had an idea. They want to setup an Oxford public node for experimenting and being part of the community. The issue is that they do not have funds so I came up with the idea that maybe it might appear some community members willing to lease their balance for them.
Are you willing to contribute leasing your forging power? Please let me know so I can synchronise everything, once everything is set up.
Although the current Ardor transactions fees are very low in terms of rewarding the nodes, the profits would go towards the society’s events, so not for profit of course. It is really interesting that they want to test a rasp pi 3 for forging and get some measures. Thanks! Once they configure their node I´ll let you know the address.
You can contact Almonte on the ArdorNxt Slack, or drop us a line in the comments field.
Elizabeth updated the community along the way, in Slack
In case you missed it in another thread, I just set up a meeting with a man and his colleagues about smart city applications when I am in Arizona next month.
Right before that I connected with a man who wants me to speak at his meetup soon.
I met some really interesting people over lunch including some blockchain builder consultants that said our platform was on their radar and a CEO of a sharing community that wants to build a big blockchain project.
I’m going to try to give you a play-by-play so you will see how productive these events can be.
But maybe of more interest meeting @alex0909 and @gabriel. Here’s proof, I’ll try to grab a photo with Alex the next time I see him
Jealous of all the cool events that you did not go to? No worries as there are many opportunities to meet us, showcase your support, passion, or curiosity about Nxt, Ardor, and Ignis in the coming weeks.
May 23-29, joining leading #Korean corporations at #Seoul KIIC event for an exclusive project connecting blockchain startups (#Jelurida) with leading Korean companies https://t.co/uhvry9mbYO , will use my time to meet with community, exchanges, startups, more info soon.
