As per Richie Lai (Bittrex), regarding distribution of ARDR: "We are waiting for NXT to provide us with the MECHANICALS to proceed with the distribution..."

So, what's up devs? Distribution of ARDR, just like in the wallets, should have already been occurring in the exchanges. I figure a lawsuit would be in order, of course. At Bittrex alone, there are more than 8 million NXT in hundreds of accounts.

Looking at purchasing roughly 70k NXT tokens and I just setup my 1GHs ETransactions farm to mine to a ShapeShift wallet that auto converts ETH to NXT to reach my goal of 10Contractoins.

This project solves all the problems I feel ETH and other platforms have and adds functionality on top....The fact that Barclays is holding out to see what the Smart Contract/Blockchain world has to offer, makes me think that they don't think that ETH is the be all end all. They mention that competition is a good thing, and this definitely proves that to me. I can see major companies adopting the NXT 2.0 system and I want to be a part of that...

I can't wait to see what the next few months have it store...

Will there be no market makers to start trading it? I think there should be because we cannot rely on the people. It might be a discouraging sight if there will be not enough volume for Ardor in the exchanges and it would look dead to the people outside this community.

Flawless victory!
Etc 1 x 0 fud

Now let pump etc! And short eth.

From a technical standpoint, the coin called ETC is as "complete" as the coin called ETH - they are literally identical at this moment in how they are pushing around their 1s and 0s in cyberspace.  

Thus any differences in perceived value between them are due to the community that surrounds them.  So it's the community around ETC is incomplete, not the coin.

The ETC community has existed for two weeks instead of two years like the ETH group.

The key metric is that the ETC community, existing only 2% as long as ETH community, is being valued by the market as having 20% of the value of the ETH community.

So...if 2 weeks =20% equality market value... at this rate parity at 100% will occur in eight more weeks by early October.

 


If  what some ETC claim is true, that ETH hackers stole the DAO 7+ million ETC, isn't that playing straight to their hands? I mean they will want to realize those $18 million, right?

From March 9: "The Ethereum developers have made available the first python based proof of concept (simulation) release of Serenity, the version of the Ethereum protocol designed to move from consensus through proof-of-work to proof-of-stake.  Called Serenity PoC2 (which contains the Casper economic consensus protocol)  is now available on Github and continues to be not a testnet-ready or production-ready client, according to Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Butterin."

 

Here comes the rally... 4,770 top. And counting...


I believe we could go towards setting new highs all the way to 10k sat.

But there will be bouts of sells that will bring the price down once in a while too, of course.

The ARDR scheme is working like magic. Very, very, very smart.

This guy Shannon Code, he's about to.... well, you know... he and his team have so many ideas.... buying a company, three planes, a building (70 floors minimum- in Manhattan...  Any moment now...

Just for the record, in case anyone else is interested in countertrading against appearances of the mighty troll barabbas, here are two recent examples:

Example #1:


He wrote that in the NAUT thread on February 22.  On July 6, NAUT price hit 86k on Bittrex, despite the fact that he stated the "boomerang P&D" was over.  If you'd bought NAUT when he posted on February 22, when the range was 4949-8994, you could've sold on July 6 for a profit range of up to 956-1733%; if you were still holding today from that purchase, you would still be in 800-1454% profit, given today's current price around 72k.

Example #2:

I can't embed the quote from the now-locked Syscoin thread, but this is what Barabbas posted there, funnily enough also on February 22:

"OK, pump is done. Now what, back to below 100?"

On March 16, the price of SYS hit 4143sat on Bittrex.  If you'd bought SYS on February 22, after barabbas made his post, you would've bought between 465-649sat.  If you'd sold on March 16, you could've had profit in the range of 638-890%.  And again, if you were still hodling from your purchase on February 22, you would currently be up 185-267%, with today's price hovering around 1200sat.

So yes, barabbas, one could've made a shit ton of money counter-trading off just those two posts you made on February 22.

I don't have enough data points yet to know whether barabbas is consistently counter-tradable like Seaman, but I do think this is bullish for RBR.

Takk.

You are quite right, I believe, regarding price/barometer. But you forget the most important and the determining factor in NXT, since practically the very beginning: The fat wallets owners have one (logical) purpose. One only: To cash in on their holdings as fast (but orderly) as possible. Wouldn't you? They own many millions, tens of millions of it. And they won't be wealthy until they sell, at a decent price, most of their holdings. So the selling pressure is absolutely constant. At any price. And, logically, sucks up every wave of buying. The market doesn't allow for more of what has happened in the last few weeks (much bigger fish to catch) and therefore the price will continue going down... all the way to where it was before the Ardor announcement. No one of the small fish is selling (they are all accumulating ARDR), but the fat wallets are selling as much as they can and as quickly as they can. Like I said, they do it in an orderly fashion to keep the price from nosediving, but the selling is relentless. That was before ARDR and continues now that the influx from current holders have subside. That's how NXT "works".

As for Ardor itself, I have been trying to understand what it is and I believe I have it, finally. It's just a relative small advance in the same already existent technology. I guess what I was hoping for was some kind of actual REAL WORLD use of it. There's none. It isn't a technology that is going to be used by any real company. Any bank. Any retailer. Any exchange. Any country. It is a technology that will be used -as it is already- in the "Asset exchange", which is basically trading between a minimal group of people "assets" of no value or relevance in the real world. Or by chimeric "customers", such as NAUT or the Democracy thing that no country will ever use in the real world. So, again, it is something sold only to the exact same of convinced people with the exact same amount of resources but that is no closer to any mainstream use than it was two and a half years ago. Oh, and yes, the blockchain technology is being pushed in the real world, but it is being pushed (studied, experimented with...) by big REAL companies that will eventually come up with ready-to-implement solutions that will be sold to all the big companies (REAL ones) that are going to implement it.

As for the idea of decentralization... well, let's just say it is never, ever going to happen in the real world. Ever. And for good, evident reasons.

So now I finally understand that all the speak here -and in other boards- is directed at the "cult", not at the real world. But isn't it fun?
