Well if that was the guy from that 4chan, he said he has some medical issues - so who knows maybe ARK just saved someone a life look at it from this point of view.

Someone decided to exit - nothing wrong with that if that was his exit point he took the profit and moved on, people are too much into conspiracies and dev dumping, we are not going anywhere and no one of us dumped anything - everything is on the blockchain. Looking at Trex charts it was ranging from 24k all the way down to around 10k so it wasn't sold at 9949 each, but at the buy orders that were sat between this span.

Does it show balance in your ARK desktop wallet? If it does its OK - cold wallet will change to normal wallet once you send something out (since this will be the first time it will actually interact with the network)


If not you are probably using wrong settings (like nethash or forced peer) in ARK Desktop wallet. Make sure you have v1.1.0 ( https://github.com/ArkEcosystem/ark-desktop/releases ). If that won't help you'll need to clear cache from your storage

Press CTRL+D in ark desktop wallet - a menu will open on the right (click on tab CONSOLE) and copy/paste this in the command line and press ENTER :

localStorage.clear();window.location.reload();

This will clear local cache now add your wallet again ("+ import address) and input your passphrase for that ARK address AVCthfdHB1RQcMVvdorkwWEEjDnXjv35Ws .

Ask them, they might be upgrading to newest core release (if you hover over it does say "wallet update")

Yeah a lot of scam projects out there - we are here for the long run and our community is just awesome not to mention we are not even 1 month old since main net and there is already a lot of community members making plans on what they'll develop on ARK, I personally cannot be more happy with everyone that got involved so far and I hope others join and brainstorm in our Slack.

Haven't heard of such problems. Try in another browser or contact their support.

Yes :

1. generate ARK address with one of the methods (DON'T FORGET TO SAVE PASSPHRASE ! )https://blog.ark.io/how-to-generate-your-own-ark-address-and-passphrase-5e4e1257ca5e
2. https://tec.ark.io/dashboard input the address in the field - click on save and sent
3. wait for it to be broadcasted on the network
4. Enjoy your ARKs and welcome aboard

Inflation happens when new blocks get generated (its an incentive for node operators to keep servers up and running) - in ARK blocks are generated every 8 seconds with a reward 2 new ARK per block (this means that 2 new ARK gets in circulation every 8 seconds). Our inflation is very low when comparing to other projects and as rewards stays at 2 ARK per block, inflation will go down each year.

It usually takes a few minutes + you need to confirm withdrawal from Bittrex. You can also use explorer to see if your address has received anything https://explorer.ark.io/

Yeah by supporting our delegates you are supporting the network (no computer power needed on your part you can close the wallet once you are done with the voting).

Yes if you want to vote for more than 1 delegate you need to split your main wallet address into 2 or more addresses (send from one wallet you hold to another and vote for another delegate from there).

TL;DR : 1 ark address can vote for 1 delegate at a time

Good luck BlockPool!

No problem. That is great to hear that everything went smooth, welcome aboard Ark!

Hi Hebe123,

welcome to Ark. OK so first you'll need to install Ark Desktop client and get them off the exchange (withdrawal option).

1. https://github.com/ArkEcosystem/ark-desktop/releases download current version (1.1.0) for your OS (Linux,Mac or Win)
2. Follow this guide to generate yourself your private Ark wallet (since you'll be installing Ark Desktop Client you can use that part) : https://blog.ark.io/how-to-generate-your-own-ark-address-and-passphrase-5e4e1257ca5e - make sure you save that 12 word passphrase, that is your access to your wallet!
3. Withdraw from exchange (input the Ark address you generated) and wait for it to hit your wallet
4. Now you need to upvote a delegate of your choosing with instructions here : https://blog.ark.io/how-to-vote-or-un-vote-an-ark-delegate-and-how-does-it-all-work-819c5439da68

P.S. : You can use this pool calculator made by delegate 'dafty' = https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FGo3FkC3uSWXGHatPQyny2brMWjAIJsHFCR-Lhkl_m0/edit#gid=0  or read proposals here https://forum.ark.io/category/5/delegates
