Made my money with Ardor testnet.

Nextstep = Ignis

Bitcoin is currently getting all the investment funds... Give it some time to adjust.

I've got a question:

Is it possible to realize "pegged childchains" with Ardor?

An example: Ignis is probably the strongest childchain in the beginning phase. Now I could want to create a "IgnisPeg" childchain pegged to the Ignis value. For this to happen, I would have to lock the amount of Ignis I want to use as the "backing" of the peg, for example, 1000 Ignis. On the IgnisPeg childchain I then could issue 1000 IgnisPeg with a value of 1 IgnisPeg = 1 Ignis. The total amount of IgnisPeg coins could at some moment be burned and then the original Ignis I used to back the childchain would be unlocked.

That mechanism (very similar to what Blockstream is developing) could help to further enhance scalability once the Ignis childchain blocks are full.

Will be more exposures to raise the brand of NXT and ARDR for the foundation in the crypto community. More ecosystem is money, now NXT is very big ecosystem.

What do you mean by "the Ignis childchain blocks are full."?

What do you mean by "the Ignis childchain blocks are full."?

I mean that there could be a situation like in Bitcoin today - in the case Ardor gets popular -, that many transactions are waiting in the mempool to be confirmed. I don't know if there is a block size limit / transaction number limit for child chain blocks, but I think I remember that in NXT there was such a limitation (for regular blocks).

In this case, a pegged childchain like the "IgnisPeg" I describe in the other post could relieve the block size problem. Also if the Ignis childchain gets very big (I know it's prunable, but the community should aim for a large number of full archival nodes) it would make sense, even if there was no bottleneck with transactions.

I've dived a bit in the NXT documents and there seems to be a mechanism for such "pegged coins": a combination of the "Claimable" and the "Reservable" properties of a MS currency. My question is, then: Would this be also possible in Ardor with child-chain currencies (the peg could be with ARDR or with IGNIS or another childchain)?

(I know it's a long-term problem, but as Ardor is specially built with scalability in mind, it would be a very nice feature).

Price waist cut half, why?

Almost every alts get hit recently, and some lost more than a half price.

ARDOR is still very young and so just be patient.

Yeah, other altcoins also halve because bitcoin is rising a lot, panic sellers sold the coins for bitcoin. They will panic buy soon.

[dranster]

Dont worry bagholders, Ardor will hit 2000 again next month

Be Patient and just keep buying more and more coins

AAAARDORR!!!!

FYI, newcomers!
Did you know you can mine NXT (and buy Ardor with it on the Nxt Asset Exchange!) in the Lucky node project?
Computational and bandwidth requirements are very low - some users run it on a Raspberry Pi.
Run the node 24/7 or as often as you can while you work or play.
Join in with the over 100 nodes that are already in the project.
