So the distribution of Ardor (tokens, not immediately tradeable in normal exchanges outside of the Next platform) will be on a 1:1 basis on the amount of NXT one wallet has on the date that it is determined in the middle of October 16? Did I get that right?
The Ardor tokens are currently in distribution. Nxt hourly account snapshots started four days ago and will keep happening until network block 1,000,000, due in October 12. Every account will receive after that block an amount of ARDR equal to the average of its NXT balance during these months. Whether ARDR will be tradable right away outside of the Nxt AE is up to every exchange, but it will probably happen soon after tokens are sent. A good deal of AE assets are already being traded at Poloniex and others. Thanks for clarifying. Perhaps you can help with one other doubt: In the Forbes article it says that Bittrex will "help" with the Ardor distribution by providing the snapshot of the NXT wallets at Bittrex Exchange. For what I have read in these recent pages of this thread, I get the impression NXT wants us to get the coins in the online wallets, NOT in the exchanges... what is it? Besides, as of now, I believe you cannot send the out of Bittrex to your online wallet... Thanks for the answers! About Ardor distribution in exchange accounts - BTC38, Bittrex and Poloniex have said that they will help with the snapshots and the distribution, so in principle users holding NXT there should receive their Ardor tokens. However, that still requires to rely on third parties to take snapshots of user balances in the exchange database, since the NXT deposit addresses for users in exchanges are not holding the deposited NXT, but forwarding them to a central account. This means the Nxt network will distribute ARDR to that central account where snapshots have been taken, and then it is again the job of the exchange operators to distribute ARDR to their users according to the snapshots they took. Since there is a commitment from those three exchanges, in principle there's no reason to think they won't do what they committed to do. But the fact there is that third party factor may make people be cautious and still advise to hold NXT in an actual Nxt account, where snapshots and distribution are certain to happen as intended. Both the Nxt Client (or SuperNET Lite) and the MyNXT online wallet handle real Nxt accounts containing the displayed balance, so there's no room for doubt. I don't want to cast doubt on the exchanges, I'm pretty sure they will do as promised. But I do prefer to hold my NXT in my own account and running my own node. Besides the more or less healthy amount of paranoia, this is also for two other reasons: 1) So I can forge with them and build up the network during the snapshot months. 2) Because then I am certain that after block 1,000,000 I will have the Ardor assets in my account, and won't be subject to potential delays in the exchange distribution. But if Polo et al would announce that the ARDR asset will be immediately tradable in their platform after the snapshots, this point would be moot. About sending from Bittrex to the MyNxt online wallet, I don't think there should be any problems. Even if Bittrex demands that you enter the destination public key besides the account, the public key for your wallet account is displayed in the dashboard the first time you log in to MyNxt. So unless Bittrex asked for something unusual, it should work fine. Thank you for the great and detailed explanation.

Not exactly a confidence-inspiring situation in this day and age... Yes but nothing to worry about, these things happen from time to time. Here are the latest news about it: Apparently there's been a network problem with a datacenter affecting multiple servers, among them the MyNxt wallet server which is currently down. I've forwarded a report to the hoster support and I expect to hear back from them this morning.
I'm sorry about the inconvenience but there's nothing else we can do right now but wait for a bit. Although if the response is not fast enough, we'll surely consider changing the hosting environment.
In any case, please don't worry - your Nxt accounts and the Ardor snapshots are not affected by this outage. We'll report as soon as the server is back up.

Not exactly a confidence-inspiring situation in this day and age... We have no news from the site operator yet, but wallet.mynxt.info seems to be up and running again! There was a hardware type of failure in the hosting service, also causing performance issues in the server. It was fixed and we'll be looking into hosting alternatives so this kind of problem does not happen again. MyNxt is a free service, in continuous development by people who basically do volunteer work right now. For the peace of mind of people using the wallet service, rest assured that daily database backups are made so even in the case of a long blackout, and even in the case of users who have never backed up their MyNxt wallet, no accounts would be lost - the only essential security step to make sure that your MyNxt wallet account is safe involves keeping your master password in a secure location.

http://nxt.org/roadmap/ On 12 Oct the ARDR assets (on the NXT blockchain) are distributed amongst NXT holders. Ardor testnet will be launched early Q1. About 6 months later mainnet goes live, ARDR assets are replaced by Ardor tokens, and the first child chain will be launched and tokens distributed amongst NXT holders. So that's Q3 for actual Ardor launch.

How do you back up the browser wallet?
