Cool you figured it out! Be careful! Use password manager like KeePassX. Also take a look at <em>nxtvault</em> and <em>vapor</em> for secure offline nxt accounts.

Reading through this sub, it looks like NXT is done. Not a lot of happy people, and no it's got nothing to do with BTC. I was ready to load up on NXT until I gauged the sentiment here (independent of the falling price). NTX used to be the #3 coin :/ https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20140601/

Exchanges probably do not offer IGNIS ICO/snapshot. You can either buy IGNIS / JLRDA currency when ICO starts in the NXT Wallet or hold your NXT for the Snapshot and get 0.5 IGNIS for every NXT.

You have to decide for yourself if its better to buy Ardr or IGNIS.

Maybe this article helps if you want to participate in the IGNIS ICO: https://steemit.com/ignis/@goashu/ignis-ico-your-options-here

Don't look day by day, you'll drive yourself crazy! https://cryptowat.ch/poloniex/nxtbtc/1w

Flip the toggle switch to "Logarithmic" instead of "Linear". The day by day movement is of no concern. This ship turned around at the end of Oct. I bought NXT as a possible use case so the price doesn't mean that much to me but I scooped it up while it was a bargain.

As long as you're only doing conversions during the first or second round of ICO's then you should come out ahead, if not you should hold until the snap shot.

Read this, or at least the section "ǸXT solutions"

As it stands now, other than the occasional faucet, the only real way to obtain NXT (other than buying it) is to help NXT itself. The coin still requires a lot of development, and plenty of "bounties" are offered if you can do this or that (android client, translations, find bugs, ...). Getting money from forging won't simply happen, if you don't have a whole lot of NXT you won't forge a thing. If you do have a lot of NXT, you still get very little. The real strength of NXT is the features it allows you to build upon it.

Hi, Smart contracts in Nxt and Ardor are called Smart Transactions. More info: https://steemit.com/nxt/@wooddagawd/nxt-core-development-team-launches-full-suite-of-smart-transactions

More info about Plugins: https://nxtwiki.org/wiki/Plugins Plugins on Child Chains in Ardor won't be embedded in the blockchain as far as i know, because plugins are almost always Third party software. If someone has a better answer, please let me know :)

We have finally released Ignis! All Freewallet NXT holders have received 0.5 free Ignis for each NXT they had on December 28th. You can view your Ignis balance in the Multi Wallet app or download the Ignis wallet on Google Play. To see how many Ignis you have, go to "Receive" and generate your new Ignis wallet address. After that, check your balance.

This is, however, an early release and some operations are currently unavailable with Ignis. For example, you can't make outgoing transactions at this time. This is a temporary situation, and we're in direct contact with Ignis developers to get it resolved by the end of March.

We're very sorry for keeping you waiting! Our mission is to make managing Ignis simple, convenient and efficient for our users. It has taken more time than we anticipated, but we will make good on our promises. Thank you so much for your understanding and support!

So what do you make of this?

You can verify if ShapeShift has received the fund by following these instructions.

Replace the<ShapeShift 'Sent To' address> in the following link with the 'Sent To' address that you took https://shapeshift.io/txstat/<ShapeShift 'Sent To' address>

When I did this, ShapeShift is saying that the status is "no_deposits". Any ideas?

Seriously?another idiot posting this shit? This is starting to look like an attack. go to https://www.cryptocompare.com/coins/ignis/overview/USD?altTemplate=WebPageAMPCoinP if u are too dumb to calculate. I hope u can read though... stop spreading false informations and spreading fud here only that u can buy cheap

1 - The official Nxt wallet - https://www.jelurida.com/nxt/downloads

2 - Ardor (and ignis) is another multichain blockchain platform developed by the same core developers who develope Nxt - jelurida. Waves is a different project created by a former member of the Nxt community

3- When somebody clones Nxt and creates a new blockchain, they need to assign/airdrop at least 10% of the cloned coins to Nxt holders. You don't receive the airdrop in your Nxt wallet, but instead you receive your cloned coins in the clone's wallet -just log in clone's wallet using the same credentials you currently use to log in to your Nxt wallet (i.e. same passphrase or same account number with a different prefix)

4- Nxt has a lot of built-in features (Asset creation, marketplace, voting system, alias, marketplace, shuffling, smart transactions...) so the imagination is the only limit

5- Jelurida are the Nxt/Ardor core devs. On the other hand, Nxter is an excellent website created by members of the community.

I recommend https://shapeshift.io/

Their slogan is: "Buy Coins Instantly No Account Needed"

It's fast, easy and you don't need to register for an account - you just use it. It seems that there is no (or low) risk that they can steal your coins. Sometimes they compare it with google translate.

/u/Archiver_test4, we temporarily disabled the buying feature while we're looking for better prices for our users. Once there is an optimum solution, we'll make sure to let our users know. In the meantime, you can top up your wallet with other coins via the smart pay-in feature. Apologies for the inconvenience!

/u/mrohit48, all you need is to have NXT in your Freewallet balance at the moment of the snapshot. See our brief instruction, please.

lurker10k, no users reported their funds lost or stolen by us because none were missing. If you personally know someone who experienced issues with Freewallet, please ask them to contact us in the in-app chat, by email at or via the contact form on our website (https://freewallet.org/support/contact/). We'd like to review their situations and make sure they are addressed appropriately.

h31l1g3rb1mb4m, IGNIS tokens are going to be distributed to all NXT holders on the blockchain. So no matter where you keep your NXT, you'll be eligible for the equivalent in IGNIS.

Freewallet is monitoring the situation around the IGNIS ICO as well as anticipating the launch of Ardor main net. We'd be happy to make an announcement for our users when there's more information on it, so keep an eye out for our updates, please :)

No problem! And yes, that is correct. Nxt started in late 2013 when almost all of the other tokens other than Ripple had "coin" in their name. The creator of Nxt wanted to move away from that as we are, indeed, focusing more on Blockchain-as-a-Service. We focus less on having NXT used as a form of currency outside the platform and instead focus on the platform being used for projects. Also, currencies can be created on Nxt, with the most prominent one being NAUT.

Other newer platforms, even those that focus on the currency aspect, such as Monero and Dash, are also moving away from the "coin" part with a similar strategy in mind. One can actually roughly gauge the age of the project if it has "coin" in its name or not. There are a few exceptions though.

The name IGNIS was chosen with a community poll last year on Nxtforum.org. It was meant to reference the start of the platform as an ignition of sorts.
