I would like to know,

what is the average time to receive ark in my wallet.

I sent myself 2 ark from bittrex awhile back and took awhile before it hit my wallet.

I now just sent myself 15K to my wallet and its been at least 15 minutes and I see nothing still!

Its alarming when all other coins come in instantly!

Why is it slow or am I missing something?

Hi,  can someone tell me if the ark fee is gonna stay the same?? 0.1 ark per transaction?? now with a 20 cent ark i don't think is much about 2 cents per transaction but when ark will be worth 5 dollars or 10 dollars .1 ark per transaction will be just way too much... can anyone tell me if the fee will be reduced over time
?? because if it stays the same it will be a great downfall for Ark....

Good article to boost Ark price.

Can you confirm from blockchain that they are ready to add small ark code modifications in their blockchains for smart bridge to function?
Maybe a tweet to Vitalik will help. And if Vitalik shows his interest in it through another tweet, Ark would gain a lot of new users.

What would be the mechanism for determining the new fee?

So, why the new project?

I'm not very familiar with Ark but from what I read it seems very interesting. Especially this part of smartbridge:

Theoretically any blockchain is compatible, including blockchain apps or games built on a blockchain. We only tossed a few names out there that people know. the list is to long to go over.

Can't wait for a more technical explanation of how this would actually work.

But in the meantime... I'm confused...

I have trouble understanding what "Once this tiny code is inserted into the core code of any blockchain, that’s it." actually means. To me this sounds like you will negotiate with each DEV team to include code that would essentially connect to the ARK blockchain and capture these transactions. This doesn't sound tiny to me. And I'm not sure if the devs from other (at least major) coins would be willing to do this.

On the other hand you mention Encoded Listeners, which to me sound like multi-chain relay nodes that could capture SmartBridge transactions on the ARK chain and then perform a transaction on another chain. This makes more sense and you can make them compatible yourselves. It does sound like a ton of work + the maintenance to keep it compatible with new versions.

Not all are pools. This should also help you out :
