57 pages, well prepared document.
I will certainly get into the details before the ICO.
Jezus! You weren't kidding. That is some fucking high quality document.
That's why I always bet on the NXT crew *wipestearfromeyes*
After Ignis there will be others child blockchains? Such fragmentation (nxt, ardr, ignis) of the functional over the chains is a necessity?
It's kinda the whole point, ain't it?
From the start the child-chains will be limited, as far as I understand. Only over time will more be added that can even have distinctive features.
Imagine you're a business, and you want to offer loyalty-tokens for your clients... then you can create a child chain. The business doesn't have to program their own cryptocurrency.
NXT had the "MS Currencies" function, but the drawback was that you still had to use NXT for transfers and such. Plus, the price was always dependent on NXT. This problem is solved with Ardor. Users of the loyality-tokens for example don't have to care about Ardor at all. No Ardor fees are necessary inside the child chain.
Due to the new approach Ardor will lose some features that NXT has. That's why NXT will stay around and will still have developer support.
