I hold some NXT - but though I read a lot about the ICO and Ignis airdrop, I have no idea what to do.
Can someone tell me, what my best bet is - can I keep it on bittrex and wait for the airdrop. Does the
airdrop work on an exchange? When is the snapshot going to be?
It probably works on the big exchanges. But better check with Bittrex to confirm - I am not aware of an official announcement yet.
It would be more advisable to not risk it - it's always better not to leave coins in an exchange.
Setting up the wallet is actually quite easy. For smaller amounts you can even use the
online wallets or light wallets (these will also give you IGNIS on the air-drop). Just create a good password and send your coins there.
For big amounts, download the software, then the blockchain - and then do the same.
Is is safer to invest in the third part of the ico?
It's not safer to take part in the ICO vs. just leaving the NXT in your wallet. It just gives you a bit more IGNIS.
Taking part in the current ICO means you're selling your NXT. And not taking part means you'll keep your NXT but get 0.5 IGNIS once it's launched (should be very soon after the ICO).
What will give more returns? Nobody can guarantee... it all depends on how well the launch goes, and if there is demand for Ignis and if NXT might get dumped.
You can read all infos about the
ICO process on the Jelurida page, they also have stuff on the roadmaps.
