=== How do I access my Ardor account on the Ardor client/wallet? ===
Please follow these instructions to see how you can do so. Your MyNxt Master Password is likely not the same as your Nxt account passphrase. Please note that this service has been discontinued.

=== Why am I getting a Java error when I try to start the software? ===
Ardor relies on Java 8. Make sure you download and install latest version installed from Oracle! You can check to see which version of Java is running on your computer by running the following command in a terminal window:

java -version

=== Why cannot I open the client in a web browser? ===
First of all, you need to make sure that the Ardor server window has finished loading, as indicated by a message like this:

Ardor Server vx.xx.xx started successfully.
To access your client interface, you can then use either of these addresses:

http://localhost:7876/
http://127.0.0.1:7876/

=== Why doesn't my blockchain finish loading? ===
Patience is usually the best fix; your client will eventually catch up with the network. Some delay may occur specially when you have updated to a new software version that performs a database upgrade. If you are in a hurry you can download a recent copy of the blockchain from the Jelurida web site.

=== Why do my blockchain files keep getting corrupted? ===
The blockchain database may get corrupted as a result of the Ardor software being forcefully terminated in a way that doesn't allow the server to close the database properly. You should be able to see "Database shutdown completed" in the log before shutdown as a sign that data files have been properly closed. To prevent data corruption when closing Ardor:

In Windows, use Ctrl-C to shut down the process in the terminal window
In UNIX, use kill -15 #ID PROCESS do not use kill -9 #ID PROCESS.

=== I keep accessing a different account number than the one I created. What's going on? ===
Since different account numbers are accessed using different passphrases, getting a different account number than the one you expected means you used a different passphrase than the one originally used to generate your account number. Make sure you are introducing your original passphrase correctly. This means double-checking for typing mistakes, and ensuring no extra spaces are accidentally pasted (or omitted!) in the beginning or the end of your passphrase as you paste it to unlock your account.

=== Does Jelurida still maintain Nxt? ===
Yes, Jelurida will continue to support and develop both Ardor and Nxt. A portion of the funds from the Ignis token sale was reserved towards Nxt development as explained in the Whitepaper.

=== How can I buy IGNIS ? ===
