We have been working very hard to deliver the DIX token swap. We really wanted to deliver the swap earlier in the month, but we dealt with a few unforeseen issues that set us back a little when we tried to improve upon a few things. Fortunately (for us), the market has not been very nice for many, so we felt this was a good period of time that allowed us to really take the time necessary to get the development right.
Our goal initially was to have Ondori active on exchange by early September. Taking into account pre swap notification time, early swapping period, and an exchange lock until a fair number of wallets were available to place their orders on the exchange, made this an appropriate time frame. Although we didn't get the swap started when we had first liked to, it’s still been our goal to be open and trade on exchange come this early September.
With that said, we are letting everyone know that after we are confident in the coding, we will begin the swap window within 5 days of that completion of testing. These 5 days will be a PoW phase for the initial pre-mined supply. This is the time frame that everyone will have to get ready before we begin the swap window.
In addition, there will be a zero reward (PoS/MN) phase until block 18721 in order to allow as many members to get Ondori into their wallet before reward period is activated. This will also give time for many to set up their MNs as well. We want a fair start for as many as we can.
The automatic 10% budget allocation that was announced in the Whitepaper will not be generated with block reward when PoS/MN rewards become active. We will still honor the portion of block reward and will make sure that there is Ondori still given to budget. We will keep you posted.
Important notes:
We have talked with stocks.exchange and have agreed that we will delist the DIX asset token much sooner than later. It is advised that you move what tokens you have to your NXT wallets as soon as possible. There will be a formal announcement to come. Those who are holding in the exchange up to the last minute are at their own risk.
We have also decided that we will not honor any swapping of DIX tokens that were purchased after the coming swap start date. We figure that many have had enough time to buy DIX tokens during this period and in an effort to try and get thru the swap phase quickly, we have made this decision.
It is advised that you stop buying DIX tokens once the formal announcement has been released. We will verify all accounts, and any purchases after the date and time of the start of swap window will be void.
We’ve had a great run thus far in Round 4 of the Shardax community voting. We are currently holding a strong 4th place. We have done a fantastic job with coming together as a community! Given our size, this is something to be especially proud of.
We do still have an opportunity since not all members of our community are taking the time to vote, and if that’s you, please take a moment to reflect on why you do not want to help contribute to your investment and help get your coin listed on an up and coming exchange with a free listing. If the excuse is because you are hoping to help keep supply low by not advertising our coin, well please don’t let that stop you as supply is becoming a bit scarce for most buyers and will only help strengthen Ondori’s position post swap at entry.
Please be aware that we will be taking part in Round 5 if we do not win this round. It is our hope that we will have the distribution of Ondori coin to holder wallets by Round 5 and that we are actively listed on exchange at that time. Our community will grow in numbers post swap, which will give us an even better opportunity in our effort to win.
Currently Round 4 will end on the 30th of August 2018 at 23:59 GMT+1. Those that have been voting, thank you, please continue the awesome job you're doing! Those who have not been voting, get off your hands and contribute please. It only takes a moment to vote and your votes do matter.

Thank you,
