Hey guys !
I've downloaded the nxt client to move my ARDR out of Bittrex. I've started with a small quantity just in case I screw up. Everything went well though I've this message "Warning: your account public key ### has not been published to the blockchain. This means it is not as protected as other accounts. You must make an outgoing transaction to fix this issue. (Set account info, send a message, buy an alias, send NXT, ...)".
According to the wiki, my public key can be announced if another account makes a transaction to "me". Isn't it what I did by sending ARDR from Bittrex to the nxt wallet? Or since ARDR is an asset on the nxt chain, it does not count as a transaction? Do I really need to buy NXT to secure my account? Is it unsafe to leave my ARDR stored this way? Thanks!
