![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Fp9qI0KH.png&t=665&c=zKDR2A9A6lgclA) Aricoin is one of the oldest, true to source networks still (just about) running today. Aricoin is based on Litecoin v0.8.0 released in early 2013. Aricoin was originally launched as OlympicCoin (OLY) on Feb 7th, 2014 to celebrate the opening of the Sochi Winter Olympics. After the event, the original team later planned a rebranded with the help of an exchange in 2014 in order to facilitate development of our tipping platform that reached 100,000 signups, unfortunately the exchange partnership didn't work out due to an alleged hack and most of our users and original project developers lost everything. This is when Aricoin fell into the hands of the bitcointalk community (yes, that's you reading this so you're obligated to help)... It's in this time of need, Aricoin is continuing that call to the bitcointalk community to help keep our network and development alive as one of the first 100 altcoins ever created, true to Satoshi's vision with a pure, clean code base much closer to the code Satoshi and Gavin created than the complex codebase of today. If you're reading that means, dive into our GitHub, reach out to exchanges and see what you can do to help Aricoin get back on track! Aricoin Specifications: The Aricoin network is currently being kept alive by psycodad on bitcointalk and his hard work setting up nodes and updating code to prevent exploits. Original Aricoin thread: Aricoin's 2014 Vision "Cryptocurrency is so powerful yet less than 0.01% of the population have ever used it. Why?" It's too complicated! Aricoin is changing that by making cryptocurrency easy to understand. The only cryptocurrency with it's own currency symbol ₳ on every keyboard in the world! Hundreds of altcoins have been released that focus on protocol innovation, while we see this as a very important aspect in the evolution of crypto we feel the real priority lies in getting the general public and people outside the tech community using cryptocurrency. The aim of Aricoin Project Supporters is to accomplish this as fast as possible. Non-tech savvy users don't need to know how things work behind the scenes. They simply need to know the benefits of cryptocurrency and that they are supporting a much fairer financial system. AricoinPay does all the hard work and displays everything in an easy to understand manor. Aricoin Innovations:- AricoinPay (BETA)
AricoinPay is an advance system similar to PayPal (without the negative side) that improves upon the Aricoin cryptocurrency experience by making it easy to use and understand. Our web API offers developers a way of integrating with cryptocurrency faster than ever before to push innovation to new heights.
- Easy Access with Gift Cards
- Gift cards can be made for any of our supported currencies and allow for much easier access to the cryptocurrency world without any fees. You can create and redeem gift cards in seconds with AricoinPay.
- Tipping / MicroPayments
- Users can show appreciation by tipping without worrying about processing fees. 1,000 users can tip $0.10 for a well written article that will generate the website owner $100. MicroPayments are impossible on any other payment service due to high processing fees. Tipping is just one example of an innovative use of our web API. You can place a script on your site that will generate a tip button for every page.
- Easy Integration
- You can accept Aricoin for every product on your site with just one line of code. As more developers join us we will grow to support a wide range of online shopping carts. For now payment buttons can be added sitewide with some coding or product payment pages can be created manually.
- Local Currencies
- To make it easier for users to understand we offer the ability to have prices around the site displayed in local currencies. We currently support displaying in ARI, USD, GBP, CNY, AUD, BRL, CAD, HKD, IDR, JPY, MXN, NZD, SGD, CHF.
- No Transaction Fees
- AricoinPay will always operate with zero transaction fees. We will be charging high volume merchants a small fee, but until then we are relying on donations sent to the Aricoin project.
- No Chargebacks
- Merchants have no risk of chargebacks or lost funds, every transaction on AricoinPay is final.
- Advance Payments
- AricoinPay supports recurring payments and gives the option to redirect to a custom URL after a purchase occurs. You pay users by email on AricoinPay, you don't need to remember a long complicated address. If the user hasn't got an account we create a gift card and email the user with a redeem link.
- Anonymity
- When an account is created on AricoinPay you are given an anonymous account tag. You can use this instead of your email to remain anonymous while receiving payments.
- Send from Any Device
- AricoinPay is web-based and optimised for most popular mobile and tablet devices. As long as you have an internet connection you can use Aricoin without any additional software. We are in the process of testing SMS payments for offline payment handling.
- AricoinPay API
- Our API provides access to the send, balance and transaction history features of AricoinPay. With an account secret key you can access any of these methods by sending a signed request to one of our API urls.
- Instant Payment Notifications (IPNs)
- You can configure a URL to be notified when a payment has been made to you. We ping this URL with data about the transaction so you can handle the customer.

- Copywriting (explaining Aricoin in a fun, simple way)
- Translating (with clear, professional writing)
- Site outreach (asking sites to accept Aricoin)
- Brainstorming (we would love to hear your ideas)
- Moderation (tasks involve accepting new members, ensuring quality)
- Exchange Outreach (get us on more exchanges)
- Wallet Development (help with major wallet changes)
- Programming (C++/python/PHP)
- Database scaling (MySQL/AWS)
- Graphic design (very high standard)
- UX design (web/mobile)
- Blockchain Explorer (from existing source)
- Mining Pool Outreach (increase network strength)
What skills can you bring to the Aricoin team? If you feel you could contribute or know anyone who specialises in the above areas please message this account asap.

However, some users shorten 'aricoin' to 'ari' in speech when referring to the sending/receiving of funds, for example: ARI is also our 3 letter trade symbol, it can be used to identify Aricoin on currency exchanges.

Aricoin is awesome. I was in there open beta when they first started rebranding it from OlympicCoin. They are extremely fast in sending and receiving and I never had any issues with their wallet or online platform. They are as fast as Stellar and Ripple when sending and receiving. I wish nothing but the best for the Aricoin Team. You guys did a outstanding job with this. Keep up the good work.

@tommy69778 Glad you like it! We planned to launch before Christmas but MintPal's downfall caused huge problems that delayed everything.
@luckykitty You can buy from one of the listed exchanges.
@garmin, @Convicted2008 Thank you! We could not have asked for better BETA testers. You did it all for nothing, that means a lot to us!
@jasemoney Yes it has been a long journey! We rebranded from OlympicCoin a few months ago in preparation for the new system.
