[ARI][₳] Aricoin

[Aricoin]

 

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!

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.

How Can I Help?


Aricoin is growing faster than we could have ever imagined! We have thousands of people interested in helping but don't have the manpower to handle the management of everyone.

In particular we're looking for help in the following areas:

• Community Management (in each major language)
• 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.

Terminology
Aricoin with a capital 'A' refers to the currency as a whole.
aricoin with a small 'a' refers to units of currency (aricoin can be used as both singular and plural).

However, some users shorten 'aricoin' to 'ari' in speech when referring to the sending/receiving of funds, for example:

• In written form "Send a payment of ₳50,000 to johnsmith@email.com"
• Can be pronounced  "Send a payment of fifty thousand ari to johnsmith@email.com"

ARI is also our 3 letter trade symbol, it can be used to identify Aricoin on currency exchanges.

I like the Gift cards idea, I've never seen it in a coin before. It would have come in handy over Christmas.

Congratulations on the new thread, It looks awesome.

[Convicted2008]

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.

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.

[luckykitty]

Need a better exchange even Bittrex, the listed exchanges have no volume at all.

yes, your money is lost

you might as well play lotto every day because you are more likely to win that then to see those coins again.  

either get revenge or move on, because justice will cost you much more than 300K Aricoin


sorry

ARI   792,679   per      https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=824211.0      


you should put the "ARI" in your thread headline

also contact Market cap to add your coin to their site   

http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/aricoin/

Aricoin already is on coinmarketcap

and also on Coinwarz.com

http://www.coinwarz.com/cryptocurrency/coins/aricoin

problem is that those two pages do not support small exchanges like https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/Exchange/1142 and they do not have data about volume, exchange rate...

When Aricoin will be added on Cryptsy or Bittrex that will change!

do not forget to vote! https://www.cryptsy.com/coinvotes/

Aricoin already has 22382 votes and it is on 1.st place!

Thank you Armis however that thread is not up-to-date.

We can't find a post to back up the missing 792k it claims.  
However we did see a user post saying they are missing ~8M ARI. They have already been in touch.

sometimes people make mistakes,  however in the CC industry you have to beware of the people who are trying to move markets to their advantage

first impressions make longer impressions so move it up as quickly as possible so that the trade is viewed as an error rather than a right.

10BTC buy walls on bittrex.. to the moon!!!

not quite. theres 11btc all day on the buy side. majority under 60satoshi, meanwhile the sell side has 7btc of downward pressure in the first 10 sells... -_-

though its doing much better since it hit bittrex, and is a cool coin 

[jasemoney]

oh wow you're right, traders suck. why buy low and sell 10% higher! let the market grow slow, it can't support manipulation this early

heh since i said that the sell wall got pulled, and its up 50% so what do i know..

[melwinder]

If I had some miners I would put them to Ari cause it seems like a good investment down the road...
I will keep an eye on it though and see what happens!

it looks that somebody is really trying to push the price as low as he can!

Price suppression is everything in crypto trading.

The @Cryptsy has not added any new crypto to the exchange site for about 2 months.

Aricoin now ranks #2 on the voting list next to NKT, to be added to the exchange site.

The trading of new coins @Cryptsy usually starts on Monday, Friday or at times Saturday.

With such low volume in these few weeks, i afraid it can be delisted from bittrex

[Dirgantara]

This market is in danger of de-listing due to low trade volume and lack of user interest. It may be removed on March 20th unless the average daily trade volume for the last 7 days exceeds 0.2 BTC.

[shaan.is.one]

My favourite Skype branch this ARI..wishing much much best of luck

[DOGEbubble]

There is still ARI/BTC trading @ Cryptsy; however, the 24-hour trading volume is too low at 0.278 BTC.

It's not only about trading volume; it is the rundown price. You would be certainly pissed off, if you got ARI prior to listing at Bittrex or Cryptsy. The price dropped from 400-100 Satoshis to 50-60 Satoshis.  If you still hold those ARI coins, Your holding value evaporated 50% to 86% and still do not know when it is going back to above 100 Satoshis.

[Dirgantara]

So dev do you will let this happen? ARI delisted from trex?

[Dirgantara]

Just dump it on cryptsy, fuckin dev

Aricoin needs the community to work together with other communities to give their respective coins activity and purpose.  

I'm aggressively working on PICISI a crowdfunding site presently under construction.  PICISI will allow campaign organizers to raise funds in fiat (USD, GBP, EUR, etc ...) as well as cryptocurrency of all types.   If Aricoin was a sponsor you would have the opportunity to drive interest and activity in your direction.   Armis endorses PICISI 100%, here is why all cryptocurrency communities especially your community should become a PICISI sponsor:

1) The cost of sponsorship is affordable

2) PICISI is the ONLY crowdfunding site that accepts both fiat and cryptocurrency for donations

3) PICISI is the only crowdfunding site that gives cryptocurrency platforms a place to enable their coin to be actually used, not just donated but actually spent by the person receiving the funds.

4) If your coin is a host currency at a campaign that means that every other CC that is donated to that campaign will be converted to your currency before credited to that campaign

5) The PICISI mantra is Promotion, Promotion, Promotion which means that we not only promote the PICISI message, but also the message of our sponsors, and the message of our individual campaigns. Rarely does crowdfunding sites actively promote campaigns; they expect the organizer to do all of the work.

For any one of the above reasons every CC community should endorse PICISI, you have 5 compelling reasons to endorse and sponsor PICISI.


PICISI is currently sponsored by:

Here is an article on PICISI sponsorship: http://www.crowdfundingpr.org/picisi-crowdfunding-sponsors/


PLEASE NOTE:  I offered FREE sponsorship on March 27th to Aricoin via coin leader however I didn't receive a reply to my offer.

And how could you expect the community to support the dev if he never show up again, never reply any message, never told us what project he's doing. We don't even know if he really working on something or has abandoned us. And the market shows us what's going on. If he really want us to support, one two words should be nice

As for the future of the coin, how many of you are willing to do something to help the coin?  Are those who are complaining willing to get together to build the community?

[Aricoin]

Since our last update we have added a new team member who is helping us work on the latest version of the wallet. We aren't funded, the team involved on the Aricoin project has created this coin out of our passion for crypto and the future we see for it. Everything is being done in our free time hence all the delays. We want to have a very stable and secure platform/network and are therefore taking our time.

As we have grown over the past few months we have had the pleasure of meeting some amazing people through the project who are helping us grow even further. Join us on Skype for the latest information as this thread is not monitored unless we have an important update.

1)  Host CC Sponsor -  the best way to get your coin used by the general public is to get your coin into their hands and have them use it in a real life currency application.  When an organizer starts a campaign at PICISI s/he has a choice of what CC currency type to select, the first choice is “sponsor currency” this is the organizer indicating a willingness to have his campaign sponsored at the host CC level.  Once the sponsor is finally selected that currency will be the currency that all other CCs donated to that campaign will be converted to for the duration of that particular campaign. 

This is major because everyone that visits that campaign will see your currency, but the will not only see but will likely use the funds to do business with one of the contractors at the site during the campaign.   If they don't use it during the campaign, over that month of close interaction with your currency they are very likely want to learn more about your coin so that by the end of the campaign they will make the deliberate decision to download a wallet, open an exchange account, or simply convert out of the currency.   Regardless of what they actually choose to do your CC has certainly been branded into their mind in a very positive way.

2)  Campaign Sponsor - this is the most common type of sponsorship outside of PICISI;  the sponsor’s logo is affixed to the body of campaign text in an area set aside for campaign sponsors.  The higher your donation the higher your logo is located in the sponsorship logo area.

3)  Donor Perk Sponsor -  a sponsor provided perk escrowed by PICISI on behalf of a specific campaign where it will be used.   If the perk is not requested by any qualified donor it will be converted to host CC and donated to the campaign

4)  Advertising Perk Sponsor -  a sponsor provided perk escrowed by PICISI on behalf of a specific campaign to be used as a perk or returned to the sponsor.  If the perk is not requested by any qualified campaign donor the perk is sent back to the sponsor -- the perk is NOT donated to the campaign.

and

5)  Campaign Video Sponsor -  the first 5 second of the campaign organizer's video is allocated for the Campaign Video Sponsor, this is where the sponsor will indicate: “This video is brought to you by … [say sponsor's name, show sponsor's logo, and say sponsor's catchphrase]”

Is Aricoin dead? I do not know where to go to see the latest news and developments.

Aricoin is alive and kicking, here is PICISI's new sponsor list:

Site launch prerequisites update:
1) recruit a min. of 6 admins, we now have 2;  
2) secure a min of 20 sponsors, we now have 21: (www.ArmisGame.com, The Einsteinium News, Crypto Cloud Hosting, Bitcoin PR Buzz, Crypto Database, Einsteinium, Metal Coin, HYPER, Hobonickels, Energy Coin, World Aid Coin, Artsry Coin, GSM, Sativacoin, Magi coin, HTML5, Coin2, Aricoin, NXT, Gridcoin, and Goldpieces); [goal achieved & surpassed]
3) secure a min of 8 campaigns to crowd fund, we now have 6;
4) recruit a min of 1 referral agent, we now have 1; [goal achieved]:
5) associate with a min of 2 promotion contractors, we now have 12: [goal achieved & surpassed]
6) associate with a min of 1 campaign contractor, we now have 12; [goal achieved & surpassed]
and
7) publish a min of 5 ‘about PICISI’ articles, we now have 6, [goal achieved & surpassed] .


Although we have yet to launch, Alexa.com ranked the site, so we are now monitoring site ranking:
On May 3, 2015  our rank was ~22M
On May 5, 2015  our rank was revised to ~17M  

Note: rank revision is not a technical change, the rank change usually takes place once monthly, my best guess for the revision is because
the site is rapidly growing in popularity.  The 5M rank gain in 2 days is massive, and well appreciated.

Dear PICISI sponsor,

For a limited time PICISI is offering each PICISI sponsor a FREE article about their entity in relation to PICISI.

Please note that the story need not relate directly to crowdfunding, or cryptocurrency, the most important factor is an informative and compelling story, we will figure out how to include PICISI, Pi, and/or other essentials. 

I invite you to take advantage of the opportunity to put your entity, you, or someone else related to your entity in the spotlight. 

Contact me via PM or here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1053613.msg11312978#msg11312978

Hello,
I am just setting up a pool for various coins and also integrated Aricoin on http://coinmining-europe.de/
I pointed my KNC Titan on it about 2h ago and it seems that I already found several blocks (11 so far).
Does anyone know how long it takes until they get from "Pending" to "Confirmed"?
Thank you!

Edit:
Ignore my questions, confirmation is working fine. Aricoins incoming

If anyone else wants to mine on the pool feel free to do so.
Just enter your Walletadress as username and connect to the right port according to your preferred diff.

Congratulations your donation to PICISI placed your entity in the top 10 of PICISI sponsors.   It also qualified your coin to be placed in the sample campaign to highlight how 'host CC sponsorship' could help promote a particular cryptocurrency.  http://www.crowdfundingpr.org/picisi-crowdfunding-sponsors/

As the site (www.PICISI.com) is developed the leader board is expected to change periodically.

Is this it?:

What's the situation with this coin? I noticed the v2 wallet supports merged mining so compiled the wallet from https://github.com/aricoin/Aricoin but am unable to connect to anyone on the v2 blockchain - is anyone using it? If so, can they post some addnodes please?

I see Aricoin is still listed on an exchange, but I presume they are the v1 wallets?

[seasonw]

Any updates? Its an second chance for all devs and theres projects

I don't think there is second chance, as the website of aricoin has gone. Although I found it is quite high in mining profit compared to other scrypt coin, that's why I'm here to check it out. Maybe due to it's low hashrate and easy mining at the moment...

[Mogsington]

Zombie coin. It's dead but hasn't stopped moving yet.

Only v2 exists on github, and nobody uses v2 (not even the exchanges), you can't sync it.
Now the website is down, there's no way to get v1.6.
No devs. No news.
But!
We do get to see how long a coin survives when nobody can download or compile the wallet! \o/

[abh1525]

Any news on this coin?

Is the dev still active? or left the coin to die?

How would you get access to the v. 1 wallets, since the website is down? I wound up with 500K v. 1 coins and I sent them to my wallet from Cryptopia, and poof, they never showed up. I was then told a new version had been developed and that v. 1 no longer worked. Someone was supposed to have sent me replacement coins in v. 2 but that never happened either. I wouldn't mind getting hold of my v. 1 coins and dumping them if there are still markets, but I don't know the steps to get at them.

My experience with Aricoin has been a good object lesson as to why you need to actually keep up with the news on any coin you invest in. Although that seems to be changing as more professional people are getting involved, at this stage in the game, we should treat every coin we hold as one that could potentially blow up any day. We need to keep up with its news so we don't miss key information like the coin putting up a new version and the old addresses in your wallets no longer working for deposits.

Some coins I would recommend where the above is less true because the projects are more solid to begin with are NEM, DMD Diamond, and DNotes. All three coins are solid. The DMD and DNotes devs are very communicative on this forum, and as far as professionalism goes, the DNotes team can't be beat. NEM enjoyed quite the run up yesterday, so watch it for a day or two before jumping in.

Dev, so you guys are active? Would that be the justification for Aricoin's recent recentens? Why were you absent for a long time? What jobs have been delivered so far? Aricoin posusi some type of application? Are you planning to take ARI to other exchanges?

Since you asked:

Yes - we have always planned to come back to Aricoin - sadly a series of bad events hit the development team - there is no excuse for such silence but we were waiting for a time in our lives were we could devote more time to the project - that's why there has been no update in so long as it would be wrong to promise something when we don't have the time to commit to the project.

To give you some context if you were not around in 2013/2014. Aricoin was originally launched as OlympicCoin at the start of 2014 - see this launch thread. The team created the coin for fun originally but because we were one of the first altcoins to gain a lot of traction and community support (with the addition of some team members specialising in marketing) we decided to take the project more seriously. We saw huge potential in cryptocurrency but at that time there were no coins making cryptocurrency accessible to everyone - a 'mass market' coin as it were. So we took this idea and developed AricoinPay around our coin to differentiate ourselves but at the same time do something that was sorely needed, bridge the gap between the cryptocurrency community and the public. Making cryptocurrency accessible. We have some marketing guys on the team and they created a waiting list feature for the launch of Aricoin pay that had over 100,000 people signup - we verified around 10,000 as real people. You can see the history of that on twitter.

So now you have a bit of context, what were these bad events? AricoinPay functions exactly like PayPal. It uses real world transaction price data from exchanges, for it to work consistently without easy market manipulation we have to select one exchange for everyone to trade with so it can get an accurate live price from there - we were on a few exchanges, but the trade volume on MintPal was well into the 1000s of BTCs in 2014 so we selected this exchange as our primary exchange and included it in all our marketing material.

Then this happened to MintPal in 2014, shortly after our rebranding. Our community and developers made huge losses.

We quickly redirected everyone and relaunched on Cryptsy. Exchange volumes started slow but then got even higher here because the exchange was so large. It had a very public image and we foolishly didn't learn from our previous mistake. This happened to Crypsty shortly after.

The AricoinPay system relies on exchange data to bridge that gap and displays prices to people in their local currency.  After the downfall of Mintpal & Cryptsy in such a short time frame - given their huge respect in the community at the time - we were lost for words - that was then followed by a countrywide ban on cryptocurrency which has since been relaxed. We moved to a series of other exchanges that were much less known than Mintpal & Cryptsy and our thoughts were to wait until a time when the cryptocurrency environment was more transparent - so when we could find a more reliable exchange for the long run - with everything being so heavily regulated now it leaves less room for people to do things like our previous two selected exchanges and we are seeing a future again. We will be taking the next few months to plan our next steps.

We would love to have as many people on board as possible to help with coding / community support / outreach. You can see a list of jobs we require below the first post on this thread, so message this account if interested.


Extra note for community members who have been with us from the start:
We had 6 encrypted backup disks within our team, 3 of these have failed - causing more problems over the last couple of years. If you have historic versions/code for Aricoin or OlympicCoin please send it to this account for our records. In addition to this - we still have all the code for AricoinPay and database records if you had small amounts there you would like to recover - don't worry we haven't forgotten about you!

We saw huge potential in cryptocurrency but at that time there were no coins making cryptocurrency accessible to everyone - a 'mass market' coin as it were. So we took this idea and developed AricoinPay around our coin to differentiate ourselves but at the same time do something that was sorely needed, bridge the gap between the cryptocurrency community and the public. Making cryptocurrency accessible. We have some marketing guys on the team and they created a waiting list feature for the launch of Aricoin pay that had over 100,000 people signup - we verified around 10,000 as real people. You can see the history of that on twitter.

So now you have a bit of context, what were these bad events? AricoinPay functions exactly like PayPal. It uses real world transaction price data from exchanges, for it to work consistently without easy market manipulation we have to select one exchange for everyone to trade with so it can get an accurate live price from there - we were on a few exchanges, but the trade volume on MintPal was well into the 1000s of BTCs in 2014 so we selected this exchange as our primary exchange and included it in all our marketing material.

Then this happened to MintPal in 2014, shortly after our rebranding. Our community and developers made huge losses.

We quickly redirected everyone and relaunched on Cryptsy. Exchange volumes started slow but then got even higher here because the exchange was so large. It had a very public image and we foolishly didn't learn from our previous mistake. This happened to Crypsty shortly after.

The AricoinPay system relies on exchange data to bridge that gap and displays prices to people in their local currency.  After the downfall of Mintpal & Cryptsy in such a short time frame - given their huge respect in the community at the time - we were lost for words - that was then followed by a countrywide ban on cryptocurrency which has since been relaxed. We moved to a series of other exchanges that were much less known than Mintpal & Cryptsy and our thoughts were to wait until a time when the cryptocurrency environment was more transparent - so when we could find a more reliable exchange for the long run - with everything being so heavily regulated now it leaves less room for people to do things like our previous two selected exchanges and we are seeing a future again. We will be taking the next few months to plan our next steps.

We would love to have as many people on board as possible to help with coding / community support / outreach. You can see a list of jobs we require below the first post on this thread, so message this account if interested.


Extra note for community members who have been with us from the start:
We had 6 encrypted backup disks within our team, 3 of these have failed - causing more problems over the last couple of years. If you have historic versions/code for Aricoin or OlympicCoin please send it to this account for our records. In addition to this - we still have all the code for AricoinPay and database records if you had small amounts there you would like to recover - don't worry we haven't forgotten about you!

This is awesome to hear that you guys are making a comeback! I lost a large amount of ARI a few years ago. I bought it on Cryptopia and sent it off to my Aricoin Pay wallet. Back then I was able to log into the site. The coins never showed up in my wallet. When I asked about why, I was told that the coin had forked and the old wallet addresses no longer worked. But there had been no indication on the website that this was going on. I was told that someone would just send me the same amount of ARI to make up for the loss, but then I never heard anything again. I kind of figured it was a loss. If ARI is going to be developed now and actually go somewhere, is there any chance I might get back what I lost? I could send more specific info if someone from the dev team messages me. It would be best if the actual coin I lost could be recovered as opposed to merely replaced. That way no one is having to take a loss for my sake.

In the mean time I will keep following this thread. If ARI is going to make a comeback, I might want to pick some up...

Development,...Thank You for your statements here and efforts. Much appreciated.

You are very welcome. We will be doing everything in our power to move Aricoin forward this year!

Did you get given any of the cryptsy coins by the cryptsy receiver?

The cryptsy receiver gave the low value coins he couldn't sell back to the devs of each coin.

We requested the Aricoin wallet from Cryptsy multiple times with no reply around the time of the events. Last month we discovered that Greggory Matthews was in possession of the Cryptsy Aricoin wallet from the receivership in 2017 as can be seen by his redistribution efforts here: https://www.goldcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3789.0 - we are trying to contact him to get details of who is holding the wallet but we are yet to receive a reply. If the stolen community coins are returned they will be used to help Aricoin grow. During the Cryptsy meltdown (to our knowledge) all user balance records were wiped, sadly there is no way to prove who had what in the Aricoin wallet. Due to this fact, the only way we see forward is to give the coins back to the community on a large scale by building a fund redistribution website that will allow people to claim 1 Aricoin for every unique data point we can gather about that user (Twitter / Facebook / IP linked) and reward users with more for referring a friend to Aricoin - much like our waiting list that had over 100k users waiting - without giving away any coins!. If anyone has a lead on who may have the wallet, please urge them to return it so Aricoin can grow. With that said we will be building a redistribution website regardless of the Cryptsy wallet being returned that will rely on donations from the community. It's important that holders of Aricoin know that for a coin to grow it needs to have wide use which means we need a wider distribution plan to bring Aricoin to the masses.

 
NOTE: If you did lose coins on Cryptsy send this account a message so we have records of it for reference.

Sorry this happened to you wiser, unfortunately there is nothing we can do to recover these coins. We had alerts in place on AricoinPay to inform users of the network changes but sadly the exchanges didn't follow suit and alert people on their side which caused some confusion. 

Aricoin certainly will be making a comeback - Thank you for your continued support!

There were no alerts on my Aricoin Pay side. I know this because I had to open it up to find the address to send the coins to. It gave me the address just like it always had before and there was no indication that anything was amiss. I only found out about the fork after I reached out here and asked why my coins weren't showing up in my wallet. At least that is what I remember. I sent from Cryptopia.
