Arionum Roadmap Update

Development of the Arionum platform is alive and well. The Arionum developers are hard at work making this PHP blockchain platform the best possible solution for those looking for a easily implementable and stable, reliable blockchain ecosystem written entirely from scratch in PHP.

With that said we would like to address the current state of Arionum with an end of March Roadmap Update. You can find copies of the Roadmap on the official Arionum Discord and the Bitcointalk ANN post (links below). Let's take a look at where we stand today:

Current Roadmap

1. Creation of the Blockchain Explorer - COMPLETE

The Arionum Blockchain Explorer provides the ability to view the current status of the Blockchain, difficulty, current block, transactions, wallet balances, and other Blockchain statistics.
It is operational and can be found here

2. Launch of an Arionum Mining pool -COMPLETE

A mining pool allows for a group of individual miners to combine their efforts and spread the block reward amongst the group.
There are currently 2 official Arionum pools; the original Arionum mining pool, aropool.com, and aro.cool the pool dedicated to optimising the block reward for small miners.
The code for the Arionum mining pool has also been released. There are two active community built pools, aro.hashe.rs, and arionum.rocks

3. Creation of a Windows PHP bundle - COMPLETE

This bundle was created to bundle a command line wallet and functional PHP Miner into a package that could be easily installed on a Windows machine. It can be downloaded here

7. Development of Bitcoin-like JSON-RPC API - IN PROGRESS

This API will allow Arionum to be more easily implemented on exchanges in the future. The Arionum Devs are currently hard at work developing this API to improve the process to be listed on a Cryptocurrency exchange.

13. Alias System - FUTURE TASK

The Alias System will allow individuals to assign a name or alias to their wallet address. For example a user could name their wallet “ArionumRules” and use that alias instead of the wallet address.

14. Payment Processor - FUTURE TASK

The Arionum Payment Processor will allow for the Arionum to be easily accepted by merchants as a form of payment.
