Our objective is to craft the highest-quality crypto-assets, also known as crypto-collectibles or NFTs, making them durable, beautiful, independent of third parties, and verifiable by anyone.
The ArtOlin platform aims to create a unique digital art collection, with indestructible and transferable tokens which will be registered in the Bitcoin blockchain forever.
ArtOlin is a platform that allows artists and art lovers to record digital content permanently, making it possible to verify authorship and ownership from anywhere in the world indefinitely.
With ArtOlin, content creators can generate systems to promote or monetize their work immediately and without a middleman.
The platform allows anyone to generate, buy or sell NFTs. Any creator can register and certify digital content by issuing their own NFTs easily, quickly and securely. An author can decide to transfer or sell their NFTs using the OlinWallet, or keep them as proof of authorship.
What are Crypto-collectibles or NFTs?
Crypto-collectibles or Non-Fungible-Tokens are digital objects resulting from the union between a token (such as BTC or ETH) and specific digital content. They are also known as augmented or improved tokens, since the traditional token, or cryptocoin, is linked to a digital content file (image, music, video, literature, etc.), giving it special properties and enhancing its value.
The special properties of NFTs include durability, scarcity, uniqueness, and transferability. It is also impossible to counterfeit them.
NFTs can be used as property titles, certificates of authorship, and document timestamps that can be verified by anyone. You can sell or exchange them within your monetization scheme, or use them as promotional items in reward plans.
NFTs are also digital assets that can represent shares or equity in projects or businesses. They can also be used to distribute profits safely and automatically.
Since they are durable and scarce (like physical assets), NFTs can acquire market value, enabling you to implement innovative monetization schemes and incentives to engage your customers and followers. They can be used as promotional items, property certificates and reliable author registries. Because of their properties, NFTs are digital objects that many people collect simply for fun or because they speculate a potential rise in their future value.
What is OlinWallet?
OlinWallet is the name of the wallet used on the ArtOlin platform. It is a tool to visualize, manage, send, buy or sell your NFTs. It consists of a traditional Bitcoin wallet that is Counterparty-compatible, allowing you to generate and manage tokens. Its interface also enables you to view your NFTs.
Is it safe to store my Bitcoins and tokens in OlinWallet?
OlinWallet is ideal for regular, daily transactions which are signed in your browser before connecting to the Bitcoin network through the Bitcoin Core APIs.
All encryption is handled client-side, therefore neither your passphrase nor any of your private information ever leaves your browser.
Remember to ALWAYS back up your passphrase by writing it on a piece of paper (offline) and keeping it in a safe place.
Your passphrase is literally your only access to your wallet; no backup files exist. Passphrases are easy to read and highly secure – they protect your wallet from brute-force attacks. You can access your wallet from any trusted device with a web browser.
Users are encouraged to implement more secure systems such as Armory or Hardware wallets for a greater volume of assets and/or larger funds.

I would like to buy some art on the form of NFTs. How do I go about it?
All you need to do is access your wallet, go to Create New Wallet and a new address will be generated automatically. Back up your wallet by copying your passphrase on a piece of paper and keeping it in a safe place.
Fund your wallet with some BTC for transaction fees and you’re all set.
You can also purchase OLINCOIN, the native currency in which the OlinWallet operates, and where you’ll find most of the open orders.
