Goodbye BitNow, welcome RipaEx

Bitnow was a great and successful project; in less than a year 500 people had the chance to easily enter the crypto-currency world. Bitnow services helped many people exchange crypto currencies with no hassle and without the need of big investment.
The same vision that gave birth to Bitnow exchange service is now pushing us forward to evolve into a bigger, wider projet: Ripa Decentralized Exchange Network.
We’re not shutting down Bitnow, we will still support basic exchange services; we just feel that name does not represent the extent of Ripa revolution.
Ripa will make the crypto world more open and democratic, giving everyone the opportunity to run an exchange without the need of big loads of money or hard to learn technical skills.
We are really excited about what’s coming next and we’ll put all our efforts into developing Ripa.

RipaEx is a project build on two pillars:

1. Ripa Exchange: an open source exchange based on the source code of Peatio (www.peatio.com)
2. Ripa Blockchain: a DPOS blockchain with its own XPX token that will serve to share liquidity between all Ripa Exchanges in the Ripa network

The development of the project will follow the paradigm:

1. Ripa Exchange: paid contribution to the community for making a modular, secure and UI responsive exchange starting from the source code of Peatio
2. Ripa Blockchain: all the latest features of ARK will be merged in our GitHub reposistories, as Ripa Blockchain is an ARK fork we will always entrust ARK as our technology provider and paid contribution will be done for porting ARK features into Ripa codebase (ARK 2.0, libraries, true block weight software, others application…)
