Joincoin is the result of a team of developers, cryptocurrency miners, and day traders who were tired of having to jump from coin to coin in order to find the most energy efficient or "hot trend" algorithm available. Joincoin team wanted a coin for everyone to join in on and be at peace they could use whatever algorithm they wanted and have the freedom of anonymous transactions. Joincoin team also put together a team who had the experience to evolve Joincoin as time passes adding features and services that only solid coders and good marketing can do.

Although 'J' was the ticker assigned at the deployment of the JoinCoin Token's smart contract, it is also in use by another asset with a larger market presence and higher trading volume on major exchanges. To avoid confusion in the marketplace, the alternative ticker 'JOINCOIN' has been adopted for this token. This designation ensures that assets are distinctly identified.
