About the ticker symbol of Magicoin: MAGIC as well as MAGI.

http://www.cryptomagic.com/resources/magic-or-magi.htm

Mostly we use MAGIC in exchanges at this moment. It's kind of easy to remember, impressive, but 5 letters are not the typical case. As such, we reserve the four-letter case: MAGI. MAGI is a way of cool, and importantly consistent with the coin name - Magi coin. We also came up with the name of block explorer: Magichain, see the site: http://www.magichain.info, and Magi currency too. In the other hand, MAGIC can represent for (MagiC)oin and (MagiC)urrency.

Alrigh, we are talking about Magicurrency.

What is MAGI?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magi

Magi (/ˈmeɪdʒaɪ/; Latin plural of magus; Ancient Greek: μάγος magos; Old Persian: 𐎶𐎦𐎢𐏁 maguš, Persian: مُغ‎ mogh; English singular magian, mage, magus, magusian, magusaean; Kurdish: manji) is a term, used since at least the 6th century BC, to denote followers of Zoroastrianism or Zoroaster. The earliest known usage of the word Magi is in the trilingual inscription written by Darius the Great, known as the Behistun Inscription.

Starting later, presumably during the Hellenistic period, the word Magi also denotes followers of what the Hellenistic chroniclers incorrectly associated Zoroaster with, which was – in the main – the ability to read the stars, and manipulate the fate that the stars foretold.[citation needed] However, Old Persian texts, pre-dating the Hellenistic period, refer to a Magus as a Zurvanic, and presumably Zoroastrian, priest.

Pervasive throughout the Eastern Mediterranean and Western Asia until late antiquity and beyond, mágos, "Magian" or "magician," was influenced by (and eventually displaced) Greek goēs (γόης), the older word for a practitioner of magic, to include astrology, alchemy and other forms of esoteric knowledge. This association was in turn the product of the Hellenistic fascination for (Pseudo-)Zoroaster, who was perceived by the Greeks to be the "Chaldean" "founder" of the Magi and "inventor" of both astrology and magic. Among the skeptical thinkers of the period, the term 'magian' acquired a negative connotation and was associated with tricksters and conjurers. This pejorative meaning survives in the words "magic" and "magician".

In English, the term "magi" is most commonly used in reference to the "μάγοι" from the east who visit Jesus in Chapter 2 of the Gospel of Matthew Matthew 2:1, and are now often translated as "wise men" in English versions. The plural "magi" entered the English language from Latin around 1200, in reference to these. The singular appears considerably later, in the late 14th century, when it was borrowed from Old French in the meaning magician together with magic.

Biblical coins of the Magi 35 BC – 5 AD - Real Magi coins existing in history

The Azes II bronze tetradrachm played a major role in the history of Early Christianity. Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. . . . And, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. . . .When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshiped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. (Matthew Ch.2, KJV)

"The wise men of the east" were guided by the Star of Bethlehem. Christian tradition has set their number as three, called them Magi, and named them Caspar or Gaspar, Melchior, and Balthazar. The term Magi is derived from the Greek "magos"—the same root as "magic". They are interpreted today to have been court astrologers from the east who studied and interpreted signs in the sky. The EPIPHANY commemorates their visit. Biblical scholars have debated their identities for centuries. Many scholars believe Caspar (or Gaspar) to have been a representative sent by "The Great King" Azes II of ancient Bactria to the Holy Land to pay homage to the newborn Jesus. His travels were almost certain to have been financed by these very same bronze tetradrachms issued by Azes, who ruled the area which is now modern Afghanistan from 35 BC to 5 AD—during the time of the birth of Jesus. This remarkably well preserved, 2000 year old, genuine bronze tetradrachm depicts Azes II on horseback, and shows a standing figure of Zeus on the reverse.

Azes II was king of Bactria—present day Afghanistan—from 35 BC to 5 AD. He was a political descendant of Alexander the Great, who brought Greek culture to the east. The obverse legends of his coins were written in Greek, the reverse is in Indian script, making his coinage among the earliest bilingual coins. The bronze tetradrachm was based on the original classical Greek coin denomination that was introduced more than 5 centuries earlier. The coins were hand-made by ancient artisans by placing a blank disk, heated to make it soft, between blocks of iron carved with reversed designs, and striking the upper block hard with a hammer. This resulted in imperfect, but remarkably detailed coins considering the crudeness of the method. Much of Azes’s coinage was issued before the birth of Christ, but some had to have been struck on the day of Christ's birth, and all were in circulation when Christ lived.
