Connecting to AIM

On this page are several guides for connecting to the NINA AIM service.

AIM is in the final-stretch of beta and to join in the fun a donation of $2 or more is required. First register your screenname and then donate $2 or more (donations also come with other rewards). We require donations to keep this place going, as we don't have ads nor sell your information.

AOL Instant Messenger

AIM 1.0-5.9

On the login window, click on "Setup". Change the hostname to the following value:
login.oscar.nina.chat. Port should be the default (5190).

AIM 6.0-7.5

To connect to these versions, you must do the following:

  1. Exit out of AIM completely. Make sure the clients aren't open on the tray.
  2. Download and run the NINA Auth Patcher.
    Note: Windows Defender currently reports a false positive infection in this patcher, we are working on the issue.
  3. Click "Patch All" or select an installation and click "Patch Selected".
  4. (AIM 6.2+ only) On the login window on the client, click "Settings" and set the host to kdc.uas.nina.chat, port 443.

TOC

If using a TOC client, you can set the host to toc.oscar.nina.chat and port to 9898

WebAPI

If using a WebAPI or WIM client, you can use api.nina.chat.

AIM on the Web

AIM was available on web browsers in a variety of ways.

Patching binaries

If you have a binary you wish to patch by yourself (this is not required for standard AIM clients), you can replace the host .aol.com with .nina.bz. Therefore you can modify the host to be login.oscar.nina.bz.
