Right?   It's interesting because Titcoin is a $25k USD micro-cap altcoin. But I guess the reason is that some of the more experienced cryptocurrency members see the potential that lies within here. Among all altcoins, adult currencies like Titcoin have among the greatest potential of achieving wide adoption into mainstream first, because the benefits of decentralized and pseudonymous tipping are obvious even to no-coiners.



Let's not accuse them of scamming here, these fights are unnecessary and do not help anyone. It only distracts our focus from the important questions, which is how we can grow our community and have Titcoin being used for adult tipping!    I still get carried away sometimes, too, but ultimately it doesn't help...

No exchanges have supported Wisp as far as I know. I notified Cryptopia and Livecoin about the fork back in the days, but the only thing that resulted from it was that I got banned from the Spectrecoin Discord. xD You can ask Cryptopia to give you your Wisp coins from the original Spectrecoin chain, but I doubt that they will act on it. Generally it is advisable to store your coins in your own wallet, which is in sync with the decentralization philosophy that backs Wisp. So if you store your coins on an exchange and they move to a different chain, that is basically your own fault.

If you have stored your coins in your local wallet, accessing your WISP is as simple as importing your wallet.dat from the Spectrecoin wallet.

We now have a trading channel for OTC (over the counter) trading in our Discord - https://discordapp.com/invite/2YUewTX

Wisp is currently not listed on any exchanges, so I suggest that you trade coins between each other - I will act as a free escrow for larger trades if necessary. 

If you are a Linux user, you can compile the wallet from https://github.com/wispproject/wallet
If you are a Windows or Mac user, please use an old Spectrecoin wallet (pre-2.0, for example 1.3.6 or 1.3.8 ). Any Spectrecoin wallet before 2.0 will work.

Exciting news!  Thanks for the update.

I'm not impersonating anyone, see my response here in the other Titcoin thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5018869.msg49078225#msg49078225

I'm not interested in these childish fights. I'm just developing and maintaining the Titcoin project while you are trying to convince people that Titcoin has been abandoned and that they should swap TIT to your own currency. Just please stop throwing accusations at me which is unfair given all the work I've already done for Titcoin. I'm not accusing you of things either, even though there would be many sound reasons to do so.

You just bought the project accounts of the last Titcoin dev, and the first thing you've done is announcing that Titcoin will be abandoned and that every Titcoin holder should swap their coins for your own currency. You are not Titcoin developers because you are not developing Titcoin, and you have no right to take our ticker TIT for your own chain.

I've taken over Titcoin development as a Titcoin community member, you can see my work here: https://github.com/titcoin/titcoin
The source code you have linked (https://github.com/OfficialTitcoin/titcoin-wallet) was created by the original developers in 2014, not by you.

The only thing you are doing is making false claims, trying to confuse people and trick them to send you their Titcoins. Please stay out of this thread!

Important note: Please remember to withdraw your coins from Cryptopia if you haven't done so yet! On Jan 19, Titcoin will be delisted and you will no longer be able to withdraw your coins. Please use Yobit or Novaexchange instead for trading, and store your coins in a local wallet if possible.

Titcoin (TIT) is tradeable on Yobit and Novaexchange:

• https://yobit.net/en/trade/TIT/BTC
• https://novaexchange.com/market/BTC_TIT

But this is the real Titcoin, not Tittiecoin.

Btw., please remember to withdraw your coins from Cryptopia if you haven't done so yet! On Jan 19, Titcoin will be delisted and you will no longer be able to withdraw your coins. Please use Yobit or Novaexchange instead for trading, and store your coins in a local wallet if possible.

Happy new year to you, too!  


Haha np, I'm aware that interest in altcoins has heavily declined in 2018. Which is an even greater motivation to try and build up a community even during this bear market! I don't believe any altcoin should make itself more dependent of Bitcoin than necessary. Titcoin is not just an object of price speculation like some other useless altcoins, it has its own purpose and a right to exist on its own. The case of use-case specific currencies like Titcoin has yet to be explored.

Distribution of coins is essential for building a strong community, and I'm sure that everybody likes free money.   The only question is how much is necessary for people to start taking action. I will progressively double the giveaway amount every now and then until we have a significant amount of participants, and buy more coins from the market for redistribution if necessary. At these low prices, giving away TIT is almost like an ICO or airdrop of a new currency!   The goals of Titcoin are clear and it has a very good use case, so I'm sure that the lack of visibility will only be a temporary issue. It only requires one person with a significant amount of followers to realize the potential that lies within Titcoin in order to kickstart the necessary attention.

Ladies and gentlemen, since we're currently in a bear market and TIT is a bargain right now, I would like to start a social media giveaway campaign to fuel attention!    The campaign is going to happen on Twitter and Gab, you need an account that has at least 100 real followers and is older than a month (so it was created in November 2018 or earlier).

In order to participate, please make a tweet (or Gab post) about Titcoin that includes the following:

• The hashtag #titcoin
• The cashtag/hashtag $TIT (our ticker)
• A link to our homepage (https://titcoin.website/), Coinmarketcap (https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/titcoin/) or this ANN (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5018869.0), or alternatively a mention to our project accounts on Twitter (@DailyTitcoin) or Gab (@titcoin). Something that helps people to find us!
• A sentence explaining what you like about Titcoin, or why you think it will be successful! 

In order to claim the giveaway, post a link to your tweet in this thread, along with your Titcoin address. You can download the wallet here in order to get an address: https://github.com/titcoin/titcoin/releases/tag/v0.16.3-titcoin1

The reward is determined on a first come, first serve basis:

• The first 10 participants will receive 1000 TIT
• Numbers 11-20 will receive 900 TIT
• Numbers 21-30 will receive 800 TIT
• Numbers 31-40 will receive 700 TIT
• Numbers 41-50 will receive 600 TIT
• Numbers 51-60 will receive 500 TIT
• Numbers 61-70 will receive 400 TIT
• Numbers 71-80 will receive 300 TIT
• Numbers 81-90 will receive 200 TIT
• Numbers 91-100 will receive 100 TIT

In total we will be giving away 55,000 TIT which has a value of about $29.92 at the current prices. The giveaway is limited to 100 participants, using the above reward structure. Each user account will only be considered once and you can only participate using one tweet per account. The coins will be sent a few days later, after I have checked that your tweet fulfills the requirements.

I will maybe repeat this giveaway in the future when we have much higher prices, so stay tuned! 

PS: Please remember that we're also listed on Nova (https://novaexchange.com/market/BTC_TIT) which is not shown on Coinmarketcap, yet.

Best regards, Gandalf86 

Apparently Cryptopia decided to delist Titcoin due to the double spend attack that happened during this summer. I would recommend to move your funds to your own wallet (download link in the ANN), and to use Nova Exchange as the new trading platform. It's a very reliable exchange. It's not listed on CMC yet because Coinmarketcap requires a daily volume of $1000 per day in order to add a market to a coin's page. 

Currently most people seem to move their funds to Yobit which leads to a lot of downward pressure over there. But at least we have some good volume again, finally!  

Please don't store your funds on an exchange, ever! Always use a real software wallet on your PC.

Novaexchange market + wallet are active again! Happy trading.

Thanks are going to Novaexchange, they have a supreme support team. I am very positive about the future of Nova as soon one of the most reputable altcoin exchanges.

Those are really good questions, I would suggest to ask them about this directly. One thing that they will need to understand is that they can't change their Tittiecoin ticker to "TIT" because it's already used by Titcoin. But I would be surprised if exchanges would allow them to do this anyway.

Note that they are not even the "original team", they just bought the Twitter account etc. from the previous owner who in turn got them from the original team. The original team left this coin 2 years ago. This coin hasn't been developed since 2014, and now by me.



Thanks for offering your help, I would suggest that you join our Discord so we can have a chat!  

Hey, thanks for your question! I am happy to explain the pros/cons of Proof of Stake vs. Proof of Work to you. The difference is that POW has a well researched and validated incentive model, while Proof of Stake has not. With POW, the party/group who is putting in the largest amount of money/mining power over time is directing the consensus during that time. With POS, the party/group who has the largest amount of coins once is directing the consensus at any time.

So for example, with POS, an attacker could accumulate a massive amount of coins while the coin is cheap, and carry out a double spend attack years later when the coin is worth much more. That is not possible with POW, because the difficulty will increase over time if the value rises. Therefore, having POS on a low-value coin is much more risky than POW. With POW, you can just increase the required confirmations (like Novaexchange did for Titcoin for example), and even if there is a 51% attack the damage is not so large. With POS, once someone has a too large balance the chain is effectively worthless.

Another problem with usual POS implementations is that the person who has the largest balance will increase their share on the network through exponential growth until they own >50% of the coins. A specific problem with merging with TTC is that the TTC devs must have a very large amount  of TTC already (since they are offering a swap from a different coin etc.), so they have way too much power on the network and will profit the most from POS. A cryptocurrency should be as democratic as possible and not be controlled by the people who happen to have the largest amount of coins through shady swap practices.  

So Proof of Stake sounds nice at first but it has a lot of problems if you look closer, especially if you want the consensus to still be trustworthy when the value rises a lot.

Unfortunately Novaexchange stopped the market again after the Tittiecoin developers told them that theirs is not the "correct" Titcoin, but a fork ...   (which is obviously a lie in case you are wondering)

I'm working with them to reactivate the market again. Right now you can trade Titcoin on Yobit, and Nova was on the same chain as everybody else (I tried depositing and withdrawing coins, everything worked).

Please join our Discord if you want to get involved, it would be great to have more active community members! Also if you have an idea that you would like to see implemented I'm sure we can get it done if the idea is good. 

Hello everyone, I am very excited to announce that Titcoin has been listed on Nova Exchange on the BTC and DOGE markets!

• https://novaexchange.com/market/BTC_TIT/
• https://novaexchange.com/market/DOGE_TIT//

Novaexchange was bought by Goobit Exchange AB, the largest Swedish Bitcoin exchange provider, in late 2017 / early 2018 and has been offline for almost an entire year. Nova is Goobit's step into the altcoin market and they are planning to make Nova one of the leading altcoin exchanges, and put a lot of effort into overhauling the site and preparing their relaunch. The new Nova was launched on Dec. 3, 2018. They are a trusted exchange platform including KYC requirements and will provide a great basis for the Titcoin project to grow.

The TIT deposits on Novaexchange currently have an extended confirmation period of 400 (!) confirmations, or about 6.5 hours. This is due to the low mining power that we currently have and the doublespend attack that was carried out against Cryptopia some months ago. We will be able to reduce the required confirmations when our miner network grows.

I would like to thank Nova for supporting the original Titcoin chain and giving us an opportunity to get listed on their new site!

Absolutely. The TittieCoin devs are currently messing around with exchanges and their Coinmarketcap listing, but all of this doesn't affect Titcoin much. We will have our own reliable exchange soon, which should hopefully also make things more clear for the poor exchanges confused by the communication strategies of the TTC devs. 

Your old Titcoin wallet should still work fine.

Hello everyone, I am happy to announce that Titcoin has been added on two very nice block explorer sites:

• https://www.blockexperts.com/tit
• https://cryptobe.com/chain/TitCoin

Now we will focus on getting on one or two trusted exchanges so you have a good platform to trade Titcoin on.  

Also, please follow us on Twitter via @DailyTitCoin, the owner of that account got in contact with us on Discord and decided to join our mission.

Hello everyone, we're currently seeing the following post by the TittieCoin devs in the old Titcoin ANN thread (which is still locked):

(Source: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=423523.msg48373527#msg48373527)


These are rather good news for Titcoin!    Obviously they cannot change their ticker to TIT because that one is already used by Titcoin since years. Everyone who wants to give their Titcoins to the TittieCoin devs can do so, otherwise Titcoin will remain unaffected and undamaged by this.


This statement doesn't make a lot of sense, I guess they mean that people can swap their coins manually if they want to (but it's not a hard fork).

So all in all this is positive for Titcoin, we can just hope that the exchanges won't change the ticker of TittieCoin to TIT which would cause confusion, or swap their users funds without their permission. New block explorers and a new Titcoin exchange are on their way, stay tuned!  

I think I'm pretty open about what I am about, and my point is clear. On the other hand your point is completely unclear because as has been said a few times you can not "join" two cryptocurrencies, you can only cooperate or make a third one. I would still be open for cooperation if you hadn't blocked me on all channels except this one.
