BCB, would you mind posting a pic of the back of the coin?  thanks.

Here you go. There was a QR code I removed that linked to the titian site for activation as well as more digits to the coin id code (not short bits).

Very professional looking.

@TitanBTC,

I noticed in the COA that the field for the # coin is left black (out of 10,000). Was that on purpose or do you plan to number each coin? Just curious.

Aloha!  Smiley

Smoothie,  I redacted it that.

Received my Titan Coin today. Very nice.

The coin is about 3.3 cm in diameter so it looks a bit smaller then in the photo.

(The Casascius silver bitcoin is about 3.8mc in diameter)

Came in a small priority mail box with a "Certificate of Authenticity" and Instructions on how to "activate" the coin.

I was able to scan the qr code on the back of the coin with my mobile.

On the web-form I had to enter:
Delivery Confirmation Code received on the letter with the coin.
Email confirmation Number received in the email they sent with shipping notification
Entered My Email
Entered My password

When I submitted the form I received an email to a link to verify the registration and fund the coin.

The coin also came in a little black pouch.
Nice Job Titain.

Other companies have software "evangelists"

so the metaphor is biblical, not religious.

Also has anyone made any connection between these SR Addresses and BCTST Addewssws?

Can you please share those addresses with us here? I don't know which addresses you are talking about.

This is one of pirateat40's old payout addresses.

A few defrauded users had send me their pay-in and payout addresses last year when there was small community effort at doing some similar (more rudimentary) block chain analysis to try to find out where some of these funds ended up.  I'll see if I can dig them up.

Has anyone pointed out that "33" is the number on a Rolling Rock beer bottle and in American (college) folklore it is rumored to signify the year that alcohol probation was repealed in the US. That 1933 address is a vanity address and Ross was making a statement.

Ford. What you are describing sounds like a private placement or a public offering.
Both are regulated here in the US and would have similar regulation in the UK unless you are able to secure funds from your personal assets or a loan from family or friends.

I'm not suggesting you are planning to conduct an illicit business. The Securities and Exchange Commission was investigating Trendon Shavers for selling "unregistered bitcoin securities" before they determined it was actually an Ponzi  scheme.

Once you raise money for your business what type of business will you conduct. That will also determine other regulations your business activity may fall under.

At least Pirateat40 is in jail because he actually committed real crime (fraud). (And he was always in the US to begin with, likewise the alleged DPR.)

Ross Ubrecht is in custody having been accused of being Dread Pirate Roberts (DPR) and responsible for the acts outlined in the New York and Deleware complaints.

Trendon Shavers (pirateat40) is not in custody (yet) as current there are only civil charges against him (although he was recently arrested for beating his wife).  Times get tough when the money runs out and the law is on your tail.

Excellent argument. Bravo!

Ford. Please don't rely on on the internet for your legal advice. If you are really starting a proper business please consult an attorney who specialized in the area of your planned business. Unfortunately this is usually not cheap. Also you seem to be embarking on a financial services type of business. Again this area of business is highly regulated, both in the jurisdiction in which you operate (UK) and in the jurisdiction in which you hope to serve customers/clients (US/UK).  

The US and the UK have high levels of cooperation in most areas of law and regulation so it is not likely that you would be beyond the reach of the US Government if your activity is unlicensed or unregulated and if the level and volume of your activity warranted action on behalf of any enforcement agency.

There is a reason other similar businesses are pulling out of the US. The risks of operating outside of regulation and/or the cost of becoming compliant with all the required laws and regulations far out weight the benefits for a small start up company. This risks include both civil (monetary fines) and criminal (loss of personal freedom) penalties.

You should maybe do a little research about the past bitcoin businesses that may have been great ideas but went wrong badly for either the operators, the users or both.

Extreme cases include the recent Silk Road seizure, and the civil complaint against Trendon Shavers also known as pirateat40 and his Bitcoin Savings and Trust. Nefario's Bitcoin Stock Exchange was another Disaster. Then there is Mybitcoin, Bitcoinica, Bitfoor and the list goes on. All of the cases are well documented and discussed within this forum, reddit and else where around the internet.

There are plenty of successful bitcoin companies and some very interesting (and well funded) startup on the horizon. Unfortunately , for the most part, gone are the days when any coder with a hosted service could spin up a multimillion dollar bitcoin business.
Good luck.
