We have been working for almost a year now on this coin and are still doing all we possibly can. I can hardly imagine that scammers put that kind of effort in a coin. With Titcoin we have always aimed for a long term commitment, I believe that the articles we published over the year, the fact that the identities of our main developers are known, the amount of time we announced it before we released it and the conferences we attended confirm that. We invested a significant amount of time and money in Titcoin. The advice that is often given when in doubt about a coin is to read up on forums, check it's course, talk to the team and simply judge on the specs, how open they are, their marketing strategy and how determined they are. If would give the same advice about Titcoin, read up, follow us and you can easily see that we are serious about this and are not here for a pump and dump.

If you want more information you can also follow or read up on the CryptoCoinTalk forum which was until now the most active one. The best way to get the recent news is to follow Edward on twitter. https://twitter.com/OfficialTitcoin

I am happy to see that our bitcointalk forum comes to live again as well, I'll have to start monitoring it more often  .
https://cryptocointalk.com/topic/3407-titcoin-tit-information/

We want to thank all loyal members of the Titcoin community for their patience and dedication.
 
We have 2 pieces of news today:
 
1) We finally got listed on Bittrex which will give us exponentially more trading volume and a more accurate coin price
2) We are now part of CoinToPay which is another leading payment processor for alt cryptocurrencies
 
The 3rd news (which came out Friday) is we have is a potential partnership with Nick Guccione from the Penthouse Magazine family. The details and agreements are being hammered out as we speak, but in exchange for helping him create a Guccione coin as part of the larger Guccione Empire (high-end erotica, casinos, top-shelf liquor, etc), he has agreed to help Titcoin get accepted by numerous affiliates in addition to his websites scheduled to launch in January 2015.
 
We do have a 4th piece of news which we can't reveal at the moment. This news will come out within the next few days but it involves an opportunity that will get us massive exposure to decision makers in the adult industry. We apologize we can't announce this yet... because as some of you know our competitors continuously copy our marketing strategy and steal our thunder. We'll make this announcement when the time is right.
 
Thanks again

The reason for the rise is this announcement:

The admin of that pool is usually around on the cryptocointalk thread:
https://cryptocointalk.com/topic/3407-titcoin-tit-information-new-wallet-available-fork-to-occur-tue-aug-26-at-1200gmt/

There are 3 mirror links to download the wallet in case one is broken. They all appear to be working at the moment:

Please, please, please Backup your current wallet.dat file before making this update. In your current wallet, under the File menu, the first option is Backup. Save that file someplace safe. Technically if you just replace your old wallet with your new wallet, you won't even be touching your existing .dat file. But it's better to be safe than sorry.

As for the 2 main fork updates, Digishield is meant to prevent the difficulty spike we saw during the July retarget which caused Titcoin transactions to grind to a snails pace over the last month. It will give a more accurate difficulty score based on current network hashrate so blocks will be found at a steady pace. This will also prevent multi-pools from slamming into Titcoin pushing the difficulty up before they jump out.

The block/time was also reduced. Long story short, merchant transactions were timing out which made us realize in order for Titcoin to be a true transactional currency, we need to speed this up. A stripper getting a Titcoin donation shouldn't have to wait 30 mins. This update drops the time to wait for a transaction to around 5 mins which is much more reasonable... especially for in person POS transactions.

The obvious drawback is it does mean more blocks will be found going forward. In theory, that may lead to a drop in per/coin price going forward. However, we believe the current price is artificially low anyways. Over the last 50 days when hardly any blocks were being found, the price should've skyrocketed due to low supply... but it didn't. The current price is purely based off speculation, and once we have sites accepting Titcoin, it will be easier to measure the true value. But the good news in all of this is if you're a dedicated Titcoin miner, you will be earning much more Titcoins going forward. So any decrease in price will be offset by the fact that you'll have much more Titcoins in your wallet.

Ideally this will be the only fork we do (at least for a long time). We're in this for the long haul and want to smartly put all the pieces together to create a stable currency going forward. Thanks for being patient during our growing pains.

forwarded your question to Edward and the dev, not sure whether he can do that though. I'll put the answer here when I get it.

Hard fork will occur on Tuesday August 26 at 1200GMT.

a Titcoin fork is coming very soon. We will announce the approximate time but it will likely be within the next week or sooner.
There will be 2 updates in the fork:
1) Digishield
2) reduced block time

Or simply google for titcoin and see how much work we have been putting into it already.

What you can't see of course is all the meetings we did with major adult entertainment partners that we have been doing in the mean time.

The first thing I find about WankCoin is May 2014. We warned about imitators here:
Tittiecoin was also one that came immediately after our announcement:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=437695.0
WankCoin was announced several months after TitCoin and surprisingly one month after the humoristic titcoin video went viral:
https://vimeo.com/92087150
However, we preferred to build up our contacts first instead of launching out of the blue.
Next on our roadmap is to get on an exchange so we have an idea of the value of titcoin and recontact these partners.

If you claim this, then please provide some proof, numbers and indicate us what you are talking about, the 6 hours dedicated to our early supporters, or the titcoin premine prior to that?

Reasons for the titcoin premine:

• The main and most important reason is that these coins will be used to negotiate with the businesses with whom we are talking the last months. 
  
  • If there is nothing in it for them, why would they partner with us?
  • It is important to have partners that have a personal interest in the value of the coin, not someone who just accepts it. This will help to stabilize the value.
• Besides of that, we will hand out 69 coins to all users on the mailing list which will happen soon.
• Then there are contests, there is already a social media contest announced on twitter, how will we else reward those people? The contest can be found here: https://promosimple.com/ps/4d14

More info on out strategy in this article: http://www.vice.com/en_ca/read/titcoin-is-a-brand-new-cryptocurrency-for-porn-purchases
PS: The premine that was done by the Titcoin team is announced beforehand and is part of our marketing strategy as described in the article. It is a bit late to give comments on that now.

Before the public announcement we allowed everyone that was on our mailing list to mine for 6 hours for two reasons:

• Make sure that everyone who was following us from the start, this is our way of saying thank you to the early supporters
• Allow GPU miners that were there from the start to get a few coins.
• Instead of refreshing the site every day, we e-mailed everyone a few days and one day before the launch to make sure everyone had an equal start.

PS: this was announced on multiple forums as well as on facebook, twitter, reddit, etc..

Mupool said recently:
We fixed our backend issues, we werent prepared to find blocks that fast.
Now its time for our frontend, the hashrates are surely highly off currently... We working on it

Great!

at the moment, multiple pools are having difficulties. On Cryptocointalk most of the miners seem to be moving to ispace.
