To be fair we had one large price spike which was mainly due to heavy speculation during the general crypto boom in 2017; if you take that spike out it will look much less dramatic.    We're slowly working towards grassroots adoption in the background (even outside of Discord, using more private communication channels). These processes take time. Private Alias payments have no known weaknesses at this point and it is much more eco-friendly than Monero, so we can recommend everyone to start using it for their daily transactions (e.g. with friends, family, customers etc.) whenever possible!

Latoken has decided to withdraw their previous listing offer and ask for $15k on top of the $5k which we already paid now. They offered a refund though, which we decided to accept. Waiting for the refund now...

Edit: We have received the full refund now!    Looking for suggestions for alternative exchanges to get listed on.

Also, there are two matrix channels that you can join now:

• https://matrix.to/#/#alias-bridge:nitro.chat - Discord #the-lounge channel bridged to Matrix
• https://matrix.to/#/#alias:nitro.chat (also available as #alias-cash:matrix.org) - Dedicated matrix channel that is not bridged to Discord

This is our initial attempt to make the project more attractive for individuals who are serious about privacy and decentralization and therefore haven't joined us on Discord, yet.    If you want to access Matrix without providing personal details I can personally recommend https://nitro.chat as a home server, which only requires a password and user name to register (no email address etc.). All home servers on the Matrix network are interoperable so it doesn't matter where you join!

Btw. I think this was well-inteded but a bit premature by @cryptolooker. Latoken never committed to a listing release date and haven't been very responsive during the last week, so we can assume that integrating Alias is still in their pipeline.

We're looking for a sales representative for the Alias project right now, if someone here has sales experience or knows someone who has please get in contact.  

Yep this is legit. Most of the action is currently happening in Discord, although we have recently also set up a matrix bridge for our main channel: https://matrix.to/#/#alias:nitro.chat

Thanks for your support 


Update on this: Segwit and CSV softforks have been locked in, which means that we WILL have these features at the end of this year!    ETA for new wallet with Bech32 addresses, Segwit and atomic swaps is now: End of November 2021.

Titcoin version 0.16.3.5 has been released!

Almost one year after the previous release, this version 0.16.3.5 comes with updated high-speed seed nodes brought to you by @Cminor and other unknown heroes. Apart from that, the previous timeout (2021-12-31) for the crucial Segwit and CSV softforks, which unlock additional features for future development, has been removed, which means that these features will be enabled at any point in time in the future as soon as enough Titcoin miners support it. This should have been the way right from the beginning, sorry for that.

You can find the full change notes at https://github.com/titcoin/titcoin/releases/tag/v0.16.3-titcoin5

All miners and pool operators should update to this new version .5 as soon as possible, to continue supporting the softfork even after 2021-12-31.    If you previously had connection/syncing problems, this update should fix that. You can download the wallet via the above link or on the download page https://titcoin.github.io/download/

Download: https://titcoin.github.io/download

The following milestones on the roadmap are:

• Rebasing to newest Bitcoin core, enabling Bech32 addresses, Segwit and atomic swaps (ETA: as soon as we have >90% miner support, + 2-3 months)
• Development of a native "lightweight" mode that is used by all graphical wallets by default, and can be switched on or off in the settings. (ETA: Q1 2022). This should reduce the initial syncing time for non-verifying nodes to a few seconds.
• Development of a prototype Android wallet based on titcoind using lightweight mode. (ETA: Q3 2022)

Hehe I have no idea    Titcoin is technically just a Bitcoin clone so it should have the same Mcap as Bitcoin!!!11!! No?

Seriously, sorry I have been a bit inactive for the past months. I still have some interesting ideas for Titcoin that I hope to implement in the following year, like making a light wallet and mobile wallet with explicit support for tipping other users. That will put us in a great position to collaborate with webcam sites.  

But first there are seed nodes that want to get updated and a DNS seed server to be set up. Still hoping that TIT miners will start supporting Segwit at some point. 

Yes indeed! So we have a new talented developer, @spectrocium, who is developing a light wallet and who is already making big progress!

I will try to keep you guys up to date here, I see that there has not been much activity in this thread lately.

Hello everyone, check out our new exchange Exbitron (ANN: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5337902)

• TIT/BTC : https://www.exbitron.com/trading/titbtc
• TIT/DOGE : https://www.exbitron.com/trading/titdoge
• TIT/LTC : https://www.exbitron.com/trading/titltc
• TIT/BCH : https://www.exbitron.com/trading/titbch

Unfortunately our previously recommended exchange "Unnamed Exchange" is having some problems and facing scam accusations (see ANN and the scam accusation thread), so from now on Exbitron will be our main recommended exchange.

Note that Exbitron was created only very recently, so as always, do not store more coins on exchanges than necessary. Like Unnamed, this exchange does not have KYC requirements, you only need an email address and TOTP aka. "Google Authenticator" program in order to use it.

Happy trading!

I'm happy to be in early with this one. CrypytoCoderz is an experienced cryptocurrency dev, I'm pretty sure the coin will not "disappear" anytime soon. Quite contrary, we can use the momentum here to get some decent adoption. Being used by many people can make a coin more useful for real life transactions than some of the more "serious" projects.

PPCN also seems to share some technology with Espers (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1434700.0) that has many interesting ideas on the more technical/fundamental side of things. Excited to see where this will go and what the synergy between the two projects will be!

Thanks! 

I would like to follow up on this saying that I have received the withdrawal for my remaining funds now. The second one was approved much faster. Thanks @TillKoeln! I wouldn't say that this was a pleasant experience but at least finally everything worked.  Glad to see you back in the forum answering questions! 

Alright guys I want to update you on this matter, one month later. Around the same time as I noticed my account being locked I got a message from TillKoeln where he accused me of hacking his site, because apparently I am using the same browser and IP as some attacker (I'm using a VPN). Of course I had nothing to do with it and after a solid 2 weeks of discussing they unlocked my account again. @Mr00HasH was very helpful and responsive on this matter, I think he's a good guy who is legit trying to help.

Then I tried to withdraw some BTC (a small amount) but it got stuck ("error") because apparently the hot wallet was empty. Mr00HasH said he can do nothing about it because TillKoeln is the only person who has access to wallets. One thing I noticed is the high withdrawal fee of 0.00075000 BTC, which was apparently because Bitcoin fees are so high. Fair enough. I asked them to cancel the withdrawal so I can withdraw my full funds all at once to save fees.

Another two weeks later (a few days ago), TillKoeln became active and authorized the withdrawal instead of canceling it. The transaction was pushed to the network, but the actual transaction only used a fraction of the fee they charged me for it, 0.00018000 BTC. Result: TX is stuck in mempool for days, still not included. Meanwhile, on the site the withdrawal is shown as "completed".

Summary:

• There were apparently attacks on the exchange, owner seems a bit paranoid at this point
• Support response times of multiple weeks, but things were eventually settled, yet
• Charged withdrawal fee is 4x of what is actually used as the transaction fee
• Actual transaction fee is way too small
• Withdrawal is marked as complete even though the transaction wasn't included on the blockchain

At this point I have come to the conclusion that Unnamed Exchange and TillKoeln are not scammers. They simply don't know what they are doing and unable to deal with the challenges faced. I think it's quite possible that in some cases they did not intentionally steal money but just accounted it incorrectly.

Still hoping to get my money out eventually. I'll report back in a month.  

Edit: Transaction was included after 4 days! 

When trying to login, I am now seeing this message:


I still have Bitcoin in there. @Tillkoeln, if you are around, please solve this problem ... it's not looking good ... 

Hello everyone, as you know we are trying to softfork into Segwit using Versionbits for almost a year now, but there are still miners/pools who are mining old blocks / have no versionbits enabled.

Please check that you are running the most recent version of the Titcoin daemon, 0.16.3.4. Learn how you can find out the version of your Titcoin daemon here: https://github.com/titcoin/doc/wiki/Mining#client-version

Old clients with version 0.16.3.3 have stopped supporting Segwit on 31 December because I underestimated the time it would take to have everyone update their wallet. 

Segwit and CSV are important for moving forward because they'll unlock a new address format (Bech32) and allows us to get listed on decentralized exchanges. If we will not reach those 90% support until 31 December 2021 I will probably force-enable it, but I'd like to avoid that and get everyone on board instead. 

New homepage is online at https://titcoin.github.io/

This new homepage is much more user-centric and less technical. Feedback is welcome!    Let me know if you agree with the general presentation of the project here. I have tried to express my vision for this coin to decentralize the world of pornography as clearly as possible! 

Hello everyone, it has been some time since the last Titcoin News so I would like to give you a summary of what has happened and what we are working on now!

• Our community member Sneil has started his own porn site which will continue to be developed in the coming weeks and months: https://cryptoporn.xxx/  The absolutely amazing thing about this site is that Titcoin will be the default payment method! Other adult cryptocurrencies and mainstream coins will be added as available payment methods as well. This site will most likely be non-custodial, which means that payments will be transferred to the Titcoin wallet of the uploader as soon as content is being purchased.    This is a major milestone for Titcoin and a big step towards adoption, and we are all very excited about what has yet to come! 
• Reddit user and adult performer Eliza Gray has joined us and is accepting Titcoin payments!
• Both CryptoPorn and Eliza's social links are listed on our new partners page, which will continue to be updated: https://github.com/titcoin/doc/wiki/Partners
• The current plan for mobile wallets is to get added in multi-coin wallets, rather than making our own. This will provide much better usability and stability for most users, since most people use more than one cryptocurrency. Feel free to suggest multi-wallets that you would like Titcoin to be added to!
• The Segwit softfork is ongoing and has not been locked in yet. If you are mining Titcoin or run a pool, please make sure that you are running the latest Titcoin 0.16.3.4 wallet! This is super important for migrating to a newer Bitcoin codebase.

Stay healthy and horny and stay tuned for more news! 

Currently working on getting on new exchanges, but you can try your luck on https://btcpop.co/home.php which apparently has an ESP pair.

Hi, unfortunately no. There is one community member on Discord who is planning to set up a new block explorer, and I have paid for enough explorer listings during the past years (adding up to several hundreds of dollars) so I'll rather wait for that.

FYI, what happened to the last 2 block explorers: Blockexperts.com admin seems to be dead, there were no replies to tickets and he didn't update the wallet so it ended up on a fork. KriptoKyng's explorer went offline a couple of weeks ago, he has not been seen since then.

If you want to check the balance, your best bet is to download the latest Titcoin wallet and sync it, and import your private keys. I can post a checkpoint if you want to make sure that you're on the right chain.

Sorry for the inconvenience, I hope we will have a block explorer again soon.    If anyone wants to sponsor an explorer listing, feel free to do so.  

There is definitely significant development happening here. They just released the new mobile App in public beta, which is a full-node mobile app with full convergence (so desktop version and mobile version are actually the same program!). That's a big deal IMO, it allows users to stake coins on their phones and opens up an entirely new target group of people who only have a smartphone but no PC.
