TitGold is only relevant to Titcoin in name at the moment, the former being not a clone at all!
Put simply, the purpose of TitGold is to pick up where we left off with Titcoin integration into our main product. Whereas Titcoin will continue along in a B2B or enterprise capacity from now on.
So is TitGold a new cryptocurrency or not? Could you explain what TitGold (technically) is and what Titcoin and Titgold will be used for, respectively? Maybe you could give us some examples of use cases here? It is a new currency or "token". I've added hyperlinks to the initial mention above, the source of which can also be found here. The reason for the differentiation is due to both administration and development expenses being higher when having the base currency operate in both a B2C and B2B space. Especially considering we aren't the original developers of the coin. There's just a lot we would have done differently initially. The previous owners had a different business model and as such created the coin accordingly. We basically evaluated Titcoin again recently, its position in the market and capabilities and decided it was better suited to its original purpose than to the one we've been attempting to make it fit into.

Ok thanks! So TitGold will be a WAVES token that will be used in your game. Users can use Titcoin for buying TitGold on your website, or they can buy TitGold directly via a different exchange. Actually, I agree with you that using Titcoin for your comic strategy game would not have been a good use of it. But the interesting question for me would be, what are your plans for Titcoin now? Also in terms of time. Most of your roadmap only seems to cover Triple X Tycoon and everything that's related to it. You are saying you want to use Titcoin more on the B2B side (business 2 business). So what are your plans in this regard? Do you have a roadmap for that yet? Personally I would like to see Titcoin to be used as a payment method on various sites, e.g. premium porn sites or camming sites. So in that case you could create web APIs for it, or update the wallet interface to be more pleasantly looking, or add features to it that makes it easy to be used in camming scenarios (QR code integration etc.). Do you have any plans similar to these ideas?

Do you have any plans similar to these ideas? You hit the nail on the head actually. An API is currently in development . Alongside negotiations for new partnerships. The news about TitGold being a WAVES token had been largely withheld and is no longer true and all references to such have been cut from the roadmap presented. Which is something we feel is important to disclose at this point in time. Further, no tokens have been sold as part of a 24 hour pilot this had originally been planned to be. We had initially thought a token sale could be of some interest to the broader community, although the current market seems to be on shakier ground than we'd prefer when investing in new ideas like this. So all previous TitGold plans have been cancelled in favor of a native network token of the same name. That is to say that TitGold will not be a cryptocurrency at all and shall only exist in the game's network going forward. Thanks for the questions!

My view is that if you are going to be a crypto investor, you should have some Titcoin, just because. Everyone loves....ok never mind, but I think if you can add a few Titcoin to your crypto portfolio at current prices, then not such a bad idea. That is not at all investment advice, just having a bit of fun, still, lets see where Titcoin price is in 4 months.

Hello everyone,
We have been very busy developing new features to bolster our broader network infrastructure. We will be back soon with a more in-depth update as we continue rolling out our plans for 2018.
For all immediate inquiries feel free to contact the janitor[at]joy-toilet[dot]com.

As said before, I think for a payment solution, running your own blockchain is mandatory, because a token-based solution also requires trust to the underlying platform, which reduces the chance for widespread adoption significantly. For game integration, on the other hand, a token-based solution is optimal because it's fast, uncomplicated and flexible. What confuses me then is this quote: On February 2nd, there was an internal milestone met in which the completion of several thousand lines of networking code was written to be shared across both Triple X Tycoon and Titcoin for use in a multiplayer tie-in at a later date. So are you already planning to use Titcoin in your game or not? But at the same time you are asking whether you should make a new "TitGold" token for integration with your game? Seems like a waste of time if you are going to switch anyway. When thinking about the underlying algorithm for Titcoin, I would suggest switching to a Proof-of-Stake-based solution, because Titcoin is already well-distributed, and PoS is usually faster than PoW and will enable the users of the coin (which are the main target group in this use case, along with the merchants) to support the network and generate coins. This will be the optimal setup when Titcoin becomes a widely accepted currency for adult payments. When hard-forking anyway, this will also allow you to switch to a more recent codebase. Just put a checkpoint at some point when the consensus mechanism changed, then potential security issues around PoW with SHA-256 will be irrelevant. When deciding to develop this Titcoin for the purpose of being a currency, you might also ask for donations to support development, because you won't make any immediate profits from that. I understand that developing an open-source software is not always a solid business model, but there's a lot of money in cryptocurrencies that investors like to give to developers in order to enable them developing these things. Btw. do you have a Discord channel for enabling users and developers to chat? IMO that's a great platform for building a community, and bringing users and developers together.

Great points here as usual. And understandably confused, we could have worded that a bit better. What was implied was that we've already built a framework to tie into the coin without actually moving forward on that implementation yet. The reason being as stated, we recognize the flaws in Titcoin currently and how that could effect stability in the future. I should also note that when we said Titcoin in that context we meant it broadly (as in to include TitGold) although we should have been a lot more specific considering the importance of the decision. We've always typically built in-house and under proprietary licenses and I would be lying if I said we didn't prefer to keep it that way. Although we also fully acknowledge the nature of the project and would like to maintain the transparent and open-source standard of the crypto space. This is why we felt it necessary to revisit the idea of a spin-off "token" as it would allow us some additional room to iterate without destabilizing the base. Thanks for your input!

Alright, that makes sense! We've always typically built in-house and under proprietary licenses and I would be lying if I said we didn't prefer to keep it that way.

Yeah. I can totally understand your point of view. But I would also like to state my point of view, as a user of Titcoin. I think you can make as many tokens or "spin-offs" for your game as you like! But what would be important to me is, what is going to happen with Titcoin?! The one that is going to be used as a payment method for cam girls and porn sites, and online shops. IMO that does not really have much to do with your game. I know that this game is what your business is built on, but that's my point of view. These are two different products. So how is Titcoin going to be developed? Are you going to change the algorithm, or consensus method, or what other plans do you have for it? How are you going to make this an established payment method in the adult industry?

What is titcoin? The Titcoin is a digital currency that relies on a peer-to-peer network so that electronic transactions can be hedged and validated. See More https://www.geekxplore.com/what-is-titcoin.html

Our main priority with Titcoin is stability and cultivating new longer term partnerships with vendors and other platforms. As mentioned, we are considering alternatives to the algorithm, but that kind of change takes time and proper planning. Being a small dev both helps and hinders, and neither we or the previous owners have the advantages that a lot of newer solutions in the space have now. Primarily, it's been working with partners in finding solutions that has helps us continue to take steps toward building a better foundation for people looking to get involved.
