I own one titan BTC with priv key afixed to the coin. Read some of you guys so understood it was a scam.
Does this also affect non 2FA coin or did the guy just scammed all customers?

Last check ive made 1 year ago show the coin was funded with 1 BTC.

As far as I know there are no know issues (so far!) with private-key coins.
I'd also recommend you download an address tracker software, so you can have your public keys checked by just looking in your app.

Ty, really appreciate

I saw that BTCcollector19 redeemed a priv key coin loaded with 0.01 BTC not so far ago.


Sorry  for this question but never heard of address tracking sofware. I guess it work with the coin id number and i don't have any access to it right now (and a least not before a big couple of month)

If it were me, I’m redeeming any I own. I know some people don’t like that I’m saying this as it’s devaluing the coins (not necessarily me alone but as a collective of those who recommend doing the same thing). I don’t think any of us trust Tim at this point (why the hell should we), so me personally I’m not trusting that he doesn’t have copies of the private keys. I’m especially encouraging this if you’ve got a higher amount such as 1BTC. Once you peel them, they will still have collector value/premium, plus you ensure you own that bitcoin and not have to hope that the shady creator doesn’t rug pull. Just my two Satoshis.

They are still cool coins and interesting collector's pieces as a part of bitcoin history, but they are definitely "tainted" by scandal now. I would definitely redeem any Titan coins even if they were privkey. I mean can you even tell? I didn't even know my coin was 2FA until I unpeeled it.

If Tim is as evil as ppl says, then it makes no sense to rob 2FA and not the whole bag. My guess is PK stickers were made by a subcontractor (as the physical coin too). The guy then put the stickers on the coins then sold them. Tim have no access to PK for non 2FA coins!!!
Quite confident with that.

Anyway, i have the code available on the certificate (7 or 8 digits) but not the public key (and site is down)!

I bought this coin in 2017 and remembered it was clearly stated that u could buy 2FA/PK. The whole  process was clearly described and even an idiot like me was able to navigate easily trough the activation step.
I choose PK to avoid any third party.

Would suggest to let the dust settle, not rushing to peel the PK for those who can afford that.

Well unfortunate news.  My run to the San Diego FBI Field Office was a complete non-event.  Showed up to some place that looked like Fort Knox and of course Google Maps had me coming in some extra fortified entrance that made me fell like I had a hundred tiny red dots on my forehead.  Backed out of there (slowly) and eventually found the visitors shack around the corner, where I had to speak to 'Zippy' standing inside through the teensiest, tiniest little speaker at balls level, trying to explain to him that I would like to report a 2 1/2 million dollar theft to an agent, only to be told, "we don't take in person reports any more".  He then pointed to a stack of cards (see below) and told me to call one of those numbers.  



Sooooooooooooo anti-climatic.  I was really looking forward to this.

Oh well, I will try the LA field office when I have some time and see if I have better luck there.

Earlier today you were asking if Titan PK coins were affected and seemed to have little knowledge of the whole situation, now you’re confident about knowing how some of his procedures took place..Interesting.  

Truth is you have no real idea what Tim has access to or not PK wise outside of the 2FA coins. Tim encouraged people to buy 2FA coins, despite it always being a bad idea and not properly executed,un- like Casascius 2FA items which don’t require Mike Caldwell or his website to be redeemed, nor did he store all 2FA keys in a bank vault (like Tim did). Tim has poorly managed his website and locked people out of their btc value on 2FA coins several times over the years. Most recently his sites 2FA redemption tool was down for a couple years, then all of a sudden he moves the coins and comes up with a convoluted doxxing process to redeem them..which was not what he originally promised and promoted.

I didn’t say Tim was evil, I said he was shady, which is a fact. Tim has been pulling this nonsense for years..and I’ve posted plenty of proof of this. Have you read his websites TOS before when it was available ? I have, and it’s shady. Why did Tim outsource business to Russia and Russian programmers..I can’t think of any legitimate reasons for doing so but I can think of illicit reasons in doing so. Cheap programmers can be found in nations like India and other countries that you might have legal recourse if your partners screw you in any way..that’s not happening in Russia. Titanbitcoin.com seems to be down atm (I’m on mobile so perhaps it’s accessible via desktop and will try tomorrow), so anyone trying to redeem their coins can’t even visit the website to even try to. Titanbtc.com is up and running, with a link to titanbitcoin.com for “more information”, that doesn’t work..and there’s not a single mention of how to redeem 2FA coins and or the issue with them. So if you weren’t aware of the situation you’re probably trying to contact Tim directly, who won’t respond. He apparently has the bitcoin from the 2FA coins now, but is making it as difficult as possible to redeem ..this all isn’t shady?  I beg to differ. Why in the Fuck would you trust anything Tim has created ..he’s given zero reason to do so. I could go on.

    I have to agree with Ty...as a past owner of some of the Private key Titans....I redeemed them as fast as I could the minute this thread was started. Why take the chance and hope against hope they will not be swept? If a creator is tainted in anyway...peel first and not take the chance your precious BTC will be swept. Rather have my BTC in my Trezor and still have the physical coin in my possession than possible stolen BTC and regret later down the line.

   Like the saying goes....  forewarned is forearmed!

Ok this actually made me laugh a bit at the insane incompetence of our law enforcement services. This is turning into a more interesting story day by day. Maybe contact Coingecko or Coindesk and get them to cover your experience, sunshine can only help here.

Why in the Fuck would you trust anything Tim has created ..he’s given zero reason to do so. I could go on.

Ive just asked kindly for a brief summary of the situation. It takes then 20 minutes to discover that only 2FA is impacted not PK coins. I do not need to check further to assess the situation which is obviously quite common : a ripp off.
 Maybe ive been screwed. Will not be the 1st or last time. I do not really care, i knew before i bought the coin that it was a tricky situation (not your key, not your bitcoin).

Anyway, Tim bought silver coins he designed himself   from a local mint then contract a company for the stickers. So what?
Do you really think he bought all the equipement necessary to mint coin and create PK? Then spent time to learn how to use all those costly machines?
For such small batch of coin sold at low price, his business would not have been profitable and he would probably starved to death before selling even one coin.

This is common practice in industry to hire subconstractors for hardware then assemble the parts alltogether and sold the whole at a decent price.
That's why i am confident.

Many thanks for this thread and all the kind people who replied. (asfar as i know, no such equivalent to bitcointalk in France). Sorry for my wrong wording

Cheap programmers can be found in nations like India and other countries that you might have legal recourse if your partners screw you in any way..that’s not happening in Russia. Titanbitcoin.com seems to be down atm (I’m on mobile so perhaps it’s accessible via desktop and will try tomorrow), so anyone trying to redeem their coins can’t even visit the website to even try to. Titanbtc.com is up and running, with a link to titanbitcoin.com for “more information”, that doesn’t work..and there’s not a single mention of how to redeem 2FA coins and or the issue with them. So if you weren’t aware of the situation you’re probably trying to contact Tim directly, who won’t respond. He apparently has the bitcoin from the 2FA coins now, but is making it as difficult as possible to redeem ..this all isn’t shady?  I beg to differ. Why in the Fuck would you trust anything Tim has created ..he’s given zero reason to do so. I could go on.

Ive just asked kindly for a brief summary of the situation. It takes then 20 minutes to discover that only 2FA is impacted not PK coins. I do not need to check further to assess the situation which is obviously quite common : a ripp off.
 Maybe ive been screwed. Will not be the 1st or last time. I do not really care, i knew before i bought the coin that it was a tricky situation (not your key, not your bitcoin).

Anyway, Tim bought silver coins he designed himself   from a local mint then contract a company for the stickers. So what?
Do you really think he bought all the equipement necessary to mint coin and create PK? Then spent time to learn how to use all those costly machines?
For such small batch of coin sold at low price, his business would not have been profitable and he would probably starved to death before selling even one coin.

This is common practice in industry to hire subconstractors for hardware then assemble the parts alltogether and sold the whole at a decent price.
That's why i am confident.

Many thanks for this thread and all the kind people who replied. (asfar as i know, no such equivalent to bitcointalk in France). Sorry for my wrong wording



There’s a French part of BitcoinTalk, check the homepage.

I never said Tim minted the coins, or created his holograms ..of course he didn’t. He also didn’t design the coins- proof- https://youtu.be/qV7I-TZIjKc . But he most likely did create the private keys and worked on Assembly ..at least I would sure as shit hope he did, otherwise they are even more risky than they already are as we have no idea who did create the keys.. Tim sold a lot of coins (more so than people realize or he’s ever admitted), and likely had a high end printer /pc setup to facilitate the funding..just like Casascius, kialara, crypto imperator, lealana, satori, btcc, polymerbit, cold keys (scam), bigtimespaghetti, etc etc all did.  Key generation and hologram placement is the main thing these makers do , along with many also doing design. No mints print keys and assemble coins..none. MinerJones and OGNasty are two forum members who have created keys for other coin companies like Genesis and Nattymind (or something close to that), for example, but this is always clearly stated and made known to buyers.  

One common thing between scam coins ..there’s typically no mention of how and who created the keys. Titan I don’t believe has ever stated this information..I could be wrong ..but yet another red flag. Again, I’ve read his TOS…it didn’t leave me feeling confident, and clearly established to try and curtail potential litigation.

No offense, but your claims are purely conjecture, and misinformed.

I don't think so, but I do have a photo of his ID & corresponding email he sent to another user "proving" he was still in control.

Not posting any of that here, but if you pm me kindly and what your intentions are to do with the info, I may be willing to forward it to trusted members.

Thanks... PS I have no skin in this game anymore, I just hate scammers and this shit is getting weird. ... Roll Eyes

So now all of Titan's websites are down..why?? So lets say that you own a Titan 2FA coin and are trying to log in to redeem your coin, or even just check the balance...you can't even reach the webpage. 

They have explained that the website was down for maintenance, but if he's no longer utilizing the 2FA redemption tool, then why are his websites down (both of them at this point). 

So you're a 2FA owner, can't access his website and if you try to reach out to him he wont respond.  The deeper you dig in to all this, the shadier it all becomes...  This is serious theft at this point, plain and simple.  Tim is obviously reading this thread and re-acting according to what's being said.

This was the last website of his that was up just a couple days ago.  It had a link to the main Titan website... now... https://titanbtc.com/

Why protect a scamming piece of shit? Personally I’d post all information I have without a care (maybe just  a small disclaimer lol). Parents address, known phone numbers and emails… license - ALL OF IT!

I’ve never understood why people protect scammers or care about them. Literally the lowest form of humans. They have no right to privacy or protection.

And Tim is a scammer - maybe it was up in the air when he was still responding, but now… a year later… btc has been moved from the addresses.… come on guys - if it looks like shit, smells like shit, lays there like a pile of shit… it’s SHIT.

That is all - no dog in this fight personally

No dog here either man but forum rules prevent me from doxing someone unless it's in the investigations board.

I'm not protecting anybody here, I'm just someone people trust who sent me stuff.... Huh

Open a thread in Investigations or PM me and I'll send you everything I know - Personally, I don't have time to do that myself and like I said, I have no skin in the game.

I've already shared it with one member, so we'll see I guess.. Tongue

Sorry to enrage you, i get it I really do but I will not dox anyone here, I don't need to get temp-banned. Roll Eyes

I'm not seeing an 'Investigations' board...not sure where to find it. Would 'scam accusations' be the proper board? If so, as a newbie, can I actually create a thread?
