There can’t be many of the 2FA titan coins left, at this point.  But for sure, a notice about not buying them would be helpful.
Regarding a class action, that might be an option with payment contingent on recovery. There might not be anything to recover, though. A PI might be able to determine that.
It’s an unfortunate situation all around. I still do like the idea of a physical coin that you can exchange intact, or sweep the bitcoin out of. There are some low denomination tokens currently on eBay made to a pirate theme. Very high premium through. Of course that’s what I said about the satori chips when they were selling for 50 dollars. Now sold for 250. Sure wished I collected a few.

I email him once or twice a month. He probably never checks it. Heck of a thing to have hanging over tiur head though. The way bc is going recently, you’d think he’d be keen on settling with everyone quickly before it goes higher

OhOh

Well ffs I wish he would have just said that with a site notice.  And let us know that we still might get some return once the mtgox thing got resolved. Yes we would have read him the riot act but, he might still have been able to keep the site up. The site intact, with some number of users who might have been “hodling” anyway and maybe buying product,  surely would  have been worth more than it is now, which is basically a domain placeholder. I dunno. Guy owes me one bc though. I’d have been fine with sitting on it but now, forget it.

Ok, good to know. I have no issues with signing a release. I didn’t know that there were other people going through the same thing, either. When I lost access to the coin on his website, I guess I should have looked around for some answers. For a long time I thought it was a password problem though.
Do you, or does anyone, know how many coins remain  “unresolved”?
Thanks

Hi everyone. I’ve read through some of this thread and the last thread.
I have a titan one 2FA coin. I discovered that I couldn’t redeem it when I went to change
The password before selling, years ago. Since then, it’s been in limbo.
The coin ID did show one funded bit coin on the titan mint site. However they do not work in the wallet explorer sites
because, I guess, they are not true “firstbits” like my Microsoul coin has.
Tim did finally respond to my emails, in early 2025, and offered a 40 percent payout. He wanted my state ID
and the coin info. I was worried about fraud and before I could decide weather to accept that deal or wait to see if he could restart the Website, he ghosted me. I fell in love with the dramatic design
of the coins but sadly, it seems they are just lumps of metal now. Unless you are lucky enough to
own the private key version, apparently.

Was there any progress with a lawsuit regarding this crypto coin debacle?

OhOh

Thank you for the information. The titan thread will
Make good reading.
I’ll use the collectible board in the future.

Hope this is in the right forum.
I have one of these which I didn't think much about until I recently discovered the address and funding issues they have.

It’s in a capsule. Serial Number is 400 something. It’s a pretty coin with the gold highlights.

My question is, is it better to peel the coin or leave it intact? This coin and a titan mint coin (which is now defunct) have been my only exposure to bitcoin. I liked the idea of a physical coin, and still do for very small amounts. But clearly the technology has moved on, and these are only collectibles now.

This coin does show up as funded on a wallet explorer site. But I as I understand, there is no way to know if the private address is functional without actually attempting to redeem it.

Glad I discovered this problem, by accident really, before selling it.
Thanks again!

I have a titan bitcoin. It was the so called 2FA type, and I couldn’t redeem it on the site, which is a well know issue with them.  and Then the site went dark anyway. I could until sometime ago, (few years perhaps) check the balance of the coin on the wallet explorer site. For years it came up as 1.00 bc even though I couldn’t do anything with it. Today when I decided to check on it, it came up as “not found”. This was puzzling. If someone,  or even that guy who sold the coins, stole the bc, wouldn’t the wallet still be found, just with no funds? With a transaction record also?
I was in contact with Mr. Filmore for a while last year, and he mentioned the mt gox debacle was the reason the titan mint site was closed. I haven’t heard from him since.

Thanks for any info.
