History

Titcoin was founded in early 2014 by the entrepreneurs Edward Mansfield and Richard Allen. It was one of the very original altcoins, only a few different cryptocurrencies were widely known at that time (Wikipedia). Titcoin received a lot of media attention in 2014 (see https://github.com/titcoin/doc/wiki/Media-coverage).

In April 2016, the Bittrex account of the Titcoin founders was hacked and all project funds were stolen (Source). They decided to quit and started looking for other developers interested in taking over Titcoin development.

One year later, in May 2017, Titcoin development was finally handed over to a company called "Joy Toilet", but they never did actual development work on Titcoin.

In Q3 2018, the owner of Joy Toilet (called "Doop") started facing financial issues and sold his access to the official Titcoin accounts (Twitter (OfficialTitcoin), Github (OfficialTitcoin), Bitcointalk (prurient)) to the developers of TittieCoin (TTC), another adult cryptocurrency. Under all accounts it was stated that "Titcoin has been bought out by TittieCoin for an undisclosed amount." (Source, Screenshot). The TittieCoin developers then started to claim that they are the legitimate "owner" of Titcoin and promoted that all Titcoin users would have to swap their TIT coins to TTC. This does not come at any costs for them because they are offering a "swap" of their own TTC to a new TTC chain in parallel, which is pure POS and is therefore 100% premined.

So that's why we started building our own community and making our own Titcoin wallet. We're proving that a cryptocurrency can not be "owned" by a few people, but is controlled by the community! A new Titcoin wallet based on Bitcoin 0.16.3 was released by Gandalf86 on Nov. 9, 2018.

In June 2019, community member "mateable" created the subreddit ShowMyTitCoin on Reddit as a place where girls can receive free titcoins by uploading nudes. As of Mai 2020, our subreddit has over 9000 subscribers and hundreds of girls have installed the Titcoin wallet in order to receive their first titcoins!

What is Titcoin?

Titcoin is a cryptocurrency for the adult community. It is exactly what you would expect from a currency called Titcoin!
Titcoin can be used for:
Paying at adult online stores
Rewarding girls for sharing boob pictures
Tipping on webcam sites
Investing money in the power of tits

... etc.. You can basically use Titcoin for anything you like! Only your imagination is the limit. You can find a more detailed list of Titcoin use cases here: https://github.com/titcoin/doc/wiki/Benefits

Titcoin is fun, but it is not just fun! It is also serious. Titcoin is closely following the Bitcoin Core development in order to achieve high software quality and robustness. We're employing unit tests and regression tests to ensure continuous quality during development. The main difference of Titcoin compared to Bitcoin is a faster block time that allows us to compensate a lower transaction volume with higher transaction speed, and a different retargeting algorithm.

Roadmap

The current Titcoin wallet is being developed on this Github repository: https://github.com/titcoin/titcoin

The following goals have been achieved:
Developed a new Titcoin wallet based on Bitcoin 0.16.3 that is fully compatible with the existing Titcoin network
Released binaries for Windows 64bit and Mac OS
Set up Travis CI on Github, including all tests inherited from Bitcoin
Created a new homepage: https://titcoin.github.io/
Got listed on Nova Exchange: https://novaexchange.com/market/BTC_TIT Unfortunately Nova closed its services.

Short-term goals are:
Titcoin giveaway and community building activities
Increased activity on social media

Long-term goals are:
Mobile wallet
Reproducible builds (Gitian)
Upgrading the codebase to Bitcoin 0.17 (or what ever is the most recent version then)
Progressively activating Bitcoin softforks (SegWit etc.)
Adjustments to the Titcoin wallet to support live cam (tipping) scenarios better
And of course, being accepted as a payment method by adult sites and online stores, and becoming the No.1 tipping method in online adult communities!
