A year ago TitanCoin was launched on the Byteball platform. Both you and Steve Safronov were attached to the project then -- and still are right now per their website -- and despite the fact that they seemed to know nothing about crypto I took it on trust that it was legit and made an investment. I then spent dozens of hours on Slack trying to sort out the crypto details with them.
A year later it seems that they STILL know nothing about crypto (see my comments on their Slack channel re 3-way peg between TC/fixed $200 price/free float on exchange). What's the deal? Why have your names been attached to this cluster**** of a project when you seem to have had zero oversight/input into it?

It was the first ICO on Byteball platform and they naturally needed our help. We also wanted to learn the needs and hear feedback of ICO projects to be able to improve based on this experience. They were new to crypto and the 3-way peg (it was 1 TC = 1 GB = 1 kg of ilmenite concentrate at that time, as far as I remember) was one of the stupid things I advised them not to do. But it is their project and I was only an adviser.
Since we were actually advising them at that time, it felt natural to allow them to publicly announce the fact and list us as advisors. That was a mistake. Because many people saw it as an endorsement. In all subsequent ICOs, we were much more cautious and didn't allow to list us as advisors even though our role was similar. I just checked the titan coin website and found that our names are still there despite we asked them to remove.
That said, the project has real people behind it and they are not hiding, they claim to have real assets backing their obligations and the last time I heard from them they were going to build the titan processing facilities as initially planned.
rename...
Is there any chance of a re-brand & renaming of the project?
Byteballs sounds catchy and is easy to remember and all, but especially among the large group of the world population who use English as their/a second language, it is a name that's hard to take seriously.
Would be a bit like CleavageCoin...

Byte blocks would have been a better choice

Kidding? The whole point is we are anti-blocks, DAG is Open for everyone.
