Topic: [ANN] Titcoin [TIT] - The cryptocurrency for porn! - page 4. (Read 28003 times)

Hi all,

I'm currently thinking about enabling BIP66 and BIP65 (block v3 and v4) in order to allow people to use the block version number more freely. Right now, the only legal block version number is 0x00000002, but some people want to use mining techniques like AsicBoost and some pools use custom version numbers to identify their own blocks which currently leads to some problems with Titcoin. Triggering BIP66 would be the first softfork for Titcoin ever, so it would kick out those original Titcoin miners that might still be running.

Are there any miners or pool operators here who have an opinion on this?

Some small updates! 

Unfortunately our previous main pool TheCoin.pw got hacked last week and is closing. Our other pool, Mining-Dutch, is closing the Titcoin pool next week due to low usage. Right now we have 2 community members working on creating our own Titcoin pool!    If anybody wants to add Titcoin to an existing pool, please feel free to do so and let us know. 

Also, since Novaexchange stopped their service last year, I am looking for a new crypto exchange to get Titcoin listed on! Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Unfortunately I spend my entire money on the Novaexchange listing because it seemed like a promising long-term investment into the future of Titcoin back then. So right now we will either need to be listed on an exchange that does not require listing fees, or rely on a sponsor who can donate the listing fee for us. If you are interested in sponsoring a Titcoin exchange listing, please join our Discord!

I have started a Titcoin giveaway on Reddit that will run for 1 month: https://www.reddit.com/r/showmytitcoin/comments/gsnsb1/free_titcoin_giveaway/
In order to participate, you need to have a Reddit account that is older than 1 month. You can repeatedly earn Titcoins by inviting girls into our community, which is a great way to contribute and accumulate coins without having to invest any money!

You can always mine a more profitable coin, and then sell the coins and use the income to rent Titcoin mining power.    After all, mining is just a method for investing energy into a cryptocurrency, and money is just a metaphor for energy. Whether you invest energy or money doesn't really matter. Via Nicehash, even people who do not own any mining equipment can mine Titcoin, which seems to be an advantage to me because it increases the amount of people who can mine the coin.


Thanks for the suggestion!  You can help with that! Feel free to post your suggestions of sites that might want to accept Titcoin here in this thread or on Discord and I will send them a message. Maybe we can create some kind of "marketing task force" that reaches out to potential partners? 

When institutional money jumps in to bitcoin, that be beneficial for shitcoin stardom and normally flat titicoin chart will start to show some volatile wicks. Fuel titcoin with some hydrogen and it will soar higher than ur head. However bad rumors have ensued to plague this tit with sticky pus. Rumors be, some early adopters and bearers are not comfortable with Gandalf's orientation. People know he is gay whereby they are offended.

Oh Gandalf, my deer bottom boy. You are the only guy on this forum who forwent luxuries of lavish lifestyle for the chance of staying with those you loved. I am not gonna pad with you nor am I gonna listen to your excuses, for there is a prevailing evidence that you were engaged in things many would deem nasty. Owing to your youth and lack of experience, you failed to get approval from people you adored the most. Everyone is gonna vouch for my words, ask your comrades what they think about your past. You are not the guy of dignity which many know to be the fact of truth.

I agree with if have more miner u can promote more. If come more popular the result with be more satisfatory.

Search for more website that can accept ithink that is the first step.

maybe im miner that why i think to change algo is the good way im not buy equipment.


this is my opinion it not advice or suggest anything in your project.



some miner like me take some card to mine not popular coin and not think about profit but it make you coin have strong network(yes we think about profit but if it not happen it ok we know risk to mine some alt coin).

i think asic miner focus to top coin like BTC-BCH-BCSV first because asic miner need profit to pay electricity first and people have asic miner is less than people have PC.

and yes we can rent mining power form nicehash but why i want to rent for mine titcoin when i can rent to mine top tier altcoin too and hope for profit.


i think when you have more miner can easy to promote more than tell to everyone want to titcoin go to rent mining power after that when coin popular maybe you change to POS it use less power.




PS.sorry for my English is not good.

Thanks for your suggestions.


Yes that is right. This is actually pretty simple, but it's a lot of work. We need to:

1) Find sites that might be interested in accepting or integrating crypto
2) Send emails or messages or contact them via social media
3) Explain how Titcoin can help them in their specific case
4) Wait for responses, maybe explain more.

If you would like to help with this, you can join Discord for coordination! We can also make a Github wiki page or Etherpad to collect sites that might be interesting and record their response, so that the same site won't get multiple messages from different people.  

One idea I had regarding integrating Titcoin on porn sites was this: Since Titcoin has a block time of only 60 seconds, users could "unblock" premium content by sending coins to a unique address that was dynamically generated on the web server for the specific request. That way they could "pay" for premium content without having to buy a premium membership, or even having to make an account! That would have benefits for both users and site operators.    Users could freely switch between sites that accept Titcoin and only pay for content they actually want.



You are not the first one to suggest changing the algorithm, but I don't really see a reason to change. Everybody can rent cheap SHA256 hashes from https://www.nicehash.com/ . That's much more price efficient than mining any cryptocurrency at home using your own PC due to electricity costs! And you don't need to buy any equipment.

Yes I am regularly getting in contact with exchanges. Unfortunately many exchanges still want a fee for listing coins, and I spent all of the money that I had reserved for Titcoin on the Novaexchange listing last year. So we will either need to find an exchange that will list Titcoin for free, or find a sponsor who is willing to pay the listing fee. Having an exchange (besides Yobit, which is always in maintenance and never responds to messages) would be great!

i think you no need for suggestions  everything you write in website is right way but not easy to make it.

in this list you need to find good partner  website or merchandise to accept titcoin.

-Tipping your favorite amateur pornography creators
-Buying content from premium porn sites
-Tipping on webcam sites
-Buying Titcoin merchandise with Titcoin
-Buying sex toys and lingerie


this list i think harder  cryptocurrency not popular to everyone accept in public yet.

-Enabling women to pay for drinks by showing their tits
-Incentivizing women to show off their tits on social media
-Promoting the use of cryptocurrencies within the adult entertainment scene



and first idea for me is change algo from SHA256d to other algo with asics resistance or cpu only.

for anyone not have asic can mine you coin to make titcoin more miner afterthat list in some exchange.

maybe that make titcoin more popular.

That's exactly the right question! I have tipped many girls using Titcoin on the ShowMyTitCoin subreddit, and for many of them Titcoin was the first cryptocurrency they have ever used. But large scale adoption is really the main challenge of all altcoins. 95% of altcoins can not be used to buy anything, and that includes Titcoin at the moment.

I am trying really hard to figure out ways how we can build up a community that USES Titcoin for actual stuff!    If you have any ideas or suggestions, please share them. Adoption is really the only thing that is missing yet in order to make Titcoin successful!  

have any real use case yet?

Hello everyone, here are some Titcoin news! 

Reddit

You can now discuss about Titcoin on Reddit on our new subreddit here: https://www.reddit.com/r/titcoin/    This subreddit name was taken in 2013, before Titcoin was originally created. Now the moderators seem to be inactive and I have managed to get access to it and open it for the general Titcoin community to discuss about Titcoin. 

The previous subreddit r/ShowMyTitCoin remains as a place where girls can ask for tips for arbitrary self-made pornography using Titcoin.

Mining

We have been added to this site which offers interesting mining pool stats for Titcoin: https://miningpoolstats.stream/titcoin Check it out!

Mining activity is still relatively low. Please remember that there will be a halving of the block reward during this summer once again, dropping from 4.3125 to 2.15625 coins, which makes Titcoin extremely hard to mine! This is, in a sense, a good thing because it makes the coins more rare and valuable. If you are planning to mine Titcoin, you should start as soon as possible.

Social Media

Our previous community member @DailyTitCoin on Twitter is inactive. If you would like to run a social media account for Titcoin, please get in contact!    There are people talking about Titcoin on Twitter almost every day, so it would be great to invite them to join us.

I am active on Discord again (https://discord.gg/PADaP7s) and have reshaped the Discord server to be more appealing for no-coiners who mainly come for the nudes and might be marginally interested in crypto. My goal is increasing the adoption of cryptocurrencies in the pornography scene, so I'm looking for ways to get new people interested in cryptocurrency stuff. If you have ideas that you would like to try out, feel free to join us and let's discuss! 

Hi guys,

I'm very happy to say that I got my Discord account back, so the Titcoin Discord is active and maintained again!    https://discord.gg/PADaP7s

We have a community member there who wants to buy 1M Titcoin, so if you want to sell that might be a great opportunity since Yobit is still in maintenance.

Regards, Gandalf86

The new website is online at https://titcoin.github.io/ now.

It is based on a native Github Pages theme, which makes it substantially easier to maintain and update than the previous version, which required a local CMS on my side. If you would like to make a suggestion or would like to see certain information being added, let me know! 

Hello everyone, here are the current news for Titcoin!  

• The block explorer is extended and fully operational.
• The hash rate is good but somewhat unsteady. If you decide to start mining Titcoin, please run it 24/7 and don't just mine for an hour.  
• Here is a nice double tit drop by our community member Eliza posted yesterday! If you like it, maybe drop her some Titcoins in return!  
• My roadmap for 2020 includes adding an automated Titcoin bot for Reddit that can be funded by users and rewards the highest voted post on our subreddit each day! This will scale well and will encourage community participation.
• I'm working on a new website that will be easier to maintain than the current one. It will be even more minimalistic and should only serve as a starting point for diving into the actual Titcoin communities like the one on Reddit. The benefit will be that it will be easier to keep up-to-date so it will always include the most recent information.

That's basically it, feel free to comment or make suggestions, every idea is welcome!  

Best regards, Gandalf86

Hello everyone,

the block explorer at https://www.blockexperts.com/tit needs a renewal once again. Before I pay the explorer, would anyone else here be interested in contributing to the block explorer? It has been a very reliable service and has many nice features a historical graph display of the difficulty and mining power.  

The current price is 0.0022 BTC per month. If you would like to fund the block explorer for a few months that would a great opportunity to contribute to Titcoin and help the project to thrive and survive.    If you would like to help, you can make a post here or directly pay the block explorer via the link in the yellow box on the explorer page.

Please check out our Reddit community at https://www.reddit.com/r/showmytitcoin/ and join our community chat room over there!

Best regards, Gandalf86

I'd like to say thanks to whoever is mining now! During the last few days we've had a continuous base network mining power of 150-200 gH/s, which helps the chain to run smoothly!   Obviously at this difficulty Titcoin is not suitable for real-world transactions but for tipping girls on https://www.reddit.com/r/showmytitcoin this is perfectly fine.  

There's also one change on the wiki page (https://www.reddit.com/r/showmytitcoin/wiki/index). I have declared Titcoin explicitly to be a toy currency for porn here. This is due to the fact that the difficulty is so low and we don't have any reliable crypto exchanges atm. So this helps newcomers to get the right intuition about Titcoin and not think it is trying to become the next Bitcoin (which would be a ridiculous claim anyways, obviously).

Also I think that taking things less seriously can actually increase the chance of adoption. People are most likely to adopt a cryptocurrency like Titcoin for fun, but if there is financial interest involved then many people will avoid it (due to being "shady" or whatever). Let me know what you think about this.  

ahh ok, ya i get what your saying   i noticed diff retarget is every block anyways so not like you have to worry about it getting left at a high diff by some asshat
ultimately, if people had those Sidehack miners, USB or Terminus, they would be great to have on tit, maybe thats what IS on it, 215gh/s network hash it looks like
i need to break out my old USB miners haha

Definitely a valid point, you are not the first one suggesting to move to a different algorithm. My view on this is that anyone who is mining can also mine a different coin which is more profitable, and trade the returns for SHA256 hashes on a mining rental site like Nicehash. So the algorithm ultimately doesn't matter! The network hash rate as such does not matter because it depends on the algorithm, the only thing matters is the amount of MONEY being spent on mining (regardless of whether it is in the form of electricity expenses at home, or rented hashes). That is analogous to how the price per unit of a coin does not matter because it depends on the supply, the only thing that is relevant is the total market capitalization.

So with the parameters of algorithm and network hashes being summarized as "mining costs", the remaining relevant parameters are:

• Number of people mining (so that not a single person has >50% of the power)
• Continuity of mining power, as opposed to jumping on and off the network (this balances itself out as the number of miners grows).

Expenses for buying mining equipment are one-time payments and therefore don't appear in this calculation, but then again, instead of buying mining equipment one can also simply rent very cheap hashes on various sites nowadays. In that sense, using SHA256 is actually beneficial because it is the most widespread algorithm due to Bitcoin.

In my view, mining is simply a different form of investing - you spend money/electricity and you get back coins - so for real profits you have to carefully select altcoins to invest in, whose value might rise in the future.

Does that make sense?  

Nice!   
If it's miners you are specifically looking for right now, have you considered switching to a more GPU friendly algo?
i'm sure many people could maybe throw a card or two at it, but who has a SHA256 machine close by anymore? we all moved to dc's and are stuck mining BTC 24/7 for a hope of a ROI someday
sorry if you mentioned by a reasoning why as to TIT has stayed SHA2d
