Topic: Titan Mint Coins- Serious Issue- ***NEW UPDATES*** - page 29. (Read 13445 times)

IMO if you own a non-2FA Titan you should peel it sooner than later immediately.  It's been over an entire year with no response, and all we can do is speculate at this point, so it would be wiser to speculate a potential scam and peel rather than be sorry down the road.  One of our fellow collectors is a lawyer and have spoken to them a bit about how to approach all this.  What's even more disturbing at this point, and should be a valuable lesson to all of us, is to read the shit out of a coin makers terms of service/use.  I should know better too, as some of the companies I've done scam write ups about before did the same thing Titan did, and wrote in verbiage that basically states after you buy the coin, if anything goes wrong, or if you plan on the website always being up to redeem the 2FA coins, sorry but fuck you Titan takes absolutely zero responsibility and could shut down services or change them at any time.  - https://www.titanbtc.com/terms-of-use/   The fact that the terms were written up like this shows this dudes character.  If you create a 2FA coin then you better keep up with the website and have a succession plan if you become incapacitated or die.  This is alone is enough to show why these coins should never have a 2FA characteristic like this.  

I do not have anything to lose here, as I have never owned any of these 2FAs, but I'm going to do what I can to try and contact this guy and or figure out how to go about helping out/ obtaining legal council for the group.  I will post updates here.  Please come forward if you own any of these either in this thread or privately via DM if you care about getting your money back. I really hope no one is willing to let this slide..if you own any of these and don't want anyone knowing, maybe there is someone else you trust who could come forward on your behalf or something? Tim needs to be held accountable and working together is the best route to trying to solve all this.  Also I'm sure obtaining a lawyer won't be cheap, so the more people there are, the better that will be for everyone of course (If that's even the best way to approach this).

Do we have any idea at all how many were sold?  I know that he refused to release final mintages\addresses..which also is another red flag.

So please chime in if you can help, if you have any ideas, if you're a lawyer and can provide some assistance etc.  These may not be that big of a deal to some of the millionaires here who collect, but they certainly are for plenty of other people so please keep that in mind here.  The more who come forward the better it will be for everyone.  ( I'm sure a decent amount sold to hands who will never see this post..I'm hopeful we can get this fixed so when they go to redeem down the road to buy a car, or put a house payment down or whatever, that they'll be able so.  SMH.


I didn't realize he had a profile here... a neg left Jan 2019, and even one back in 2015.  Has anyone here, or know of anyone who's successfully redeemed a 2FA ever?

I think what a lot of people are saying is that Titan/Tim can't be trusted any longer.  First off, just look how they've handled this situation (and lack of handling for well over a year now).  Not very professional if you ask me.  Secondly, I've never said Tim/Titan are scammers, just that I would not trust their coins any further.  You've got 7 posts, so I'm not sure how familiar you are with this hobby (or if you're simply using an Alt) but when a coin maker shows major signs of trust issues, it's a big fat red flag that you probably shouldn't trust them...for me it comes down to would I rather sleep better at night knowing my coins are safe on a Trezor or paper wallet, or trust someone who's shown signs of being quite shady.  Simple as that.  I certainly hope this all gets resolved, Tim/Titan regain legitimacy etc, but personally I will never trust their coins going forward, but that's just me.  It's fine if other people want to take on that risk. This hobby in general is risky, and if  you post about these collectibles on say Reddit you will get blasted as we are a small sub-group who even entertains these collectibles at all.  Just the truth.

Not to nitpick, but how does one prove they’re ‘not’ a scammer? You can’t really prove you’re not anything. One can only prove they are something. Has Tim done anything to definitively prove they’ve scammed anyone? I understand the frustration of people holding 2fa coins that they have trouble redeeming but that in itself doesn’t by default make the person a scammer. Maybe lazy with website/database upkeep sure and poor customer service but that’s a far cry from being fraudulent.

This thread has gotten a little out of hand with people now rushing to peel and destroy their PK Titans just because the 2fA redemption system needs addressing.  

Tim has yet to prove that he isn't a fraudster. Very surprised this thread isn't littered with apologies from him, and a much clearer plan for addressing the concern. Not a good sign.

More issues, smh. Sorry you’re having to deal with this. Just curious, how’d you find out about this thread?

Hopefully Titan will be back in contact here soon to make sure they get everyone’s issues resolved.

Newbie here, but I was wondering if anyone has had any issues with registration of the Titan 2013 2fa bitcoin.  I purchased two (2) of these at the end of 2013.   I have been trying to register the coins for funding by Titan.  However when I enter the email confirmation code and then the delivery confirmation code (which are 100% correct from the paperwork I received from titan) the website states that the confirmation codes don’t match.  I have left numerous messages for Tim Fillmore via phone, text, along with emails to [email protected].  No response.  Anyone else having these issues.

We test a few dummy coins whenever we have to cycle the servers and the last tests worked. 

If particular coins are working and others are not then its a database issue and that's what we're trying to track down now.

The site may be down entirely for a few minutes at a time this week while we do some deeper maintenance efforts but if we run into a scenario where its going to be down for longer than an hour or so, I'll reroute traffic to a cloned version of the servers via DNS to keep some version live for checking coins.

I didn't know the website was not processing redemption requests until yesterday, and I'm not sure why it is failing yet.  We did do server maintenance a few weeks ago and verified things were working at that time.

Dev team is on the case, but I won't have an ETA on the fix until we know what is happening.

I'll update here when there's news on the site being back to full functionality.
