Since the community is always eager for new information, I just wanted to post an example of a common email that we regularly receive. This one I received this morning and responded a few hours ago. Enjoy!
Hi Robert,
Thanks for getting in touch with us. I'm one of the co-creators of Titcoin, and I'd be more than happy to answer any of your questions.
For starters, although we created Titcoin, it's an open-source currency that we no longer manage nor own because of its decentralized characteristics. But that's precisely the beauty of Titcoin as an adult currency because there's no way to regulate its usage which means any adult business can use it without restrictions.
As you can imagine, business adoption has been very slow because of the overall reluctance to experiment with cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Titcoin. We're still looking for a major adult business to serve as our flagship partner but you can see a list of existing businesses and entertainers who accept Titcoin payments/donations at:
http://www.titcoins.biz/partners/You also asked about an affiliate program. Titcoin itself doesn't have an affiliate mechanism due to it's anonymous and decentralized nature. However, 3rd party payment processors and clearing houses do have referral programs that you could take advantage of.
What we've been recommending to adult businesses (especially to those that already accept Bitcoin) is to utilize a multi-currency payment processor that accepts Titcoin and several dozen other cryptocurrencies. This way you're covering your bases with non-Bitcoin users and increasing your audience of potential customers. Here's a Slideshare document I created recently which explains this benefit:
http://www.slideshare.net/EdwardMansfield2/altcoin-payment-processingThe mechanics for setting this up is pretty simple and the checkout process almost works exactly like PayPal which I assume you're already familiar with. We've created several step-by-step tutorials for getting started:
1) Creating a Titcoin account (via Cryptsy)
http://www.titcoins.biz/faq-contact-us/titcoin-guide-how-do-you-create-an-online-titcoin-wallet/2) Accepting Titcoin payments (via CoinPayments)
http://www.titcoins.biz/faq-contact-us/titcoin-guide-how-do-you-accept-titcoin-payments-using-coinpayments/Note: Both of the services above have referral programs that allow you to earn additional revenue.
In addition, we do offer a one-time commission to businesses and partners on a case-by-case basis. This would essentially entail a large lump sum payment of Titcoins as a Thank You for joining our partnership. Since the total number of Titcoins is a fixed quantity, you can consider yourself a percentage shareholder in the future success of Titcoin.
Please let me know if this is something you're still interested in. I'd love to chat with you further.
Talk soon.

We have an adult oriented website that has a pretty good following of
adult sex workers, and we think Titcoin could be good for us and our
customers considering we just lost our Visa/MasterCard processing
abilities. Since the Visa/MC embargo on certain adults sites is a
nationwide trend, we think this is a potential benefit for Titcoin as
an alternative payment solution. Is Titcoin currently out there and
being used presently by any prominent adult industry websites. Seems
that level of endorsement would be necessary to set the trend, assist
it's adoption by instilling confidence in the adult community and its
customers. If so what companies or websites, if you don't mind me
asking. Is there a referral program or an affiliate program in place
to possibly incentivize adult websites, adult models, porn stars, sex
workers, and their customers... into accepting and promoting Titcoin?
Since we deal mainly with escorts and their customers, there are
plenty of Mavens and Yentas who would gladly make this go viral if
Titcoin is ready to go.
