History

Titcoin was founded by Edward Mansfield, Richard Allen, and a third anonymous individual.[6] The founders developed Titcoin for the adult entertainment industry as a cash alternative payment system for performing anonymous transactions.[7][8]

On June 21, 2014, the Titcoin cryptocurrency wallet and source code was released with an initial soft launch for the cryptocurrency community followed by a hard launch for the public.[9]

In September 2014, Patrick McDonnell[10] joined the Titcoin development team as a business development advisor.[11][12]

On May 29, 2017, Titcoin and its properties were acquired by the adult game development studio Joy-Toilet.[13]
