Titcoin (Ticker Symbol: TIT) is a cryptocurrency launched in 2014.[2] Titcoin's blockchain is derived from the Bitcoin source code, with modifications to improve transaction speed and efficiency.[3] Titcoin is intended for the adult entertainment industry to allow users to pay for adult products and services without the fear of incriminating payment histories appearing on their credit cards.[4]
In 2015, Titcoin received two nominations at the 2015 XBIZ Awards.[5]
