Best way to monopolize time travel?

Let's suppose, for the sake of argument, that I've discovered time travel. What would be effective ways to prevent others from gaining or using the technology? Let's face it, the first one to accomplish time travel is going to want to be the only one doing it.

That's really easy. Give it to the government. :LOL:

 
Over complication works very well. A system so challenging that only you could make use of it. If we're talking theory over physical machine, code your work, keep it off grid and buy a very good safe.

 
Not telling a single soul about it would work. You'd also have to make sure nobody witnesses your travels on both ends and you definitely wouldn't want to post about it on a forum.

Is that a confession? Did you discover how to time travel? How dare you hold back from is, Martian! Do tell. :X3:

Ok, since you asked nicely, I'll tell you. But it's super duper secret, so don't tell anyone! :D It requires a flux capacitor wired into a Volkswagen traveling at 87.999 mph. I'm hoping to upgrade to a portable toilet time machine someday though, as all the cool time travelers have them. :p

Be sure to position your microsingularity properly on the seat. :LOL:
