What is different?

What is TurtleCoin® v2?

v2 is the next generation of the the TurtleCoin® project. Out with the old and in with the new as they say. The v1 network served us well, but as time has passed we want to do more, and to do that best, we need a clean slate. By starting a new network from scratch, we are able to make much bigger improvements without worrying about being backwards compatible with previous history.

When will v2 be released?

We’re aiming for before block 4,000,000 of the v1 chain. The actual date is fuzzy at this time but as we get closer to a release date more information will be made available.

Specifications

PoW Algorithm: argon2/chukwav2
Max Supply: 1 Trillion coins @ 2 decimal places
Block Reward: ~ 29000 TRTL, slowly decreasing over about 40 years
Block Time: 30 seconds
Difficulty: Retargets at every block

Now that we know the details about TurtleCoin, let’s get to mining some TRTL!
