I first heard of TurtleCoin through Kevin Rose new crypto podcast: Block Zero. Seems like a new interesting project that I could be a part of. Here is a short quick tutorial on how to get started on Mac.

Visit TurtleCoin website: https://turtlecoin.lol/

Download TurtleCoin on mac

2. Unzip the downloaded file, right click on TurtleCoind and press open

If you don’t right click and press open, you will get a message similar to this

3. The wallet should start syncing with blockchain, in your terminal, you should see something like this

Now wait…

4. When the blockchain syncing finish, you should see this

5. Right click and open simple wallet

If you see an error means that the blockchain syncing hasn’t finish or you have close the Turtlecoind window

6. Hit G to generate new wallet, give it a filename and password

Store your keys somewhere safe! (The longer key that starts with TRTL is your public key)

7. Go to https://faucet.trtl.me/ for some free shells

Send me some shells :)
