Topic: [ANN] [TRTL] TurtleCoin - Cowabunga Dudes! - page 23. (Read 44512 times)

I like the name of this coin, so I'm with you 

hi, i need download block

so, what happened, what's with this ?

I tried reconnecting to us.turtlepool.space about 30 minutes ago and things seem back to normal.

I never tried connecting to trtl.mine2gether.com because the ping time was too long from my location in the US (~124ms) but it sounds like it had similar problems as well.


UPDATE - 2.5 hours later I am still seeing the occasional disconnect warning from xmr-stak, but unlike yesterday the automatic attempt at reconnection is successful. So, might be a server load or DDoS issue.

how many TRTL you lost ?

Back up.  My miners stopped being able to connect at 2am last night UTC, but seems everything is ok again now.

Up for me?

Is there an issue on the blockchain?  Last " synchronized ok " message I got was at 13:40 yesterday UTC time.

Since then a lot of "Transaction uses spent key image" messages which does not look good.

trtl.mine2gether.com is down.

answer dev??

This page isn’t working

trtl.mine2gether.com didn’t send any data.

Looks like the US server, at least, is down at turtlepool.space. Or is it just me?

Dev,

Dev

i install on ubuntu 16

./TurtleCoind
Illegal instruction (core dumped)

Could be good. Idle. It's a clone from bytecoin with little changes. There's only one thing it really has going for it and that's low tx fees and speed. Once it becomes popular and clogged like ethereum. It's gg. Then it becomes one of the other cloned alts out there.

I guess the other thing it has going for it are the jokes.... but can jokes really make it hot enough to moon?

LOL,I guess he'll be pleasantly surprised. After all, he wrote a turtle song.

Good project , i mining the turtle with my 6 GTX1070 

We could send you to concerts with a nice t-shirt representing the TurtleCoin logo and you could shout out some nice rhymes accompanied by some tight beatzZ 

I really like this coin...especially the long-term perspective of the idea behind the coin.
Cheers.

I grew up in the UK in the 1970s and 1980s, and I can confirm that this is correct.  A billion is a million million, A trillion is a million billion, and so on.  In fact, although the US nomenclature has become widely adopted in the ENGLISH speaking world, in fact in the non-English speaking world, it is more like the 1 billion = 1 million million, etc.

Consider German:

What US speakers of English call 1 TRILLION is called "eine Billion" which is what it is in UK English, 1 Billion.  

Spanish:

I Trillion (US) is "una billón"

Italian:

1 Trillion (US) is "un bilione"

French:

1 Trillion (US) is "un billion"

Dutch:

1 Trillion (US) is "biljoen"

Swedish:

1 Trillion (US) is "biljon"

Polish:

1 Trillion (US) is "bilion"

Czech:

1 Trillion (US) is "bilión"

There are a few exceptions (Polish, Russion, maybe Turkish) but in general throughout the world the word "billion" and its cognates refers to 10¹² not 10⁹.

Here is what the Oxford English Dictionary has to say on this:

---

billion

(ˈbɪljən)

[a. F. billion, purposely formed in 16th c. to denote the second power of a MILLION (by substituting BI- prefix² for the initial letters), trillion and quadrillion being similarly formed to denote its 3rd and 4th powers. The name appears not to have been adopted in Eng. before the end of the 17th c.: see quot. from Locke. Subsequently the application of the word was changed by French arithmeticians, figures being divided in numeration into groups of threes, instead of sixes, so that F. billion, trillion, denoted not the second and third powers of a million, but a thousand millions and a thousand thousand millions. In the 19th century, the U.S. adopted the French convention, but Britain retained the original and etymological use (to which France reverted in 1948).
   Since 1951 the U.S. value, a thousand millions, has been increasingly used in Britain, especially in technical writing and, more recently, in journalism; but the older sense ‘a million millions’ is still common.]

1.1 orig. and still commonly in Great Britain: A million millions. (= U.S. trillion.)

2.2 In U.S., and increasingly in Britain: A thousand millions.

So although it is tempting to blame the Americans, it is actually the French who are to blame for all this confusion.
