What the hell is this coin, I am intrigued 

haha, piece brother ...
mining turtles for about a week now with one of my older cards, so far so good ...

Turtle turtle, dot dot
I got my cooties shot
I think that TRTLs hot
I'll give it booty shots
That TRTLs so hot make it drop
Do the drop drop, do the drop drop, do the make it drop
To the floor, let's get raw
Okay, gimme some more

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_and_short_scales

In the UK, the traditional Billion is 1 Million Millions, and a Trillion is 1 Million Billions.  Generally we have fully transitioned to the simpler American version and not the traditional roman version nowadays, but they are marked when referencing material from the 70/80's which use the old scales.

So, sadly, there are differences and that is a FACT.  Although those are very rare to see nowadays, and you would certainly not expect to see it in any newer technology such as a crypto currency.

no need : D

btw, the community is really active and fun as hell. Love it <3

Ummmmmm  NO.....

Numerical scales are in fact UNIVERSAL....

I don't know what planet you went to school on, but here on Earth....

1 million is always 1,000,000 or 1.000.000
1 billion is always 1,000,000,000 or 1.000.000.000
1 trillion is always 1,000,000,000,000 or 1.000.000.000.000

Some places use a .(period) instead of a ,(comma) but ALL places use the same number of 0(zeros)

But hey.... If you can get a bank to give you 1billion(1,000,000,000,000) instead of 1billion (1,000,000,000) let me know, I'm sure I can rally enough investors to get in on that gold mine.

I think if you reduced it below 1TN, it just wouldn't be viable.  It's already far less than most other coins.

Turtlecoin github is just so active if you check: https://github.com/turtlecoin/turtlecoin

Updates are applied constantly
The only problem i think with TRTL coin is the supply, 1 Trillion is just too much imo.

If we were to reduce the total supply, a hard fork would be needed?

That is a good point, I will flag that for the Coin Elders.

I believe that turtles are a very good and promising project. People really work on it and develop it.
But there is a request to the organizers. More lay out the news here about your updates and innovations. Your medium here post, that people would see how active you are.

I'm not sure it's that backwards, the number of atomic units is, ultimately ALL that counts in supply terms.

Also, i'm not sure you can compare to other coins, because of the obscene network fees you are right, you don't see people sending small amounts.  But that is a structural fault in the coin network.  If the value rises too much, then it fails to be useful for any kind of real currency ("Hey, how much for the coffee, 0.0001 BTC, but you have to pay a $7 charge").  This makes them useful for other things, but prohibitive for small, or by side effect, fast transfers.

But ultimately, unless I misunderstood your post, your statements about fractions of the more valuable coins pretty much validates the reason for a deliberately smaller value coin with less precision.  And with the network fee being less than 1 satoshi currently, it is completely inconsequential how many or how much is sent.

1 trillion lmao. I see the logic behind the decimals but that's a backwards ass way of thinking lol. The coin has a trillion coins. Period. You can move the decimal around all you want, but that's doesn't change anything.

The logic behind the small "0.01" is the dumbest thing I've ever seen.

Yes, I understand the math is technically correct (and yea theoretically it has a smaller supply), but all of this is assuming the valuation of the coins would even reach such a low decimal value (which **spoilers** they never will). You never see people sending .00000001 bitcoin (heck the tx fee of bitcoin is ~135 satoshi/byte) or .00000002 ETH to each other so that makes your comparison worthless.

The .01 decimal nonsense is stupid since the coin is valued in terms of satoshis which is an even higher -E^N multiplier. When was the last time any of you used/sent BTC past a few decimal points without losing half of your sending amount lol. And that's bitcoin which has the highest USD value. It's even worse with other coins. Most people don't use anything past a couple decimal points which like a mentioned earlier. Makes the comparison useless.

Look at the valuation in dollar/BTC of those coins you listed and you will see how stupid of a comparison it is.

People will glace and see a trillion and not even bother with it. Not to mention the name is supper trolly which will turn off half the people.

don't think there's one yet. if you have it in your gui wallet, gotta check your wallet.

yeah, cool little coin!
check out their discord
awesome community! 

do anyone use this coin?

That feels like a pretty fair analysis to me.

Found this coin analysis today

TL;DR: It doesn’t get any more community-driven than this.

Hi any way to check balance online ?

I'm afraid numerical scales are not unversal.
For my understanding as I learned at school:
1,000,000 = 1 million
1,000,000,000,000 = 1 billion (or a million of millions)
1,000,000,000,000,000,000 = 1 trillion (or a million of -previous- billions)
... and so on.

so, I think we better state numbers instead of words :-)

Cheers,
