6 | The Story | Last updated: 15th Jan 2019 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
7 | How it started: | One chilly December night, RockSteady and Bebop were having a beer too many while discussing the madness around fake, flimsy ICOs with no product. Bebop surmised that it just wouldn't be possible to put out a real project nowadays without a serious team, doing serious marketing, and bringing in serious funding. RockSteady leaned in closely, stroked his beard intently, and had only one response.. "Hold my beer." | Just a perfect story. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
8 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9 | Vision | To build an open-source, decentralised, distributed, entrepreneurial and fair TRTL Network where TurtleCoin is just its first application and $TRTL its currency. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

14 | Type of growth: | Community-driven; built just like Bitcoin, but with a new wave of nerds and adopters; carries similarities to early days of Dogecoin - but is by account of many early Doge adopters even better. | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdLRMduj4Mc&feature=youtu.be | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

68 | Turtle values | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
69 | - Slow & steady | Slow and steady (hard but gradual work) every day wins the race. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
70 | - Inclusive community | Core devs are always available to answer questions and discuss. Everyone is accessible, welcoming and helps the new guys first! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
71 | - Education | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
72 | - Build sth. of value | Modifing the algorithm, building projects, helping adoption... - do something that adds value. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
73 | - Transparency | Everything is openly discussed on Discord and open-source developed on GitHub; no private messages between members - many have them disabled completely + Regular weekly Developers updates by blogs and interviews. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
74 | - Fairness | Fair launch; 1 node 1 vote vision; can redeem yourself from Exile (don't want to get there!) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
75 | - Learn from mistakes | "We don't need to be first - but let's at least not repeat mistakes others have made before us." | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
76 | - Contribution | "Everyone is welcome to contribute to the ecosystem, regardless of skills or knowledge (or lack thereof), and we are ready to help people do so." | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
77 | - Entrepreneurship | Build an app, payment service or any kind of honest business on top of TRTL Netwok. We'll give you support you need. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
78 | - Decentralised & distributed | One of the TurtleCoin's core values to be as decentralised and fairly distributed as possible. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
79 | - Privacy | What good is a privacy if it's not integrated at the core protocol layer? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
80 | - Fun | What sense does it make for the community to show up every day they don't have fun? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
81 | - Speed | The most precious resource in this universe is time, let's not waste it. Although you can. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
82 | - No market talk! (in Discord) | No offence, but we aren't here for traders and rent-seekers who don't add value. Moon-talk another coin. We're here for nerds and our users. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
83 | Support the fork! | Contrarian to other projects, TurtleCoin community belives that supporting forks from us is a good thing. It already has started and likely will continue paying technological contributions back upstream while also groiwing the community of developers and contributors familiar with TurtleCoin codebase and values. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
