Mining Intro
Mining is essentially the process of using your computer to help verify and secure a cryptocurrency network, in our case, it is the TurtleCoin network. By doing this, you will be rewarded with some TurtleCoin.
If you want to learn about cryptocurrencies, mining is a great place to start!
Please note: Unfortunately because of some bad people using mining software in malware, most antivirus software will detect the programs below as unsafe.
It is likely you will need to add exceptions and exclusions to your antivirus software in order to make things work properly.
