TurtleCoin Release Notes: https://github.com/turtlecoin/turtlecoin/releases/latest
Added as algorithm:
cryptonight_turtle
Note: Auto-switching is not possible with this PR as TurtleCoin uses a parent/root block header that results in the pools (and thus the miners) always seeing the block MajorVersion as 1 (unless it's updated as part of a fork). We don't currently do this and have no immediate plans to do so; however, please see PR #2177 which adds support for using a MajorBlock version supplied by a pool with support to do so.
Addresses #2159 & #2174
Dero Gold is already using the algorithm, you can test the build against one of their pools
