These are FreeBSD Port skeletons for several alternative crypto currencies (Altcoins) that are not officially part of the FreeBSD ports tree.  They are basically shell archives that you would download and extract to your ports/net-p2p folder. Then run "make install clean".  This should help some FreeBSD users out there.

All include options to build with or without the Qt wallet and some have the option for a static binary.  I've placed all the shell archives in a public GitHub repository:
https://github.com/tuaris/FreeBSD-Coin-Ports

Complete instructions on how to use these files can be found at:
http://www.unibia.com/unibianet/freebsd/freebsd-ports-many-alternative-crypto-currencies

The general procedure is (for example Terracoin):

Code:
fetch -o /tmp/terracoin.shar https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tuaris/FreeBSD-Coin-Ports/master/shars/terracoin.shar_.txt
cd /usr/ports/net-p2p/
sh /tmp/terracoin.shar
cd terracoin
make config
make install clean

If you find a problem with one, just open up an issue on GitHub.

It's possible some of these coins may eventually be submitted into the ports tree after they gain enough demand and popularity (ie. Zetacoin). If you found this work helpful and would like to show your thanks you may send

If anyone has any additional information on newer FreeBSD or other *BSD ports, I would be interested.
