I've been trying to understand what he's doing and what hes trying to prove for 2 weeks
Discussion
i say, let everyone try out stupid ideas on testnet, that's what it's for
though i don't quite get his mentality either, since some time back... what was the thing that made me wonder? he's from casahodl right?
yes, he is shitcoining😂
Testnet is one of the oldest shitcoins in existence!
I'm really interested to see how you did it 😂 personally I'm not educated on testnet semantics and the proposed improvents to testnet4 etc so probably shouldn't have made the shitcoiner comment when I don't understand the situation. my apologies. would like to read your posts about the topic before forming a proper opinion :)
I believe it’s because people started testing runes on testnet, then started selling testnet runes and testnet-Bitcoin. So attacking the chain was a fairly effective but coarse way to stop that.
A testnet reset is being discussed on the mailing list (testnet4) but a reset has not happened for ages so opinions are mixed so there’s not currently consensus on what exactly to do
interestinggg, thank you very much for the context sir🫡
There is also signet, which is a different testnet that works more like Liquid where blocks aren’t mined by hashing, instead they’re just signed by a set of known keys. Mutinynet is another signet.
Arguably signet is better for testing Lightning as the blocks are more predictable and shenanigans like Lopp’s attack can’t happen - testnet is useful for testing anything that needs the chain to behave more like actual Bitcoin (mining software, ASICs, reorgs etc)
was actually trying to check the difference the other day😂, really appreciate the explanations mate 💯
