Indeed a large testnet blockchain has advantages too. But because it is the testnet and the testnet coins have no value, the blockchain could be 'spammed' after a reset for some days/weeks until it has a certain size. Could this be realistic solution ? Am 16.06.19 um 22:25 schrieb Peter Todd: >

Hello, I tried myself with some Bitcoin development. For this I used of course the Bitcoin testnet. However it took me one hour to sync the blockchain with around 1538358 blocks. In my opinion that is too much for a testnet. Especially the blockchain size with around 26GB is so much. Would it
