I don't understand how this is hard to understand in 2015. I guess nobody has used a coin's testnet. It's simply "fake" coins to play with for testing purposes. If you just want to play around with UNO but not spare your real coins, then you can test mine the testnet, send coins for testing without worry of losing your Unobtanium. If you don't want to play with test coins from the testnet blockchain, then do nothing with it.

Lol save the condescension. When someone releases a wallet for the masses, the only thing missing from making this 'fake' coin 'real', is being listed on any 'legit' exchange. What you said can be said about any coin, if you don't like it, don't look.

We can go into the whole debate on 'what is real' if you would like.

All Hag did was release another coin. It really has little to do with Uno aside from having the same stats and distro which sort of pulls away from the uniqueness of Uno.

Another perspective, playing devils advocate. What if for what ever reason Proto becomes worth more coin for coin than Uno. Is it any less 'real' now? It is not.

Is it cool to see how the chains will interact with each other? Sure. Could using one chain to back up the authenticity of another chain make all of this stuff that much more secure? I hope so. I really don't know what the possibilities are for Proto. I do have some ideas as to how it will impact Uno's valuation in the short term and none of them are really positive imho but i am a big boy and can cope with this stuff.

I certainly appreciate the work that people put forth and won't bitch any more about Proto.

Yes I'm not happy to. This prototype cloning chain must remain off the people hands it is for the DEVS only to build and experiment! Why to have option to downloaded Pr if I am not a dev. And don't exchanged it ever please-there is uno for that! If I discover Uno just now and want to invest this kind cloning things will turn me off. THERE is only one chain- the unobtanium. No cloning chains pease. Shut this thing down man and keep it as 'training , experimenting' in the future. Just my direct opinion.

Its not another coin; last time I'm going to say it. Its a client that accesses the Un testnet without needing any command line switches and lets you send coins from one network to the other. I thought my original post was quite clear about this... It lets people re-mine Un if they want to--its not a secret, its not a hidden 'dev' only network; its been in the clients for a long time, but nearly no one has utilized it. I suppose you can argue that there's no real reason to access it and use it; but then I'd argue that there's no real reason to use ANY coins--they are all a choice thing.

Why didn't people use testnets very often? Because testnet is a hassle to use in many coins. But why would you want to? Because the coins are identical, the mining is the same (for proven coins that can mean another round of mining with exceptional properties), and because, why not? Its in there--so go for it! If you think about it--some services simply don't support testnet connections, and the difficulty of using testnet at times can be a way for one or two miners to quietly mine the entire network for themselves. I don't know if testnet coins will ever come in to fashion--but why should anyone care if want to mine them and make it easy for others to do the same?

If you don't like it, ignore it. If you want to use it, download and use it. It doesn't detract from Un because it doesn't take anything away from Un. I don't expect it to make it to an exchange anyway, its simply a "thing" you can do that's Un related, giving some easy mining and the ability for those of us who don't have a huge chunk of the Un coinbase to relive the hey-day of mining a coin we genuinely care about in a new fashion.

This is my last blurb about it, I'm not here to try and defend something that thought you'd all get a kick out of. I'm sorry it seems I'm trying to throw oil in the water, I'm really not.

It really isn't your fault blazr, you can't explain magical properties to people that don't grasp magic.

The way you strengthen blockchains and keep them secure (and therefore valuable) is having things like these.

It is a testnet blockchain identical as un ,but is from Un and have no value for now...only look like independent bloc chain coin ,but is not -just have wallet purple ...the pink wallet is testnet to ,but something diferente.... come-on guys are you kidding me -it is SO CONFUSING ! Get ready new people going to ask non stop questions about this

and Siameze my friend I am non tech guy ,but in my life I love the magic the most!
