OK folks, we have a working testnet finally, That will allow us to more thoroughly test updates ahead of time, but we will need the help of the community. If you are able to fire up a wallet on testnet get addresses to us and we will throw some coins your way. We need stakers, masternodes, people mixing, etc. to fully test things.

You can run the testnet along side your primary wallet, they will not conflict with each other. There is no need to specify a data directory, it will create a subfolder in the default data directory and the chain, wallet, etc. will be there. The only shared file will be the darknet.conf.
