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.

if you have an (idiot proved) mac guide for this
i consider Wink

You just start the wallet with the --testnet flag. So, for the qt, ./darknet-qt --testnet

Edit: There may be a slightly different syntax for starting programs on Mac than Linux, let me yell to s3v3n, he is the Mac guy.

tx for the "yell" at s3v3n
as well how do i run 2nd wallet on 1 computer (1 testnet - 1 real)

Yeah, so it is really that simple. Open a terminal, cd to the directory where your binary is and enter "darknet-qt --testnet". It will automatically create a subdirectory in your data directory for the testnet stuffs. You will need some addnodes in the darknet.conf, the testnet and mainnet share the same darknet.conf. The 2 wallets will have no problems running at the same time as they use different ports.

Right now these are the current addnodes for testnet:
addnode=173.245.158.8:51474
addnode=68.108.10.35:51474
addnode=2qvm3datgwvjz2h5.onion:51474
addnode=5jdzosvcuxj6yfgc.onion:51474
addnode=pzgvmwwve2l7763v.onion:51474

Yes, we have some tor testnet wallets running already, more on tor than clearnet.

As more folks start running testnet wallets please share the ips and we will keep an updated list. I will add some hardcoded nodes to testnet in a future release.

so the recent version is 2.1.3?
the payment information page shows: client version: 2010204, this is a bit confusing!

should we remove the 3 lines (nodes, bantime) from conf file with this update?

I'm trying to run a wallet on testnet on my staking pc. added the lines above to my darknet.conf and starting the wallet with "darknet-qt --testnet"
the wallet is stuck at "synchronizing sporks, synchronizing additional data 25%"
waiting for hrs now still at 25%, and only have 1 connection on testnet wallet, restart the testnet wallet does not help, any ideas?
