Three proposed changes to simulate testnet to what the Future for Bitcoin will look like.

  • Fixed Difficulty/Fast Adjusted Difficulty as in the future I do not suspect difficulty to change too much. e.g. controlled environment.
  • No BTC generated per block like in the future, block are mined purely for quickly confirming/verifying transactions.
  • 21 Million testnet BTC generated in Genesis Block, emulating the future of circulation, transfer to faucet.

This will make testing much faster,
one can fire up miner, point to testnet,
request coins from faucet, proceed to test,
send coins back, shut off miner.
