I can't figure out what you're saying here.

That's ok. No worries.

Huh? You just acknowledged up thread that asking people to not trade testnet coins for value goes all the way back to Satoshi. It's not new, nor is resetting the chain used in the node software for testnet when people do a new thing-- though it went a long time without being needed.

I acknowledge it and reject it. I think it was a huge mistake for years.

I think listing a new version "everytime" it is traded or whatever will result in a clusterfuck for the "good users". Look at https://blockstream.info/testnet/blocks/recent for example... which version is that? (Even I got confused earlier, and still maybe confused now. lol) Even https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Testnet is wrong, and it's community-edited. That's wild tbh.

Imagine doing that weekly... it's not feasible. It'll piss folks off and also, it will drive up the trading... which seems to be what you don't want.

I wish your goals were more realistic and I could fall in line, but they just aren't presently. Any wiggle room here(?), or is this just going to be a problem periodically?

It does feel as if the tree is slowly bending. Which is what I strongly think is best and most natural for Bitcoin. It shouldn't be anyone's "decision" on what a market demands; that is a market thing.

When tn3 was created it was proposed by some to just reset the chain accepted by the software every major version. I think discussion on that just landed on that the project could switch to doing that later if problems continued. For a decade the problems didn't continue. Now that they are back I suspect the project will end up doing something like that.

I don't think this is going to work out like you think, but it is testnet, fuck it, let it ride.

I like this. Full POW and the hot potatoes pass version to version. I do worry about how fast people will update, but that will work itself out.

Steady, achievable, "semi-random". I can see this "working". (bid = None and ask = 0.00000001). I can't see this working if Testnet then became paired with Dogecoin, but at what point does it matter? It's a deep hole to zero in crypto and the shit people do with it. I admittedly would rather not fuck around past a Satoshi, unless absolutely pressed.

I've got to ask, have you been toying with my site the past few days? https://mempool.space/testnet/address/mp6iXwDfTmFLsa16SuapcFCCSm1pTcXfFZ Grin

There aren't to many other 2012 Testnet miners I've been bullshitting with.

Any complaints?

I think it's a pretty beastly faucet. Cool

Might even be qualified as a sprinkler system. Grin
