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 firmly think Theymos was right with his post right under Satoshi's.  Furthermore, I think what Theymos said has played out in reality.

I think listing a new version "everytime" it is traded will result in a clusterfuck for the "good users".  Look at https://blockstream.info/testnet/ for example... which version is that?  (Even I got confused earlier, and still maybe confused now. lol)

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.  Any wiggle room here, or is this just going to be a problem periodically?
