That's ok.  No worries.


I acknowledge it and reject it.  I firmly think Theymosit was right with his post right under Satoshi'sa huge mistake for years.  Furthermore, I think what Theymos said has played out in reality.

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

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

Any complaints?

I think it's a pretty beastly faucet.   Might even be qualified as a sprinkler system.
