All payouts are for testing purposes only.
i don't understand about this section in faucet site, can anyone explain ?
Sure, in crypto-currencies you usually differentiate between a mainnet and a testnet.
Testnet (test network):
The blockchain is maintained for testing purposes only and consists of only a handful of nodes. The use-cases for a testnet are:
- to check if everything is working fine.
- to let our users take a look at new features.
- to let our ICO participants see that we have enough knowledge to run, maintain and enhance Lisk.
We can reset the testnet at any point, because we are the only ones who are securing it.
Mainnet (main network):
This will be the real blockchain and network after the ICO. Here all LISK have a real value and many different persons are securing the network. At this point nobody can turn it off.
You are welcome. Yes, the real blockchain will be deployed after the ICO.
