Topic: BITCOIN - BITCOIN TESTNET ? (Read 962 times)
I founded a old wallet.dat with 20 BTC. But was on the testnet.
Also I think the testnet blockchain is periodically reset, unlike the normal blockchain which retains its entries. This usually happens when a new major version of Bitcoin Core is released. Technically it isn't really a reset since a new blockchain for test coins is created and the old test coins continue to exist on the old blockchain.

There have been three generations of testnet. Testnet2 was just the first testnet reset with a different genesis block, because people were starting to trade testnet coins for real money. Testnet3 is the current test network. It was introduced with the 0.7 release, introduced a third genesis block, a new rule to avoid the "difficulty was too high, is now too low, and transactions take too long to verify" problem, and contains blocks with edge-case transactions designed to test implementation compatibility.
i want to ask about bitcoin and bitcoin testnet.
is that different coin or the same coin ?
It's the same coin only a different blockchain. It's used primarily by developers for testing they're bitcoin API call's with coins that don't have any actual monetary value. Think of it as the monopoly version of the blockchain where you can try out new ideas and learn how to interact with the bitcoin blockchain without having to use real money.is that different coin or the same coin ?

Apart from using testnet to develop your programs and test the API, you can also use -regtest easily.

If you want to try out Testnet, use this site to get some Testnet Coins.

I'd say it's an interesting offer for developers and site owners.
