Sorry to bump, but was anything ever 'officially' decided about this? We would very much like to refer to testnet coin as something other than "BTC" in our wallet. BT3 seems like a good choice.

I thought when they reset testnet, the coins were no longer valid?  There's more than 1 active testnet?

& the coins should not have any value whatsoever.  This is why they keep resetting it.

Well, I liked CRC, and my previous suggestion was BTC0 (for "zero" value) but BT3 makes sense, since there may well be a BT4, especially if BT3 gains value.

I propose that the Bitcoin testnet abbreviation be "BT3" or "Bitcoin Testnet Three". The reason is that the current Testnet version is version 3, which will help identifying it from older testnets and in the case that testnet is reset to version 4. (Version 3 would continue to exist however).
