Did start to mine on the testnet with 1GH/s for fun. Will get very rich very quick! LOL

EDIT: I want to have the feeling of an early adopter back in good old times!  ;D

EDIT2: This must be the feeling if someone with large power jumps into the prodnet. New blocks every minute.

50 BTC was nothing in the early days.  ;D

my testnet (http://blockexplorer.com/testnet) addresses are:

Miner: mk7tvYgTup6qYmQ6gxkHjR4YsjX2Xopmxr (http://blockexplorer.com/testnet/address/mk7tvYgTup6qYmQ6gxkHjR4YsjX2Xopmxr) was wrong here, every of the 100 pre-generated addresses in the wallet receive a mined block reward of 50 BTC each in line. (look at first and second screenshot above, every block reward has it's own receiving address)
Miner: mqgnygCDNgn8oR2WEs9svLFLuyJBsXTJ96 (http://blockexplorer.com/testnet/address/mqgnygCDNgn8oR2WEs9svLFLuyJBsXTJ96) pre-generated with only one address in wallet.dat via Bitcoin.conf (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Running_bitcoind#Sample_Bitcoin.conf) (look at third screenshot above, every block reward has the same receiving address)

Client: n1j8KgGEmBpnhhGEdps7jjN8sjDfBg51YU (http://blockexplorer.com/testnet/address/n1j8KgGEmBpnhhGEdps7jjN8sjDfBg51YU) loaded via Testnet Faucet (http://testnet.freebitcoins.appspot.com/)
Client: micXLgEY47jHvCUvQEwSV5rH94fN9Aw4Lt (http://blockexplorer.com/testnet/address/micXLgEY47jHvCUvQEwSV5rH94fN9Aw4Lt) because of transfer only a part of the whole amount and then a new address will receive the rest
Client: mthA45kn6kbWnRjQ6QE3exUKaBobdyFjwD (http://blockexplorer.com/testnet/address/mthA45kn6kbWnRjQ6QE3exUKaBobdyFjwD) same here
Client: n1V1a433zna4Ru2u1Hnvr8LzKFaLu51aJf (http://blockexplorer.com/testnet/address/n1V1a433zna4Ru2u1Hnvr8LzKFaLu51aJf) take this address to transfer the whole amount from the miner to this address every time

Use testnet in a box for "early adopter" feeling.

Real testnet is for other kind of fun and by doing this you are making other people's tests longer.

You are free to participate if you want to have this feeling too! BTW what is your name? maybe God?

EDIT: there is also an other strong miner in testnet with address mtLDA41NWe9rLm7nuMvAnTs2SbP49cz1ZR (http://blockexplorer.com/testnet/address/mtLDA41NWe9rLm7nuMvAnTs2SbP49cz1ZR). are you this miner? was this your fear? because he dominates the testnet.

EDIT2: did transfer my testnet 6600.0015 BTC to my testnet client n1j8KgGEmBpnhhGEdps7jjN8sjDfBg51YU (http://blockexplorer.com/testnet/address/n1j8KgGEmBpnhhGEdps7jjN8sjDfBg51YU) with transaction bcd12b06cd93c7c161bfa1022a0a96f0d9cce6104598e2af5cb3011e7cdc627f (http://blockexplorer.com/testnet/tx/bcd12b06cd93c7c161bfa1022a0a96f0d9cce6104598e2af5cb3011e7cdc627f) which is included in block 0000000000083b3c7a0c67ebaf909845362bdcbf06ec9a2f0d6cbcafacf1aca5 (http://blockexplorer.com/testnet/block/0000000000083b3c7a0c67ebaf909845362bdcbf06ec9a2f0d6cbcafacf1aca5). used to many pre-generated addresses in my wallet.dat for the block reward which is not good for clear identification of the miner! will fix that!

enlightening findings: I decided to transfer testnet 1000 BTC from my testnet client address n1j8KgGEmBpnhhGEdps7jjN8sjDfBg51YU (http://blockexplorer.com/testnet/address/n1j8KgGEmBpnhhGEdps7jjN8sjDfBg51YU) to my miner address mk7tvYgTup6qYmQ6gxkHjR4YsjX2Xopmxr (http://blockexplorer.com/testnet/address/mk7tvYgTup6qYmQ6gxkHjR4YsjX2Xopmxr) and leave the other testnet 5600.0015 BTC on the client address but the amount is transferred away to address micXLgEY47jHvCUvQEwSV5rH94fN9Aw4Lt (http://blockexplorer.com/testnet/address/micXLgEY47jHvCUvQEwSV5rH94fN9Aw4Lt) which must be out from the pool of the 100 pre-generated addresses in my testnet client (see block 0000000003c831263b9dc342b0f727146b2a83dc31911a0666400c924c5a379e (http://blockexplorer.com/testnet/block/0000000003c831263b9dc342b0f727146b2a83dc31911a0666400c924c5a379e) and transaction c237a28c7f5648de5e585cd14d44c9f7385ad5377e150abfb4a1d8893ed72751 (http://blockexplorer.com/testnet/tx/c237a28c7f5648de5e585cd14d44c9f7385ad5377e150abfb4a1d8893ed72751).

I did the proof: I dumpprivkey the private key of n1j8KgGEmBpnhhGEdps7jjN8sjDfBg51YU deleted the wallet.dat after closing testnet client and importprivkey the private key of n1j8KgGEmBpnhhGEdps7jjN8sjDfBg51YU in the new generated wallet.dat after opening testnet client. the result is that my testnet 5600.0015 BTC are gone! be carefull with this fact on prodnet because the second address of my testnet client out from the pool of the pre-generated 100 addresses did not appear in the testnet client and my first thought was if I export the private key of n1j8KgGEmBpnhhGEdps7jjN8sjDfBg51YU I will be save. but this is not the fact!!  ::)

but I dumpprivkey also the private key of address micXLgEY47jHvCUvQEwSV5rH94fN9Aw4Lt (http://blockexplorer.com/testnet/address/micXLgEY47jHvCUvQEwSV5rH94fN9Aw4Lt) before I deleted the first wallet.dat and after the import of this private key in the new wallet.dat the amount of testnet 5600.0015 BTC appears!! puhh it was "only" testnet!!  ;)

EDIT: I'm give away testnet 1000 BTC which are sitting on address mk7tvYgTup6qYmQ6gxkHjR4YsjX2Xopmxr (http://blockexplorer.com/testnet/address/mk7tvYgTup6qYmQ6gxkHjR4YsjX2Xopmxr) and where the private key is cPFvmB2gVwbqNGpKAyBPv3qsEuZTL32uKrX6EmZNrtRqSRpurUmX
I'm so generous I know! HAHA

my new miner address on testnet is mqgnygCDNgn8oR2WEs9svLFLuyJBsXTJ96 (http://blockexplorer.com/testnet/address/mqgnygCDNgn8oR2WEs9svLFLuyJBsXTJ96)

EDIT: but the block reward of mined blocks does not appear at this address above in blockexplorer.com like it appears at this address here: mtLDA41NWe9rLm7nuMvAnTs2SbP49cz1ZR (http://blockexplorer.com/testnet/address/mtLDA41NWe9rLm7nuMvAnTs2SbP49cz1ZR)
and I don't know why at the moment!  ???

You're an asshole.

why?

Because it comes so natural, if I had to guess.

explain it a bit more, please!

Why raise the tesnet hashrate? WHY?!

Difficulty is still 54.355056 (Block 31403 (http://blockexplorer.com/testnet/block/00000000047252f892ff75a08dee3b721ace348f312593ed48bef2a47d078215))

testnet-in-a-box is available from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/testnet-in-a-box/ (https://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/testnet-in-a-box/)

Mining on it for fun just makes it harder for others to test for real.  Plus you get nothing for it so why do it?

Difficulty is still 54.355056 (Block 31523 (http://blockexplorer.com/testnet/block/0000000002adc94dc8fbbff2fb73f6ecee81c0cbd51e92c351f53984f1f89ad0))


I want to get a feeling how it was as a solominer before pools jumped in and figure out how to make the mining process more transparent for all.

Why not use test net in a box then? Same "feeling"...

need the blockexplorer.com for a while.

That feeling.

Wow, Difficulty is now 201.646153 (Block 32504 (http://blockexplorer.com/testnet/block/0000000000615404c41062deaf0e20dafaf9a36500676b62fe7b95adde6ca924))

But it wasn't me. He was it --> mtLDA41NWe9rLm7nuMvAnTs2SbP49cz1ZR (http://blockexplorer.com/testnet/address/mtLDA41NWe9rLm7nuMvAnTs2SbP49cz1ZR)

Someone testing ASICs?!

Good God.
