Title: [TESTNET BITCOIN: BT3] Mining Pool Setup! 0% FEE! Testnet Bitcoins! Post by: crazy_rabbit on June 16, 2013, 02:19:57 PM I have setup a P2Pool mining pool for Testnet Bitcoins (BT3).
It's p2pool and I am currently not taking a fee. To mine: ADDRESS: 84.200.2.8:4000 Username: Your bitcoin *TESTNET* address Password: Any password You can check out the stats here: http://84.200.2.8:4000/static/ Title: Re: [TESTNET BITCOIN: BT3] Mining Pool Setup! 0% FEE! Testnet Bitcoins! Post by: crazy_rabbit on June 16, 2013, 05:47:23 PM Stopped mining, pointless and less you can sell them. Well that's not a very community oriented perspective- making a quick buck and all, but as you wish. The pool will be here if you choose to come back.

They rolled back testnet several times already because people started valuating testnet coins! Title: Re: [TESTNET BITCOIN: BT3] Mining Pool Setup! 0% FEE! Testnet Bitcoins! Post by: crazy_rabbit on June 16, 2013, 06:02:12 PM This thread tells you so much of why this community is so fucked up. They rolled back testnet several times already because people started valuating testnet coins! I happen to think testnet coins do need value if we are going to effectively test non-standard transactions. Part of my thinking is here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=235077.msg2490580#msg2490580 However, I assume that the people who value testnet coins also value bitcoin for more then just a quick buck.

Call for rejection of the patch by the public?
So even if you were right (which I doubt) you lack any authority on that matter. Title: Re: [TESTNET BITCOIN: BT3] Mining Pool Setup! 0% FEE! Testnet Bitcoins!

Call for rejection of the patch by the public? So even if you were right (which I doubt) you lack any authority on that matter. Actually I haven't heard from the core developers and I'm still in the process of trying to convince them. That said, if they issue a rollback, then they issue a rollback. It boggles my mind however that no one debates the premise of the idea: that we don't have a strong environment to test non-standard transactions.

Post by: crazy_rabbit on June 17, 2013, 11:23:27 AM The Difficulty for testnet is currently at 4 and miners on the pool aren't mining with very powerful hardware, but really minting the coins!

Still, thats pretty low if you want to mine some. Title: Re: [TESTNET BITCOIN: BT3] Mining Pool Setup! 0% FEE! Testnet Bitcoins! Post by: crazy_rabbit on June 19, 2013, 04:28:43 PM Difficulty is low enough currently that with a small amount of hash power you can mine a significant number of coins. Whether or not testnet bitcoins are ever 'sellable' in the future is one thing, but it has a heck of a lot more potential then "insert random coin here".
