Title: Alt coin for development? Post by: freeloader247 on August 11, 2013, 06:25:26 AM Hello everyone, I just wanted to know if there is an alt coin that is identical(RPC calls, transactions, etc...) to Bitcoin that I can use specifically for testing various transaction systems?
Title: Re: Alt coin for development? Post by: gmaxwell on August 11, 2013, 06:36:12 AM You use testnet for this. Start bitcoin(d/qt) with -testnet=1.

Almost all coins with the exception of one or two re-use the Bitcoin source code, so they are identical to the Bitcoin protocol. However, as suggested use testnet.Title: Re: Alt coin for development? Post by: gmaxwell on August 12, 2013, 12:01:09 AM Almost all altcoins use forks of really old versions of Bitcoin with a mish-mash of (partial) exploit fix backports and are, as such, not all that similar to current versions of Bitcoin.
Title: Re: Alt coin for development? Post by: freeloader247 on August 12, 2013, 03:08:23 AM I feel bad for asking but can someone send some testnet coins to: ms4ZVRmASRnrBdzoWTQpvnr4HVxfQppq9j. Or is there an testnet faucet?

Or is there an testnet faucet? http://tpfaucet.appspot.com/ http://testnet.mojocoin.com/ When I last used these faucets to get testnet coins, I noticed I had to wait a couple hours for them to arrive. Maybe a temporary issue. But if you try them and don't immediately receive coins, that's probably why. Title: Re: Alt coin for development? Post by: freeloader247 on August 12, 2013, 03:20:17 AM Thanks,. But now I have a problem of no connections i have port 18333 open. Any advise?
Nevermind fixed it. Damn the testnet is slow, "check you code twice, wait once" |
