Title: Android and regtest?
Post by: lukew on November 02, 2018, 11:03:55 PM
Is it in any way possible to point the Testnet wallet towards a regtest node to demo using a private network? I have an almost ready to reveal project which I hope to demo at some UK Bitcoin meetups next year. Obviously having a node on testnet will potentially chew through mobile data, and I'd like to be able to generate loads of blocks quickly to demo a few features.

Thanks :)

I don't think there are any wallets that are avaliable to connect to the testnet nodes for the bitcoin network (correct me if I'm wrong though)...

I also think the testnet blockchain will chew up quite a large chunk of data as far as I know it should do anyway (an article I found from january said it was 14GB so it's still pretty huge for a regular data plan).

There is the Testnet3 wallet, but cant find a way to connect it to a private Regtest network. I'm having to start from scratch now anyway as I've powered my machine on for the first time in months and both the main and backup drives have failed. Main has collapsed a bearing and ground a platter up, and the other just jams the BIOS up. Lost the last years work on ATM software and all my card terminal software is lost.
