Obviously, the testnet's block production is unstable, and the old signet is not easy to get sBTC. In order to facilitate developers, I recently launched a new signet network, including:

1. Three block-mining nodes;
2. A browser based on mempool open source software; website is:  https://signet.sathub.io
3. An electrumx service;
4. An rpc and synchronization node;
5. signet faucet(will be open in the future);

How they are connected can be seen in the documentation，https://docs.sathub.io/sathub-docs/connect

The main portal for the service is： https://sathub.io

Everyone is welcome to use it, it is free; it is currently in the trial operation stage, if you want to participate, please contact me via message box on twitter(https://x.com/0xNullor) and I will give you some sBTC;

Hi there, welcome to bitcointalk.

Looking at your block explorer, it's clear it's different from Signet network (by Bitcoin Core dev) where both network only have same genesis block. I haven't tried it, but did you create this as additional option for software developer or do you happen to offer feature which isn't exist on other Signet network (by Bitcoin Core dev)?

This is a brand-new Bitcoin network in signet mode; its features are completely consistent with the mainnet, and no new features have been added for the time being; some new features may be added in the future with reference to BIPs;

This signet network only speeds up the block generation speed, which is currently about 3 minutes. I don’t think it is necessary to wait for 10 minutes. For development, what developers need is to be able to quickly see the execution results of transactions.

That makes sense, people would rather not wait 10 minutes (multiplied by total required confirmation) if possible. Did you have any specific consideration when choosing 3 minutes or is it arbitrary number?

Good question.

In my past development experience, the largest P2P network transmission delay I have ever encountered was about 3 minutes. One machine was on Alibaba Cloud and one machine was on Microsoft Cloud. That was in 2020; therefore, I choose 3 minutes.

hi ethan, thanks for your great job. will you please send me a little sBTC? I want to try.
