Post by: reee on June 23, 2017, 02:35:17 PM
Is it possible? How can I do it? Is there a testnet electrum server?

I've read in another thread than I have to type:

electrum --testnet

but it doesn't work on windows. Any idea?

I have a version of Electrum running on testnet... and all I did was use the --testnet commandline argument...

What I did was make a copy of the shortcut that the installer created for Electrum... and then changed the shortcut "Target" value to:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Electrum\electrum-2.8.3.exe" --testnet

This feature worked on Windows. How can we active testnet feature on Android?

Testnet is not available for Electrum on mobile AFAIK.
