Title: what is going on with testnet network?
Post by: vuce on April 13, 2012, 06:37:17 PM
Now that I've finally managed to set up testnet there are almost no new blocks... What's happening? What can I do to speed it up? I've tried using the latest bitcoind but it wouldn't catch up with the proper chain.

are you using testnet in a box? Then what's your CPU?

It seems to me that no one is really mining on the testnet so it would seem that there are also very few nodes and maybe few have the whole blockchain.  I'm playing around with around with the script functions and if I want blocks to be made I've had to mine them myself.  The current rate seems to be making blocks every few hours, unless someone like me is actively doing something.
