Since last week, the difficulty on Bitcoin Testnet has quadrupled. Seems like people are taking to heart the idea of Testnet bitcoins as being the true Alt-Coin. Important to note- developers can always use Testnet-in-a-box http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/testnet-in-a-box/ if they need access to controlled low difficulty bitcoin testnet. So mining testnet bitcoins should not cause any developers any problems. |

are people like gavin anderson aware people are pointing large hash rates at the testnet for bitcoin?.... not wanting to stir up trouble or tell people what they can and can't do... but i seem to remember a little while ago reading somewhere that testnet for bitcoins is for developers to test changes to their code and needs to not have its difficulty thrown through the roof or it upsets the developers as they can't test for bugs... not sure where i read the post, but thought it worth the mention.

Indeed, thats why they developed the private "testnet-in-a-box" application where you can set up your own testnet and thus not have to worry about difficulty swings on the public-testnet. http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/testnet-in-a-box/:-) |

Really? What problems did you have? The first instance accepts connections from the other ones, but those display no connection at all (even though the first instance says it's connected to peers) |

Minimum difficulty of 1.0 on testnet is equal to difficulty of 0.5 on mainnet. This means that the mainnet-equivalent of any testnet difficulty is half the testnet difficulty. In addition if no block has been found in 20 minutes, the difficulty automatically resets back to the minimum. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Testnet |
