altcoin testnets? Wasteland of failed assertions

[hotcoldcoin]

Which altcoins have working testnet support?  

Many, if not most, of the new batch of altcoins will fail if you try to run them with -testnet option, popping fatal error messages like:

Code:

Assertion failed!
...
File: src/main.cpp
...
Expression: block.GetHash() == hashGenesisBlock
...

Tsk tsk!  Don't be this guy:

We have a working testnet

Jupitercoin?

[Hydroponica]

That just means, they skipped the merklehash and genesis block, entirely. Basically, it is an indication, that the coin, was never tested

Jupitercoin?

hm?  is that for the working list, or the wasteland of failed assertions list?

[hotcoldcoin]

Respect to GLD and NVC.   

Now get a block explorer up for those testnets!    Only working and up-to-date testnet explorers I've found are for BTC and LTC.

Sample testnet explorer could be found here: http://novacoin.ru/chain/NovaCoin_TEST


BTW, you can get adapted ABE from this repository:

https://github.com/CryptoManiac/bitcoin-abe

and set up your own explorer.

[hotcoldcoin]

updated the list with info from above.

Also added to the wasteland of failed assertions:  Gil, Redcoin.   

[r3wt]

Add Nanotoken to the list of working Testnet.

Add J-coin to the list of Non working. note: The merkle is set but for some reason the assertion always fails, however the correct blockhash is set. could it be that setting hash genesis to false prior to the final build is the culprit?

[hotcoldcoin]

Da list updated!

testnet supporting: added: Elephantcoin, Nanotokens

Wasteland of failed assertions: added: Argentum, J-coin

[hotcoldcoin]

Add J-coin to the list of Non working. note: The merkle is set but for some reason the assertion always fails, however the correct blockhash is set. could it be that setting hash genesis to false prior to the final build is the culprit?

Where in the code was the hash genesis set to false?

Is that possible?  I thought that was a prerequisite for release.

there's a separate section for testnet in the code. most people ignorant.
