测试网络
测试网络被设计来替代 Bitcoin block chain,用于测试。它允许程序开发者或 bitcoin 试用者进行试验性的操作,而不用担心破费 bitcoin 或破解 bitcoin chain.
运行 bitcoin 或 bitcoind 时添加参数 -testnet 即可,或者在 bitcoin.conf 中添加一行 testnet=1 亦可。
两者区别
- 使用18333端口替代8333。
- Bootstrapping IRC channel is #bitcoinTEST instead of #bitcoin (both on irc.lfnet.org). The built-in node list is disabled.
- A different value of ADDRESSVERSION field ensures no testnet BitCoin addresses will work on the production network. (0x6F rather than 0x00)
- The protocol message header bytes are shifted up (0xFABFB5DA instead of 0xF9BEB4D9)
- 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.
- A new genesis block
