Re: [UNO] Unobtanium Info & Discussion - Update to 0.10 Wallet - Merge Mine w/BTC! April 08, 2016, 03:33:05 PM #12385 Quote from: BitcoinNational on April 06, 2016, 05:58:28 PM Quote from: RDDRocket on April 06, 2016, 03:15:52 PM To really clarify the best I can: Yes, it does all simply evaporate by resetting it.

consensus? a lone wolf can't just reset it.



Quote from: RDDRocket on April 06, 2016, 03:15:52 PM If you wanted to keep the coins and preserve the blockchain, you'd need to fork the testnet again and then it's no longer UNOs testnet, it becomes Prototanium as an entire new coin. In effect, that does actually just create another cloned premined coin as well. So, not a good idea at all.

good idea or not, it is likely the outcome of this disagreement. when? not soon ... again Blazr/Hag created both ... if he wishes to resurface from the deep and inform us ... that is welcome ... but forking PR off the testnet ends the debate ... and PR walks off as a "cloned premined coin" and "it lives on in infamy".

Maybe this will help:



Forking the testnet is a simple pull-request away, and someone will do it eventually when it's necessary to play with the testnet again (since it is worthless for testing in it's current state, too long and bloated and difficulty too high). If someone wants to keep mining the old testnet at that point, no one can stop them from setting up full nodes to keep it going. We'll just bump the version number and not offer connections to the old testnet.



Of coarse, someone could do that even without a pull request to run a private testnet and that would be fine too.



If you're offering any monetary reward for testnet coins you're simply rewarding the abuse of the testnet. But anyone who needs the testnet probably doesn't care because we can fork it at any time and it's your money to blow.
