Bitcoin-abc: Has bitcoin-abc a testnet?

Created on 28 Jul 2017  路  13Comments  路  Source: Bitcoin-ABC/bitcoin-abc

I need a testnet for bitcoin-abc or Bitcoin Cash (with big block activated). So I can test my software if it works with the >1M blocks.

Has bitcoin-abc or Bitcoin Cash a testnet? And how can my node join it?

Launching ABC with the testnet flag will end up on testnet.

We do testing on testnet. Please sign up to BTCfork slack on https://btcforks.signup.team and contact me there (freetrader), or email me.

Ok. I have joined the slack team and my username is "SwimmingTiger" too.

Is there any place I can get bcc testnet faucet?

@smno1 : there is something apparently working on a faucet, but I'm not sure how long until it's finished.
Please join us on BTCfork slack if you can, to get assistance with testnet coins in the meantime.

Has the testnet forked from (bitcoin legacy) testnet3 too?
In this case, may I know at which block number?
I need this to develop the code to split accounts.

@Polve : yes, testnet3 also forked according to the UAHF rule changes.

The last common block is 1155875 , the fork block is 1155876 .

The service unfortunately does not accept bech32 cash addresses: use old ones, it should work fine.

How do i create BCH testnet address?

@dovancao running a bitcoin-qt or bitcoind with command option --testnet, then call RPC getnewaddress.
