For this I used of course the Bitcoin testnet. However it took me one hour to sync the blockchain with around 1538358 blocks. In my opinion that is too much for a testnet. Especially the blockchain size with around 26GB is so much. Would it be possible to reset the testnet with a new genesis block ? And if so, can we setup a fixed cycle for resetting the testnet (For example every second 1st of January) ? Greetings, Emil Engler
