Hello, I tried myself with some Bitcoin development. For t= his 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) ?

At the mome= nt, I somewhat doubt this is likely to happen. Signet provides an alternati= ve for configuring multiple separate private and public testing networks. I= f you would like to get involved, check out the recent discussion on the to= pic recorded here:
