+
+Hello, I'm thinking about writing a BIP about resetting the testnet on
+regular/scheduled basis
+
+The idea works like this:
+* Every 210000 block is being used as the genesis of a completely new cha=
+in.
+* The old one gets forgotten
+* No chain can be longer than 210000 blocks
+
+The problems are:
+* How to get this working with testnet3? Only a hardfork probably.
+* Is it that easy to change the chain while Bitcoin Core is running?
+Probably the blocks need to be appended to the cureent one. After a
+restart it would get patched
+* Could the the chain derive into multiple once at every reset? (Planned
+attacks)
+
+What do you think about the idea?
+
+Greetings,
+Emil Engler
