Hi Andreas,
> By the way, testnet3 works great for us (for testing). I consider block s=
torms a feature, because it tests our code in rough conditions. We had plan=
ned to support both testnets in the forseeable future.

> https://github.com/bitcoinj/bitcoinj/
The "good" news is that testnet4 has very frequent short reorgs. [0]
It appears that people are trying to CPU mine by exploiting the rule that d=
ifficulty drops to 1 after 20 minutes. For every real difficulty block that=
's mined, they instantly publish 5 or 6 blocks, right up against the rule t=
hat blocks can't be more than 2 hours in the future.=20
Another side-effect of that behavior is that on testnet4 MTP is typically i=
n the future, rather than an hour in the past. Combined with the timewarp a=
ttack mitigation rule helped reveal some bugs. [1, 2, 3]
There is a potential counter measure [4] that involves re-orging out those =
low difficulty blocks, though it's just a hackathon proof-of-concept and no=
t likely to be included in Bitcoin Core itself. If anyone were to run it, y=
ou'd get even more reorgs to test :-)
