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
