Rather than using an inhumanly long hex string from the genesis hash to
distinguish between mainnet and testnet, why not use the network magic
bytes instead? Much shorter, just as distinct.
I'd still prefer a common network name mapping for the sake of humanity.
Few bitcoin library implementations use the same string names for mainnet
and testnet. This BIP could simply define one string name alias for each
supported network and leave mapping to local lingo to the implementors.
