I don't use testnet much anymore, partly because it so= metimes kind of breaks like this. It's a public resource and people som= etimes abuse it.

You can create your own local network w= ith -regtest and that lets you mint new blocks instantly. It's a much s= impler way to do testing and app development.

It appears that someone is minting new blocks literally ev= ery couple of seconds on the testnet chain right now.

Yo= u can see it on both blockexplorer:

and also btclook:
=C2=A0=C2=A0http://testnet.btclook.com/<= /div>

Is this something we should worry about?

thanks,
Mike
