Hey guys,

Are there any testnets availble where one could test some crazy transactions? If so, is there a faucet I could use?

If not, do you see any value in the creation of a PoA testnet for grin? My assumption is that if it’s a PoW testnet, it could very easily become unusable.

Thanks!

There is a dedicated testnet called Floonet, run `grin --floonet` to connect to it.

Why is that? It seems to work fine, it has been around since before mainnet. Sometimes there are no blocks because no one is mining but usually running a single GPU can provide regular blocks

Hello peeps, is there still no way to get some testnet grins? Do I have to mine them, then wait like 24 hours to use them?
