We appreciate the valuable testing that Bitcoin testnet has enabled us to do, and look forward to giving back to the Bitcoin testnet community to keep this amazing resource available for other projects of all types in the future.

A new 0.3.0 release will be shipped on Github, and everyone will need to upgrade. An upgrade should involve just downloading the latest NodeCore, importing/copying over your previous wallet, and running. As the blockchain will be reset, there will be no bootstrapping file or 170,000+ blocks to sync.

FAQ Q: Can I still use my accrued tBTC to PoP after block 175500 (500 blocks before the 176000 official end, because PoP takes 500 blocks for payout to finalize)? A: No. We suggest you donate any tBTC back to a BTC TestNet fountain.

Q: Can I still mine on VeriBlock TestNet after block 176000 and prior to High Noon? A: Short answer: No. Long answer: As the VeriBlock Mining Sunrise network is decentralized, we will not (and can not) take it down. As a result, mining will still technically work, but coins mined or transferred in those blocks will not be moved over, so best to save your hashing power and effort, and donate your tBTC back to one of the fountains.
