Overview

MainNet and TestNet are separate environments with separate blockchain data. With the MainNet launch on 3/25/2019, coins mined in TestNet do NOT transfer to MainNet.

As of NodeCore 0.4.3 or greater, the same nodecore package can be configured to MainNet or TestNet simply by switching the network in the nodecore.properties file.

By default the network=mainnet.

TestNet has a significantly lower difficulty, such that minimal hash can push through transactions.

Explorer

There is not currently an official testnet explorer.

There is a landing page:

https://testnet.explore.veriblock.org/

Connecting to TestNet

In nodecore.properties file, specify: 

network=testnet

#OPTIONAL: select specific nodes:
peer.external.hosts.testnet=95.216.123.86\:7501,94.130.147.194\:7501

This will create a separate bin\testnet folder, alongside bin\mainnet.

List of Nodes

Bootstrap 1 95.216.123.86
Bootstrap 2 94.130.147.194
Bootstrap 3 94.130.147.195

Mine to TestNet

There is a testnet pool with minimum hash to push through transactions:
