This is the result:
- http://testnet.bitshares.eu
- http://docs.bitshares.eu/testnet/

@xeroc , I can see that you've updated the docs and removed this description about setting up a private network:
https://github.com/BitSharesEurope/docs.bitshares.eu/blob/3ea1f3f4d3cf222a421362efff0bb8b2db1dafb2/source/testnet/Private.rst

Does it mean that the removed chapters are no longer needed because your current description refers to both private and public networks?

Effectively therr is no difference between private and public chains except maybe for
- who may connect to the seed node
- who may connect to the p2p network
- who controls the committee
- who controls the witnesses

The only thing i still want to add is a tutorial about how to run a local (temporary) graphene blockchain for development

But he should really be compensated for the cost of running and maintaining it.  How about a worker proposal for it?

Thank you but the server is still useful to me for its intended purpose - perhaps even more useful now with a testnet running on it. Nevertheless I've been too busy with non-crypto life type stuff to really dig in and get involved with the various Bitshares efforts and projects. In lieu of time I can donate resources.

Thanks for your kind generousity. Appreciate it.  :)

Come on now. Not everything has to be monetized.. the various electrum-{dash,btc,ltc} operators run their servers for free, and accept donations.

Imo that's more than enough.

This could have saved me around 200k BTS .  :D

Hello there,

let me start with thanking @Riverhead for providing a machine the machine for this! Please give him some +5% or even better, some BROWNIE.PTS

Anyway, @puppies brought up the idea of constructing a public testnet and I took the idea and used it to also document the steps necessary to deploy a graphene-based blockchain.
This is the result:

- http://testnet.bitshares.eu
- http://docs.bitshares.eu/testnet/

Since I also installed a faucet, if you register an account in the web wallet, you will be donated 10k TEST so you can play around.

I planned to have three MPAs on that chain of which only two are currently "running" (price feeds). The third one got globally settled already due to a bug in one of my scripts.

Backend Code:
Please clone https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares-core, checkout "testnet" branch or latest tag starts with "test".


Have fun!
