Test, test, test, testnets nets why and which. Forget mainnet. My iron-clad contract on a testnet is the real reason/goal to celebrate.

some points
[ ] you might expect a lot of how to connect to test nets
[ ] contents of this piece
[x] new financial system….yes, that means money
[x] we need to prove this to give the unbanked a chance to participate, therefore we can’t fuck it up, we have a reputation to earn
[x] lobbying against cryptography (maybe not relevant)
[ ] web2 testing scenarios
[x] celebrating having iron clad contracts on testnet NOT getting them on a live/main network
[ ] which choices of networks do we have? What are the differences in testing with different consensus algorithms? Faucets test tokiens might detemine which one to use. can be unexpected
[ ] Awareness of deprecated networks. Does that mean anything for me and my smart contract?
[ ] reminder to clad your contracts in titanium! Oh yeah and have tonnes of fun building and getting all those unbanked safely onboard the vessel we are building!
[ ] Luna and UST vs ZK sync

Contents .we’ll establish that at the end!!

What to expect from this piece

This meant primarily to give an overview on what testnets are and how they fit in to the grander scheme of things. Enjoy!

The real world implications of ‘why’ a testnet

There are many human coordination problems that Web3 hopes to solve. For example, four billion of our cousins in the world don’t have financial services of any kind at all, and data harvesting has proven to have so many adverse effects. What does that have to do with a testnet, you might ask.
