Testnet down after a node software bug stopped the chain
A bug introduced during node software work stopped the testnet. Patches are still being written and tested; nodes, registrations and participation eligibility are unaffected.

The testnet is down
I introduced a bug while working on the node software, and it stopped the chain. The testnet remains down while I write and test the patches needed to restart it.
The public testnet exists to surface bugs on a chain where coins carry no value, before mainnet where real stakes are involved.
What node operators need to know
- Your node and registration are fine. Keep your node installed so you can resume when the patched version is available.
- Testnet participation still counts. Downtime caused by the chain does not affect your eligibility.
- I will post an update when the fix is ready, including instructions if you need to update anything.
Thank you for your patience.
