Bitcoin’s Testnet5 mined 36 blocks in just over 15 minutes. Nobody could spend a single coin yet. The electric meter kept running.

Why pay real money to mine play money?

Imagine your mining pool rounds your payout down. The block can still pass every Bitcoin check. Your node knows how much the pool was allowed to claim. It has no idea what the pool promised you.

If I ran that pool, I’d happily pay for an afternoon of electricity to catch the bug before a miner called on payday.

Meet the volunteers footing that bill and testing four proposed Bitcoin fixes. 👇
