v0.11.2.x Testing

While attempting to repair my wallet, I get a block read error and the wallet crashes.

This was a newly created directory for testnet3 and I have been able to duplicate the problem.

I was able to get around this problem by copying the testnet3 directory from another 11.2.7 wallet.

I know that I should know this, but can anyone give me a link on setting up a testnet masternode on my home (linux) computer?

same as a normal MN, but then run the command ./dashd -testnet
All of the files are in .dash/testnet3, with dash.conf in the .dash directory.
 
We have these arrows in traditional scheme on the overview

I have a question regarding some of our respected developers and members who want to do away with mining all together. I personally would prefer it if we kept miners, but created a system where all mining activity must be done with a wallet, such as p2pool. I don't know if this is possible, but I do feel that the dual nature of having masternodes and miners has made us very flexible, especially flexible during updates to new code. Anyway, I remember there was a problem with P2pool as well, can anyone remind me of it?
 
Also, are we going to create a new IRC channel? Or will it remain darkcoin?

#dash (taken, but being used by "early adopters", and trying to claim for ourselves)
#dashtalk.org (registered by us)
#dashtalk (registered by us)

But I believe good old #Darkcoin will have much love for a long time...

downloaded the testnet dash-qt from this link
https://darkcointalk.org/threads/v0-11-2-x-testing.4202/page-15#post-47918

setup dash.conf as below
rpcuser=xxxxx
rpcpassword=xxxxx
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
testnet=1
daemon=1

but when i launched the dash-qt, it is still binding to port 9999 running in mainnet generating the address with X instead of testnet
what else i need to do? thanks
Did you start the client from the command line with -testnet? My windows batch file looks like this:
start dash-qt -testnet -datadir=c:\testnet
exit​
 
It took almost 8 hours for my testnet MN to become active. I was doing everything right yesterday.
Is it me or is DASH becoming more expensive? Mixing collateral payments have increased by three, and now mining is 5 coins instead of 30. I sent 10 tDRK between wallets and the fees were 0.100101
 
Seeing quite of few of these in the MN debug.log:

******************** 11.2.8 - All Users *********************************

- Protocol Bump
- Added current winning logo from the contest (I'll change it if there's a new winner, I thought the contest was ending this morning)
- Fixed freezing wallet issue (Udjin/eduffield)
- Added easy to use sponsorship option for starting masternodes. We’ve had great interest in the sponsorship program, but many of the potential sponsors were asking for an easier way to contribute a small percentage of their masternode earnings. In order to make donations easy for everyone, the first time you start your masternode, the software will ask if you’re interested in donating. More info here: https://darkcointalk.org/threads/core-developer-contest-and-sponsor-program.4358/page-3#post-48055

- Disconnect ds timer if not in litemode (Udjin)
- Disable DS relay (Udjin)
- More CSS styling fixes (Snogcel/Crowning)
