Uses 18332 for JSON-RPC (instead of 8332). -* Uses irc.lfnet.org channel #bitcoinTEST for bootstrapping. -* Never tries to connect to "well known" nodes for bootstrapping. -* Uses bitcoinTEST for the default data directory (e.g. ~/.bitcoinTEST on Linux, %APPDATA%/BitcoinTEST on Windows, etc) -* Uses a different ADDRESSVERSION for Bitcoin Addresses (0xff instead of 0x0), so you can't screw up copying and pasting Bitcoin addresses (if you try to use a TEST address on the production system it will tell you it's invalid; you can, however, lose TESTcoins by trying to send them to a valid production address) -* Has a brand-new block chain (with a different genesis block) -* Initial difficulty is 4 times easier than production Bitcoin -* protocol message header bytes are { 0xfa, 0xbf, 0xb5, 0xda } instead of { 0xf9, 0xbe, 0xb4, 0xd9 } +* master : All of the above, merged together.
