If you launch with the above comment, the dashboard (for your testnet node) is available through neptune-dashboard --port 19799.
Testnet is now running

Testnet is a network that behaves just like main net, but where all the coins are intended to be worthless, so you can play around without bad consequences.
I started up a testnet node that I plan to keep running. For now, Iโm also composing and guessing on this network. I cannot guarantee that there will always be composing and guessing happening from my machine but at least one node should always be available.
You can reach it on 51.15.139.238:19798, so by launching neptune-core --network testnet --peers 51.15.139.238:19798 --peer-port 19798 --rpc-port 19799, you can connect to it.

If you use separate ports for main net and test net, you can run an instance on both networks on the same machine. Just donโt mix up which node is which though โ as you probably donโt want to dedicate all your mining power to test net :)
