V4 resets to one when a block isn't found in twenty minutes.I guess V3 can be used more often than V4, because in testnet4, all CPU miners will be stuck, after reaching the nearest difficulty adjustment. Which means, that testnet3 can survive without ASICs, but testnet4 will probably not. ASIC miners are worthless anyway, it seems to be fitting that they would be used for a worthless network.  (I think if it can't DDOS, then it is a paper weight in my book long term.) The min difficulty rule should be dropped.  This is a good call. I almost fell out of my chair laughing at this.  I'm sure that'll do the trick. Try it.  I'm not sure what y'all think that will do, but I'm willing to bet that it isn't what you think it is! As I said in an email yesterday to Sjors (Lopp and StWenhao cc'ed): The line that Sjor said that stands out the most to me is:  "This has been addressed in this and other threads. Resets come with develop and ecosystem overhead, they're not a free lunch."  Sounds like he's familiar with the saying "There's no such thing as a free lunch" but thinks that this somehow magically doesn't apply to Testnet to some extent... seems pretty goofy. If anyone knows where I can flash my dev card and get a free lunch with my free Testnet coins I'm *entitled* to, please let me know because I'm hungry af. *nom nom nom* *puke*   Luckily, some of those ideologies can be tested in reality, and we have a Testnet to test ideas.   Ideologies do change.   They should not become a theology.  "GOD SAID YOU CAN'T". Gtfo of here.
