= Testnet =
This testnet network will be a completely independent secondary blockchain for testing purposes only, in which all tokens will have no intrinsic value and will not be traded on exchanges. The purpose of a testnet is to test features and functionality before introducing those features and functionality to the main blockchain. It is a playground to experiment and test different features with almost no cost to transact or mine blocks. During this testing phase, the Ravencoin blockchain itself will continue to maintain the same operation and functionality it has today.
To run your current wallet in testnet mode (Windows):
# Right click the shortcut, choose details and add '-testnet' to the target field. Example: <br /> <pre>"C:\Users\<username>\Path\to\executable\raven-qt.exe" –testnet</pre>
# Open the wallet by clicking on the shortcut you just made, and let the blockchain sync fully
{| class="wikitable"
'''If you would prefer to err on the side of caution, consider running your testnet wallet on a different computer.'''

If you have additional questions about testnet, please see [https://www.reddit.com/r/Ravencoin/comments/94ju8y/come_join_us_on_testnet_and_try_out_rvn_assets/ this subreddit thread] or the [https://discord.gg/9mxhNjS #testnet channel in Discord.]
And here is [http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/hans-schmidt/mastering_ravencoin/blob/master/analysis/What_is_wrong_with_Ravencoin_testnet6_block_38554.html an example] of a bug found that got paid a bounty - happy bug hunting!
