Yes, thank you. I guess that's what everybody is doing to measure validation performance. So I guess the timedtest mode doesn't make much sense, at most only as the blocktime parameter defaulting to zero. If bool MineBlocksOnDemand() gets refactored out of ChainParams into a parameter (maybe just use genproclimit ?), you can have the periodic block generation and the generation on demand reusing the same regtest mode. So it seems a new mode only makes sense if the -private mode makes sense, which in turn only makes sense to include in bitcoind if it's useful enough for the network attack simulations, which remains the open question. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
