# There's no way this testnet is the same as bitcoin
It's not, it's missing lots of important consensus rules. For example, there's no blocksize limit, there are no halvings (so coins are theoretically unlimited), there's no proof of work, there's no difficulty adjustment, there's no 100-block "waiting period" applied to freshly mined coins, later blocks don't commit to prior blocks, transactions are not merkelized, there's no concept of "median time past" (so blocks can have any timestamp), and this blockchain only understands how to validate transactions that exclusively spend segwit v1 utxos (i.e. taproot outputs) -- segwit v0 and legacy utxos are not supported. They're too old-fashioned. There are also *consequences* to the above things, e.g. due to there not being a blocksize limit, fees are always low (1 sat per byte) -- you don't need to compete with people to get into a block when there's no blocksize limit.

# Sounds like you omitted everything that makes bitcoin bitcoin. So what in the world is this thing?
