Liquid branch testnet

[BHodl]

When selecting testnet as network on liquid branch, elements is configured as regtest.

There's no testnet on liquid :)

There is liquidv1 (mainnet) and elementsregtest (regtest for elements). There is now also signet if I'm not mistaken... haven't tried it yet.

Look like it exist now. https://blockstream.info/liquidtestnet/blocks/recent I managed to make it work with elements-qt but no success with peg-in for now. Configuration and faucet --> https://liquidtestnet.com

Oh wow! I wasn't aware they finally created one! Thanks! I'll update the features/liquid branch!

@BHodl Have you had any success with this? I am trying to get this working as well.

Still figuring this out myself. FWIU LiquidTestnet is maintained by Blockstream and not actually linked to BitcoinTestnet - so no peg-ins.

@BHodl

The reason why it doesn't work is because the liquidtestnet.com config has the setting daemon=1 Container needs the process to stay in the foreground.

I got it working with this docker-compose.yaml

  elements_liquidtestnet:

    ports:

      restart_policy:
