relates to https://github.com/input-output-hk/Developer-Experience-working-group/issues/32

this proposal suggests a solution to the issue of the missing 'hellbound' testnet discussed before.

Currently this proposal has no sponsor.

I have scripts that can register a few million stake addresses on chain. I did this on an earlier version of the guild network. Then the guild team decided to re-spin it because they didn't like how laggy it got during epoch cutover even though we only had a handful of node operators.

As far as adding network traffic, I can generate dripdropz traffic if I spin up an environment. However, keeping this going 24/7 is difficult and takes some maintenance to continually monitor token bucket levels. This also does nothing to simulate any smart contract traffic on the network.
