Testnet boostrap results in empty implicit contract

[benjamin-wilson]

Switching networks in tznft.json to testnet results in this error when trying to boostrap:

originating balance inspector contract...

It looks like the intermittent errors caused by unavailability of the public node. A quick fix might be going to tznft.json config file and changing RPC URL for some alternative public node

tznft does not originate inspector contract anymore
