NavCoin Networks

There are a number of networks you can connect to when launching the wallet. All of the networks apart from the Mainnet are for various forms of testing.

Networks

Mainnet

The default network that wallets connect to. Uses the port 44444 for RPC calls.

Testnet

Functions the same as the mainnet. Uses the port 44445 for RPC calls.
This is generally considered to be stable and is suitable for testing any kind of application or node on.

Devnet

Functions the same as the mainnet but with faster timings for block generation and community fund proposals. Uses the port 44446 for RPC calls.
This is intended for developers to test changes with a network.

Regnet

The Regnet is generally intended for solo testing, however it is possible to connect multiple clients to one regnet (it won’t connect to them by default though). Uses the port 44446 for RPC calls.

It attempts to create a new genesis block on launch and the wallet will fail to launch is there is an existing regnet folder inside your wallet data directory containing data in your wallet data directoty. The regnet allows you to manipulate the blockchain with console commands (e.g. you can generate blocks at will with the generate commands).
