Bitcoin Testnet4 NGE

GM!

Is anyone else experiencing shortages with the Testnet4 canister?

It looks like Bitcoin Testnet4 is suffering similar issues as Testnet3:

And with ridiculously high fees:

Which brings me back to suggesting Signet as the only reliable option for a testing environment: Bitcoin Signet support :folded_hands:

Testnet4 is currently experiencing issues with many competing branches, making it difficult to determine the main chain.

Our recently deployed Bitcoin Testnet Canister initially required strict synchronization within 2 blocks. To improve availability, we’ve loosened these limits slightly.

However, this means transactions sent to blocks that appear stable may later be overridden by competing branches. Keep this in mind when testing.
