testnet and some questions.

[twobits]

I had made some changes that I wanted to test on testnet. It has been going very slowly as I only have a laptop and no one answered my call for help on the irc channel.

If you look at block 23013 and the ones I looked at before this, they are under 1k.

was mined with my change, that changed nbits to ntime in the coinbase, but that should not cause much if any size growth yet shows as 19079 bytes.

So, I then rebuild with no changes from the official tree... and got http://testnet.explorer.dot-bit.org/b/f ... 2eb51926c4 , at 17245 bytes.

It seems it was not my changes. However, what version are other people on the testnet mining with to get the nice small proper blocksize?

I saw something similar in i0coins where it's rate of memory usage growth exploded once it hit merged mining blocks.

Does anyone know of a block file dumper or explorer that shows more detail, or that I can run locally?

Any one else up to helping figured this out and put a few hashes onto testnet and maybe towards my builds so things like that that I should have been able to determine in half a day don't take four days?

I can set a up an i3 for a couple of days if that helps.
