<p>shows the ip:port for bitcoin nodes</p>

<p>where can I find nodes for testnet?</p>

<p>Google is coming up dry!</p>

<p>After many hours spent; I tried what seemed the logical approach: use a main-net nodes ip but change the port from 8333 to 8332 (but, no luck, not connecting to testnet!)</p>

<p>also tried 18332   :/</p>

<p>I am a new company, I want to test!</p>

<p>I am using this <a href="https://github.com/sebicas/bitcoin-sniffer" rel="noreferrer">https://github.com/sebicas/bitcoin-sniffer</a> to realize new-transactions and new-blocks real time on main-net but I am failing to do so on testnet (where do I connect? please)</p>

<p>This information should be instantly available and easy to find!</p>

<p>Then we wonder why bitcoin is not adopted!</p>

<p>The information is no where on the net!!</p>
