In <code>bitcoin.conf</code> should it really be <code>telnet=1</code>?

You are right. I guess the typo was the problem.

I am new to Bitcoin Development Environment. Trying to setup testnet environment with the help [this blog post](http://suffix.be/blog/getting-started-bitcoin-testnet).

```
Bitcoin Folder
~/.bitcoin $ ls
bitcoin.conf  chainstate  db.log     peers.dat
blocks        database    debug.log  wallet.dat

```

**bitcoin.conf**

```
telnet=1
server=1
rpcuser=userme
rpcpassword=mypassword
rpctimeout=30
rpcport=8332

```

**Running Bitcoin**

```
~/.bitcoin $ bitcoin-qt

Where are you choosing testnet network?  
In `bitcoin.conf` should it really be `telnet=1`?
Maybe you meant `testnet=1`?
