BOREAL RESEARCH TESTNET PREVIEW V1

No real-value coins, faucet, payments or working bridge.

Linux/POSIX research preview. Native Windows/Ubuntu desktop wallet GUIs and iOS/Android apps are planned, not bundled.
Python 3.11+ with cryptography 50.0.0. Create a virtual environment, then:
  python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
  python -m unittest -v research.test_testnet_v1 research.test_node_guard_v1
  python -m research.testnet_node_v1 --state ./preview-state --port 17110 --public-snapshot

The listener binds 127.0.0.1 only. View http://127.0.0.1:17110/status
The public seed is a read-only snapshot, not bidirectional peer participation.
Every block is validated against the pinned genesis and rules before adoption.
No wallet keys, private host state, credentials or dependencies are bundled.
Default mining rewards are deliberately unspendable. See research/TESTNET-v1.md.
