Is there a public tor testnet that I could have joined my node to for this sort of experimentation (I don't have the resources to build my own)? I can understand why you don't want production nodes logging data that could potentially cause harm to other network users, but also do not think curious users should be discouraged from poking around in the code.<br></div><div style="16px" text-align="left"><br></div> </body>
