Testnet: can't find peers, cant find blocks

[pinheadmz]

UPDATE: I have destroyed my testnet node due to lack of interest. Community members who want to build a testnet should comment on this issue, or open a PR replacing the hsd testnet seed nodes, which are also inactive:

~I have a testnet node up at:~

ai3shxm76z2fvdhv5rvbriloabhsghr6v43mi3zmtlq75ocbeb4wg@142.93.64.216

~You can connect like this:~

$ hsd --network=testnet \
--only=ai3shxm76z2fvdhv5rvbriloabhsghr6v43mi3zmtlq75ocbeb4wg@142.93.64.216 

~I have only here to avoid bothering with the hard-coded testnet seeds which seem to be down. If you want to run a testnet node, add your IP in this discussion.~

@protovist no one is mining on testnet and the lack of blocks is causing network errors.

[pinheadmz]

Good news! There is now at least one block on testnet.

I updated the top post - my testnet node is no longer active
