Developers use it to test software; we use it to teach (sample guide).<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In our workshop you set up a wallet in testnet mode, write the recovery words on paper, wipe the wallet and restore it. Then you send a test payment to your neighbour and watch it confirm.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Practising on testnet first means the first real mistake you avoid is the expensive one.
