I’ve seen manfred use testnet and the bisq dev environment to demonstrate trading on a few different videos. Is there documentation on how to set this up? I can see myself wowing thousands at my local crypto meetup 🙂 look how easy this is! ---

Hi @peoples. I just went through the process of setting this up myself. I found the wiki documentation to be confusing and outdated. But I seem to have this somewhat working now. If you have questions, let me know and I might be able to help. > **[bisq-network/bisq](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/wiki)** > > A decentralized bitcoin exchange network.

Hi @Devin , afaik, we must download bitcoin-core in order to use it in regtest mode. But, is it also mandatory to download the whole blockchain (as it seems), or is there a way to just download bitcoin-core alone ? (sorry for the silly question). ---

I did manage to get regtest to work. It does not require a blockchain download. I followed the example here: [https://bitcoin.org/en/developer-examples#regtest-mode](https://bitcoin.org/en/developer-examples#regtest-mode) ---

> [@Homard](#): > > is it also mandatory to download the whole blockchain No for regtest you create yoru own blocks by `generate 1` in the Bitcoin core console. ---

I will make sure to clarify when I get a chance to update the wiki content. Just trying to figure out if I can make a PR for wiki content lol
