The document mentions:

> A note to past contributors: When you registered as a past contributor, you provided Bisq’s founders with a mainnet BSQ address. As part of the testnet genesis distribution, we have generated a testnet BSQ address on your behalf and correlated it with the mainnet address you’ve already given us.

How would a past contributor, knowing his/her mainnet address, know on which testnet address the BSQ is deposited?
