I suspect some recent changes inadvertently broke "user testing" due to how we set the timestamp on the genesis block.
This PR simplifies genesis block creation in user testing. We just hard-code the timestamp now (we did before but at some point we started overwriting it with
now()
.We now also just hard-code the nonce to
0
on both testing modes - it is fast to mine the dev genesis block in "user_testing" so just do that each time.To make this consistent we simply call
pow::mine_genesis_block()
when setting up the genesis block during user testing.
