I do not know the actoal SV-testnet blockchain size. But, if see to mainnet - because of this is relative fresh fork of Bitcoin, blockchain size is close to Bitcoin's one, i.e. 200G. Please, be careful:

  • BitcoinSV runs as a daemon on a Linux only, and there is not exists a GUI wallet.
  • It uses directory $HOME/.bitcoin to hold blockchain and wallet.dat. As result, if you use Bitcoin on same Linux server/account, then BitcoinSV will hurt your Bitcoins wallet.dat and blockchain. I recommend backup or rename your .bitcoin before run SV.
  • Config command "zapwallettxes" does not work correctly. In my case, it clears balance from wallet.dat, I restored it from backup.

  • i changed .bitcoin directory but i'm not able to get console. how can i generate address and check balance in it and do transaction etc. please reply – Ajaypratap May 28 '19 at 14:22
  • there must be program "bitcoin-cli". Run it, for example: "bitcoin-cli getbalance" or "bitcoin-cli help". Of course, it works, only whenever daemon is running. – olegarch May 28 '19 at 15:56

  • i do not have ideas about SV and it's testnet. However, for experiments, I can recommend you to use Emercoin, and I can provide you test coins for free. I am CTO of Emercoin, and can assist with this crypto much more. See about our project: https://emercoin.com – olegarch May 29 '19 at 16:10
