LitecoinJ's testnet is not working

LitecoinLTC · July 13, 2019, 11:45pm

So I am trying to use LitecoinJ for my Litecoin development (GitHub - GENERALBYTESCOM/litecoinj at litecoin-0.15.1)

However, when I try to connect testnet, it throws an error (null pointer).

NetworkParameters params = TestNet3Params.get();
final Wallet wallet = Wallet.createDeterministic(params, ScriptType.P2PKH);

So I checked TestNet3Params and it is using Bitcoin testnet DNS seeds:

github.com

GENERALBYTESCOM/litecoinj/blob/litecoin-0.15.1/core/src/main/java/org/litecoinj/params/TestNet3Params.java

    dnsSeeds = new String[] {
            "testnet-seed.bitcoin.jonasschnelli.ch", // Jonas Schnelli

    };

I know Litecoin.org doesn’t develop LitecoinJ library, but are there any websites that I can get Litecoin Testnet Seed?

Alright, I figured out - it’s basically LitecoinJ testnet feature is not working at all. The genesis hash TestNet3Params.java is wrong in the first place (as of 07/13/2019)

In the end, could you use the TestNet3Params class to verify the blocks?
I have been several days and I have not been able to make it work.
