It appears that someone is minting new blocks literally every couple of
seconds on the testnet chain right now.
You can see it on both blockexplorer:
http://blockexplorer.com/testnet
and also btclook:
http://testnet.btclook.com/
Is this something we should worry about?
thanks,
Mike

I don't use testnet much anymore, partly because it sometimes kind of
breaks like this. It's a public resource and people sometimes abuse it.
You can create your own local network with -regtest and that lets you mint
new blocks instantly. It's a much simpler way to do testing and app
development.
