Should I be using Mainnet or Testnet?

Hi all,

Just a quick question. I just need a quick primer on the difference between mainnet and testnet. I made a new wallet on the Nano Client on the mainnet, but it recommends using testnet if I’m not too familiar with NEM. Can someone kindly explain the difference between these please?

Thank you!

Testnet should be used for experimenting since the xem coins in testnet are worth nothing.
Mainnet is the real thing, only do things that you are aware of, i.e. don’t just send xems for fun because they are worth something.

Alright, makes sense. I don’t really plan to for a while anyway. I might make a testnet wallet then though, just to play around with. Thank you :slight_smile:
