**Private Regtest.** This is Regression Testing Mode, which lets you run a totally local Bitcoin server. It allows for even more in-depth testing. There's no pruning needed here, because you'll be starting from scratch. **Private Regtest.** This is Regression Testing Mode, which lets you run a totally local Bitcoin server.
