-# 15.2: Testing with Regtest
-
-> **NOTE:** This is a draft in progress, so that I can get some feedback from early reviewers. It is not yet ready for learning.
-
-This document explains how to test a Regtest (Regression Test).
-
-
-## Verifying balance
-
-After [mining blocks](15_3_Mining_with_Regtest.md) and getting the rewards, you can verify the balance on your wallet:
-```
-$ bitcoin-cli -regtest getbalance
-```
-
-## Testing the Regtest
-Now you should be able to use this balance for any type of interaction with the private Blockchain, such as sending Bitcoin transactions according to [Chapter 4]((04_0_Sending_Bitcoin_Transactions.md)) in this guide. The only difference is that you need to use the flag `-regtest` when running the `bitcoin-cli` in order for the request to be sent to the Regtest Bitcoin daemon.
-
-It is important to note that for your transactions to complete, you will have to generate/mine new blocks so that the transactions can be included into them.
-
-For example, to create a transaction and include into a block:
-```
-$ bitcoin-cli -regtest sendtoaddress [address] 10.0
-```
-
-And after it, if your application requires 6 confirmations, you can mine additional 6 blocks into your Regtest chain:
-```
-$ bitcoin-cli -regtest generate 6
-```

-# 15.3: Mining the Regtest
-
-> **NOTE:** This is a draft in progress, so that I can get some feedback from early reviewers. It is not yet ready for learning.
-
-This document explains how to generate (i.e. mine) blocks using a Regtest (Regression Test) blockchain.
-To generate the Genesis block and the next blocks on a new blockchain requires very minimal proof-of-work, due to the low difficulty and that it follows the Testnet rules.
-
-
-## Generating blocks
-
-You can generate/mine new blocks using the RPC method `generate`. This method is only available in the Regtest mode, using the following command:
-```
-$ bitcoin-cli -regtest generate 101

-]
-```
-The output is the block hash of every block generated (in our example, 101 hashes).
-
-
-This command will generate 101 blocks using a special RPC which is only available in regtest mode. This takes less than a second on a generic PC. 
-Because this is a new block chain using Bitcoin’s default rules, the first blocks pay a block reward of 50 bitcoins. 
-Unlike mainnet, in regtest mode only the first 150 blocks pay a reward of 50 bitcoins. 
-However, a block must have 100 confirmations before that reward can be spent, so we generate 101 blocks to get access to the coinbase transaction from block #1.
