Testnet block generation

Hi all,

Maybe is a common 'issue' but why the testnet3 of bitcoin network generate a block so fast? at lead 6 block per minute.

Is this a normal behavior?

Thanks in advance.

This is normal behavior due to a special rule on testnet. For a detailed explanation you can read https://web.archive.org/web/20160910173004/https://blog.blocktrail.com/2015/04/in-the-darkest-depths-of-testnet3-16k-blocks-were-found-in-1-day/
