 Below you will find the instructions for joining testnet7 using a Windows machine.
 This guide is for farmers that want to run the testnet on the same machine as their mainnet.
-If you want to do it on a seperate device, please see https://github.com/Chia-Network/chia-blockchain/wiki/How-to-connect-to-the-Testnet for simple instructions

 the previous step only changed the target network from mainnet to testnet7 and the external port from 8444 to **5**8444 in config.yaml. All other internal TCP ports are 8XXX, just like your Windows running the mainnet instance. This will lead to TCP ports conflicts.
-To change this, we need to go to the config.yaml file and change all 8xxx ports to 58xxx ports (about 10 occurences) and change the 55400 to 5**8**400 (2 occurences).
