Sepolia is now on PoS

As of 2022/7/6, Sepolia has switched to PoS. The window to do some mining has closed.

Testnets after merge (original, old content from here)

It's mid 2022, Ethereum is still PoW and motoring towards merge / PoS. Surviving testnets will be Sepolia - currently PoW - and Goerli. Ropsten will be merged and then deprecated, Rinkeby and Kovan won't be merged.

I want to "get ready" for some Sepolia testing pre- and post-merge. Sepolia will not have a public validator set; testing post-merge will be limited to running applications on it. As Sepolia is PoW, I can actually go mine myself some SepplETH. Here's how.

<# 
	Visual Studio 2015 build creates a dacpac file, but Azure Resource Manager templates can use only bacpac files.
	This powershell script automates creation of bacpac and publishing to the blob storage.
	
	After building the data project, open a command prompt on the folder containing the dacpac file.
	Copy this script to the same folder.
	
	You need :
	1. Name of the localdb server where the dacpac is published ((localdb)\ProjectsV13)
