It is true that the only way to make sure it is and remains complete is to test it though.\r\nBut I'm afraid the only way to test this is from rpc and with a new chain whose genesis block is actually invalid (and not only in pow but other things like bip34).\r\nWe could more easily write such a test with something like #8994 which contains this and other things to make testchains more easily."}}
