This question of mine got lost
Testnet is also validated by miners, if that answers your question.
yeah but if I mine on testnet and then run a faucet to give them away, does this help devs and the community?
I think devs can cpu mine on testnet when they need test coins or blocks. IF this was helpful, it would only be helpful while it was ongoing and people were aware, but it could be hurtful when you stop or to anyone who needed funds but was unaware of the faucet. IIRC, there was some drama somewhere (possibly BTC) fairly recently with someone GPU mining in testnet in order to keep it from being usable.
