Add testnet (Whatsonchain still in the process of building it out)

[AustEcon]

This API is still in active development at https://developers.whatsonchain.com/#introduction
and so currently only has a limited feature set. Nevertheless it is a start!
The most difficult aspect will be that there is no way currently to update the UTXO set... so the only way to send on testnet at the moment will be to manually create Unspents. Be patient...

BitIndex have plans to include Testnet and STN support in the near future
There is also a possible plan in the near future for a "Bitcoin node as a service" (via RPC)
--> Which in theory would be the most amenable to use in some kind of RegTest setup (#16 ).

Hey! Busy now, let me get back to you on this.

@AustEcon I wanted to let you know that BitIndex now supports Testnet and STN!

The new v3 endpoints are now available and you can select the chain.

Examples: http://github.com/bitindex/bitindex-sdk

Thanks again!

@attilaaf Oh wow! This is amazing news! Can't wait to wire that all up! :) I'm sure users of bitsv will be stoked as well!

Thanks for all of the hard work!

I'm sorry for missing this. Lots of little things going on over here. Feel free to ping me if you need anything.

Also, thank you @attilaaf, this sounds great.

Thanks again guys!

I wanted to follow up quick on the 502's recently.

Basically we've been experiencing a lot of growth in traffic and one of our servers disks were slow and causing a backlog of requests and then timing out other upstream links.

I've upgraded and fixed the problem and also added a caching layer on the backend to mitigate the problem and have a new architecture in the works to be more resilient too.

Thanks again and looking forward to seeing this library evolve.
