The magic bytes copied the bitassets name "BITS8", so truthcoin shared regtest, forknet and alphanet with that chain. Its 6 characters also left 2 free bits, which is why Signet squatted on 0b110. The name is "TRUTH" now, and every network identifier fits.

Truthcoin cannot join Betanet.
Networkhas Alphanet, but no Betanet, so the node has no Betanet magic bytes and no Betanet seed. BitWindow starts truthcoin with--network=betaneton Betanet, and clap refuses that value.#17 gave truthcoin its own
TRUTHprefix, and it kept Alphanet as network id 3. Betanet replaces Alphanet as the live eCash test network, and the other sidechains already use network id 4 for Betanet.This PR adds
Network::Betanetwith the magic bytes828f0a04and the seedseed.beta.ecash.eu.com, the node that runs BMM for truthcoin, and drops Alphanet. It does not change signet, regtest or forknet.
