Incorrect regtest network settings in docs/testnets.md #45

Description

@arnoud-k

I'm adding the smartBCH amber testnet (which works fine) and also adding the corresponding BCH regtest network.

The remote node for the BCH regtest (addnode=47.115.171.70:28331) is incorrect. It doesn't connect.

Using the data provided in https://github.com/smartbch/artifacts/releases/download/v0.0.4/dot.smartbchd.tgz, I can see there is a node for rpc calls (mainnet-rpc-url = "http://34.150.125.124:8332"). I was able to connect to that IP, using port 8331, and downloading a blockchain.

The latest block for this node is:

{
  "version": 20215000,
  "protocolversion": 70012,
  "blocks": 646365,
  "timeoffset": 0,
  "connections": 1,
  "proxy": "",
  "difficulty": 4.656542373906925e-10,
  "testnet": false,
  "relayfee": 0.00001000,
  "errors": "WARNING: check your network connection, 0 blocks received in the last 4 hours (24 expected)"
}

Block 646365 has hash 00000047b24c9d04b13c14eea1f862353601933c7b078f1909f74c0647026cf0, and has the following header:

{
  "hash": "00000047b24c9d04b13c14eea1f862353601933c7b078f1909f74c0647026cf0",
  "confirmations": 1,
  "height": 646365,
  "version": 536870912,
  "merkleroot": "3c7612c012dcc45fa59a1d38dbfe47c1fcd7da44f846153dbd6678f6574009d5",
  "time": 1629091057,
  "mediantime": 1629090847,
  "nonce": 346310912,
  "bits": "207fffff",
  "difficulty": 4.656542373906925e-10,
  "chainwork": "000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000013b9bc",
  "previousblockhash": "0000003073c5cd4019344b7d80547558997aa228576a1092831479e84222d709"
}

The time translates to Monday, August 16, 2021 5:17:37 AM GMT.

It's September 9th today, so many more blocks should have been created.

Being behind on the underlying BCH network results in smartBCH warnings "commit is for a block we do not know about". It seems to work regardless (which by itself is a bit surprising), but it is not right.

What is the address of a working, up to date, node that I can connect to?
