testnet uses same RPC port as mainnet #1747

The default RPC port is 8332, for mainnet or testnet3. This
1. is unsafe, if code assumes 8332 is mainnet
2. conflicts with a mainnet node, if you are running both on the same machine
The code should automatically change RPC ports, if testnet3.

Yes, the client should just use 18332 for testnet RPC IMHO.

Agreed. It should automatically change RPC ports in case of testnet if the port is not explicitly set.

No longer the case, closing
