 It should be noted that there is currently no real way to distinguish a "specific" Portal
 network, and as long as the same Portal protocols are supported, nodes can
 simply connect to it and no real separation can be made.
+When testing locally the `--network:none` option can be provided to avoid
+connecting to any of the testnet bootstrap nodes.

+The Portal testnet is slowly being filled up with historical data through bridge nodes.
+Because of this, more recent history data is more likely to be available.. This can
 be tested by using the JSON-RPC call `eth_getBlockByHash`:

 # Get the hash of a block from your favorite block explorer, e.g.:

 One can also use the `blockwalk` tool to walk down the blocks one by one, e.g:
 ```bash
-make fluffy-tools
+make blockwalk

+./build/blockwalk --block-hash:${BLOCKHASH}
 ```
