I agree that these types of tests are very good and usefuly, but: Don't they use the wrong term for them? I believe these tests are more commonly called "integration tests", not "unit tests". Or, did I misunderstand

Given the current Bitcoin exchange rates and transaction fees, this "single transaction" could still be more expensive than the value you get out from all altcoins combined. It depends on how much Bitcoin you have, though.

Thanks for pointing this out. BTW, I really wish that short explainations were mandatory for downvotes. This would have cleared this up early on.
