I am building a python app that depends on both monerod, and the JSON-RPC server for access to the (testnet) blockchain. In my testing environment, I had access to more than enough space to hold the testnet blockchain, however now that I am deploying to a VPS, I no longer have that luxury. I am willing to give in to potential security risks.
My question is, what arguments do I have to run monerod with to connect with a public testnet node (like testnet.community.xmr.to) instead of automatically downloading the 2gb+ blockchain?
