I'm not sure what is the difference between regtest and testnet, they seem are different things but i cant find the different between them.
Does one have more stuff than others?
On the regtest, peer are seem to not being found.

Regtest is a network designed solely to be private and for testing only. You can create a private regtest network and do testing and experimentation with it. It is not a public network and has no peers for you to connect to.

2So can i make another peer and connect directly to it? – zhiyan114 Feb 03 '18 at 21:03

Yes. You can use the `addnode` command and option to have nodes connect to each other. You can use the `-connect` startup option to make a node only connect to another node. – Andrew Chow Feb 03 '18 at 21:07

2You can mine on it. Bitcoin Core has a built in miner specifically for regtest. Use the `generate` command. – Andrew Chow Feb 03 '18 at 22:18
