Damn the testnet is slow, "check you code twice, wait once"

I feel bad for asking but can someone send some testnet coins to: ms4ZVRmASRnrBdzoWTQpvnr4HVxfQppq9j. Or is there an testnet faucet?

http://tpfaucet.appspot.com/
http://testnet.mojocoin.com/

When I last used these faucets to get testnet coins, I noticed I had to wait a couple hours for them to arrive. Maybe a temporary issue. But if you try them and don't immediately receive coins, that's probably why.

No point using test, there are a lot of Alt coins that are worthless, might as well as someone to send you some

Almost all altcoins use forks of really old versions of Bitcoin with a mish-mash of (partial) exploit fix backports and are, as such, not all that similar to current versions of Bitcoin.

Hello everyone, I just wanted to know if there is an alt coin that is identical(RPC calls, transactions, etc...) to Bitcoin that I can use specifically for testing various transaction systems?
Almost all coins with the exception of one or two re-use the Bitcoin source code, so they are identical to the Bitcoin protocol. However, as suggested use testnet.

You use testnet for this. Start bitcoin(d/qt) with -testnet=1.
