No its not.  The whole point of the testnet in a box, is that it's self contained. Anything done in an TIAB would not appear on blockexplorer.

This is my actual address http://blockexplorer.com/testnet/address/mraktwQWpvLHJZo2Xxhu6dpkCbik5Qgnwr

It seems like someone else is draining your faucet.

Ah, good thing I did some screenshots:



Recognize the signature under your original post?

Also looks like the generous owner of myPe2pzHhFrdmnmrmrQkGhDzqJVfanrEqd decided to send you 790 BTC from some 57 transactions from the Faucet:

There is no way we that I took 8500 coins because my balance was 1750 coins at end of it. Oh and I was never selling your coins! I was selling my personal coins.

24k BTC has moved through your address. The Faucet lists 639 transactions from the Faucet to your address. Every single one is listed in the form, along with the amount sent to your address. Each one can be viewed on the

http://blockexplorer.com/testnet/

I understand that anyone can make the Faucet send money to your address and that the coins may have been sent away in the past.

I am just leaving the raw data out there for anyone to make the judgement they wish. I don't really care any more about this issue - the Faucet is currently at an okay state, if something like this becomes a problem again I will be adding further measurements to prevent such draining from occurring.

Thank you for draining the TestNet Faucet and trying to monetise on the free TestNet coins we are providing to be used by anyone.

http://tpfaucet.appspot.com/

If you are feeling guilty about what you did, please return the coins back to

mrhz5ZgSF3C1BSdyCKt3gEdhKoRL5BNfJV

They are worthless and nobody should be paying for them.

I only borrowed around 600 coins and all of them will be returned but the rest was mined by myself and therefore is my property.

Okay lets see, the breakdown is here:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AnjrTQkFLIXCdC1oMjA2RVNHVHh5X3dzanVpeHl4d0E&usp=sharing

You not only have drained over 8500 TestNet coins from the Faucet over 639 transaction, but even after your "repentance", you still drained 142.0707 BTC from the Faucet in 45 transactions. And that is all to a single address, and you could've created more with an ease.

So my question to you is - why should we believe that you really are sorry for your actions, and not just sorry that you got caught?

8500 Coins? Where did you get that number from? The maximum that I took was 700 coins simply because my balance was 1775 coins at the time of writing the first post.

As I've said many times before I'm sorry I didn't realize that selling testnet coins is a terrible idea.

Well, I hope you learned your lesson. Tomorrow I will look into implementing a script to see if the final balance adds up.

these coins are not worthless to developers who need the coins for testing

They are worthless, but useful. They are useful because they are worthless. If you will add value to them, they will be useless, therefore worthless.

Are we still talking about bitcoins? I think that can be applied to fiat currency. lol

I have always said that fiat was worthless until someone works for it. ah never mind.

I'm sure someone will get it out there in the internets Roll Eyes I forgive him

Where can I buy some of these "testnet" coins I am hearing about all over the web? Is it worth it? Will I be scammed? Is it all a bubble? What are they really worth? How much will they be worth by next Thursday do you think? I want to get in early!

Wow OP is the king of the douche bag kingdom.

Testnet should be easy to get so developers can test things quickly. When I get testnet I have to wait for the blocks to confirm, so I go into #bitcoin-dev and ask to swap with someone else, with me paying after the block matures.

Don't be a dick...

Exactly.

DO NOT SELL TESTNET COINS. You'll just piss off the core developers, because we'll have to waste time re-launching a new testnet to reset the chain and make the coins worthless again.

There a Fight Club "First Rule..." joke in there somewhere....


I didn't realize that selling testnet coins is a terrible idea and being a developer I understand that testnet coins should stay worthless. Again, I'm sorry guys I simply didn't realize. I hope I've redeemed myself by donating 1000 of my own coins and I promise i'm a really nice person in general.

Seeing that there is no offers and I would prefer to be in everyone's good books

And you were so close to redeeming yourself too  Undecided

Should have just left it at "I'm sorry."

I'm sorry for being a douche.I've decided to donate all of my coins to your faucet and I'm sorry for any inconvenience caused. I would prefer to be in everyone's good books so as stated above I will be donating a minimum of 900 coins.

But developers shouldn't have to PAY in order to contribute their time/energy to development. What is wrong with you?
