SENT! In larger amounts too, to the people who posted TESTNET addresses. I also refilled TP's faucet. :-)

Need some for testnet3 network for testing and http://tpfaucet.appspot.com/ doesn't seem to be functioning.

http://tpfaucet.appspot.com/ is now functioning very well.

What I think would work out well is if testnet 4 were released. testnet 3 could be picked up by a dev team. Who could work with the btc dev team as far as sharing information. it could be relabelled as TN3 or something. It would be an experimentation coin. If they communicated with the btc devs they could try out ideas on tn3 where there would be sufficient hashrate and community support. If it goes well some features could be implemented in bitcoin. I firmly believe a new altcoin should not be created if it's features could instead be implemented into bitcoin but there needs to be a good testing ground with large hashrate and lots of active trading/transactions
That is a really good idea, and maybe the ideal way of doing it. I was a big supporter of terracoin because I thought it would be a good way for people to develop ideas on an alt-coin and merge them back into bitcoin. However that didn't quite work out.
What you guys will do with these test coins?
I would think the only way a dev team would get behind it is if there already was an innovation to be tested. This is all on the thought that testnet 4 were released.
If there was nothing to be tested the "coin" would be pointless. Im just saying it would be nice to have a coin so similar to bitcoin with a large hashrate and lots of transactions to really test out Ideas.

So you want an altcoin which is just Bitcoin+op codes? (for now)

It's true, I am probably arguing an irrelevant point at the moment, but it would be really nice to see more work go back into bitcoin rather then x-alt-coin. 
I would like just to see the threat of an arbitrary testnet reset taken away so that the network can go in whatever direction it might.
But that would completely defeat the purpose of testnet.The whole point of testnet is having no value, if you want to test something that might have value, use an altcoin...
There is no need to fear, if the testnet develops value the devs will likely reset it if it becomes a problem.
Testnet is not for storing value

This subforum is full of the experiences of trying with an altcoin. Energy gets needlessly frittered away with dealing with attacks, poor code, poor updates, patches, etc... In the end it's an exercise of reinventing the wheel but no one ever gets around to building a better cart. Also, the lessons learned on alt-coins never get filtered back into Bitcoin. It's like slaving away in a bubble that when it pops- it just disappears and no one cares.
Testnet is unique in that it is a near clone of bitcoin, managed by the bitcoin devs. If we could pool this talent and energy that is going any-which-way down here in Alt-coin land into the testnet we would have a greater chance to work together to improve Bitcoin. As it stands these two communities nearly hate each other, and even if there was knowledge that could be shared, ego's prevent even that.
The idea is that testnet has advanced Bitcoin features that no-one is testing thoroughly enough for them to ever be incorporated into main-net Bitcoin.
