I'm really excited to explore and test tBTC, and I'd love to get my hands on some for my BTC testnet wallet. If you're open to it, would you mind sending a small amount my way? It'll help me dive into the project and provide valuable feedback.

Thanks a bunch! 🚀

Sent you 0.01 tBTC. I hope they are enough.  Smiley

Thanks a lot, BlackHatCoiner it is more than enough  Wink

I hope this is a worthless token; testnet bitcoins are worthless themselves. As far as I can see, it is an Ethereum token which is based on the Bitcoin blockchain. I had read about it in this thread, but it still hasn't convinced me it has to go through Ethereum and can't just built itself in a second layer. Smells like the creators wanna make a few quick bucks.

I just recently jumped into retroactive airdrop  Grin I found a local group on Telegram that people can make from 1K - 200K to do the airdrop and usually the task is quite simple just try out their testnet and etc.
and some communities said we only need to do a bridge a couple of times to be eligible.

and yeah I just read your thread and it can be a worthless token and NotATether in my opinion was right about this

And for a second layer to be successful, it needs an ecosystem around it, which is only possible by quickly gaining adoption.

But just try my luck here  Grin

Sent you 0.01 tBTC. I hope they are enough.  Smiley

The reason is quite simple I hear there will be an airdrop for people who use this platform https://testnet.svmscan.io/ and details can be found here https://boxmining.com/satoshivm-savm-token-airdrop-guide/

Hey guys,

I have been hunting around for a faucet and ended up here as it seems most do not work.

I was hoping to get some tbtc for testing with SatoshiVM but so far don't even have enough to bridge.

Would anyone be kind enough to send me some please?

My address is tb1q5xnkt2yx8q6zk8qgfspnx7ej6hynv2hyaljquv

0.01 would be more than enough.

sent in transaction https://blockstream.info/testnet/tx/1c35ec85c77d18de21f3da3ebe9b3f5364aef45b523ad1c033c815159e90bbc6

Informational message from now on

From now on, i'll be giving enough tBTC to test out "normal" stuff on the testnet... Since the average fee is 1 sat/vbyte, you'll need about 150-300 sats to pay the fee for a transaction, that's 0.000003 tBTC. I figure normal tests require about 10 transactions, which equals 0.00003 tBTC in fees. This amount, plus some value to transact without running into the dust limit made me decide to give out 0.0005 tBTC to people asking for it when they only give a minimal explanation (from now on).

If you want more, make a clear case: what are you actually planning on doing, why do you need more than 0.0005 tBTC, why can't you use regtest. You don't need to harm your privacy, but i'll need more info than just the basics

I'll also be batching payments (if possible) and i will not give any guarantees... If i suspect you from abusing the tBTC i gave you, or if i suspect there's a high chance you'll spam, or if i'm just not @ the office for a couple of days/weeks, or i forget or overlook applications, no payments won't go out.

Hi, it would be greatly appreciated if you could send me some tBTC so I can test for the purposes of creating documentation around sending BTC programmatically using a library like bitcoinjs-lib.

address:

mjt7zw6grpdSpEkCqLeUMma9EFH1ESk3wp


Kindly send enough for testing purposes. I haven't had success using existing bitcoin faucets i found online, so hoping this is a solution!
Sure... How much do you need? If it's just a couple hundred transactions with a fee of 1 sat/vbyte and some value... 0.01 tBTC sufficient?

I already sent him 0.1tBTC the other day; that should probably suffice for testing the stuff he described above.

Amount: .1 tBTC
Address: mjt7zw6grpdSpEkCqLeUMma9EFH1ESk3wp
Project: For purposes of creating a tutorial around sending Bitcoin transactions programmatically
Sent! Use the return address from OP whenever you're done. Good luck with your project. Smiley

I remember that someone else (I thought it was BlackHatCoiner; but can't find such a thread by him) also had a 'faucet'
Ironically, the testnet bitcoin I'm giving in my faucet have been sent to me by mocaccino. True, I wanted to test some stuff with the lightning network (and even setup a faucet at some point), and I asked him for a price (because I remembered that he's selling for a time). Fortunately, he gave them for free. 

I saw your post in the other thread. mocaccino's faucet seem more active. If you want to donate testnet bitcoin to a faucet, better do it to his.

Hey there; I am mining some tBTC currently and was wondering whether you need some for your faucet.
I've also been looking for another thread to be honest, which I can't find - maybe you can help me. I remember that someone else (I thought it was BlackHatCoiner; but can't find such a thread by him) also had a 'faucet', but forum-based - so it was not an automated technical solution like yours - and wanted to offer coins as well. Maybe you remember who it was, that would be great!

Hi Mocaccino and to others who have big amounts of test bitcoins....If you could spare me some for my testing I would be glad. I tried Mocaccino's faucet, however it is just giving out very small amounts. I need around 20, but the more the merrier. I will send them back after my test.

bitcoin test address: 2MxXi7jjGQiR1wsFSZy2KxRV6TA4Teod6qB

Thanks!

Try using regtest to generate as much TESTNET BTC as you need.
It only takes a few seconds to be done because it's a preset low difficulty.

More information / detailed instructions here: https://bitcoin.org/en/developer-examples#regtest-mode

This should let you do any testing you need.

-Dave

Defenately... If regtest suits your needs, i'd go with it... Regtest should cover ~90% of the usecases (just my gut feeling, not an actual study).
As for natsu_dev's request, i barely have enough tBTC to fund my faucet as it stands, so i can no longer part with them anymore.

I recently tried to help a couple guys that were in need of some tBTC, and i found out there are only a handfull of relatively stable tBTC faucets out there... That's why i decided to take a stab at making one myself:

https://tbtc.mocacinno.com/

Following things are "features", not bugs:
  • it has a lot of ads: i'll use part of the ad income and/or tips to rent some hashrate (or buy an old ASIC) an mine some tBTC to fill the faucet's wallet. The rest of the tips will go to hosting costs and electricity costs while mining... If the faucet ever runs completely dry, and there is no income or tBTC donations, the project will stop...
  • it's behind cloudflare: it's only tBTC... Don't use it to do anything illegal because big brother might be watching
  • it's ugly: i'm not a designer
  • it only pays once per hour: i'm trying not to waste tBTC in fees since the hashrate on the testnet is relatively high, so tBTC isn't that easy to mine
  • it's missing some security headers: it's only a tbtc faucet... I didn't put much effort into securing it
  • it's loading external content: it's only a tbtc faucet... I didn't put much effort into securing it

If you run into any other bugs or potential weaknesses, let me know Smiley

What could you do with tBTC?
  • Use it when you develop a new script/app/...
  • Use it to test the lightning network
  • Use it as a learning tool: there are loads of tBTC wallets (including, but not limited to: hardware wallets, desktop wallets, mobile wallets and paper wallets). Point newbies towards these when they have the need to learn how to perform certain actions in a risk-free environment

Wow. I didn't know the block reward was already THAT low in testnet  Undecided

Do you have an address for donating extra coins? I should have a little less than 4 coins somewhere.

Testnet coins being hard to get defeats the whole purpose of testnet. Don't you think it would be a good time to reset the whole testnet (or just start a new one on a side), so that anyone can play with it as much as they want. Or are we "testing" what will happen when block rewards end altogether?

What would be needed to start a new testnet and make it public? Just one machine mining it and keeping it alive? And a faucet for the coins. And maybe a block explorer for it.
Running a new testnet and a faucet would be cheaper than mining the "old" testnet.

I don't thing anyone would have any reason to oppose having a sizeable pre-mine for the faucet, say 1M coins. (since they are worthless)
 
Yup, the block reward is THAT low  Sad
To be honest, i've already taught the same thing a couple of times: maybe it's time to reset the testnet again... It's a TESTnet afterall, people need tBTC for tests, and it's a bummer if they can't just CPU mine some tBTC. I have no idear why people insist on running old ASIC's on the testnet to begin with. The stash of tBTC i currently have was CPU mined a long time ago, but nowadays is simply impossible. That's why i need all those adds/affiliate links/begging for tips/donating cpu power/..., i simply need to either rent some hashrate from miningrigrentals or buy an old asic (an S7 or something) if i want to replenish my faucet, and i don't want to pay these costs out of my own pocket.

As for a donation address for tBTC: sure Smiley
This address was generated by my testnet node, the one running the testnet hot wallet, so all donations go directly into funding the faucet: 2NBsursJUfmepDu3WT7GBRLrL6AdHSPC9V4

--snip--
Maybe bitcointalk should launch a campaign to ask people to send back their tBTC to faucets...  Undecided
50 000 sats by claim I think it's the same amount you could earn on "mainnet" faucets few years ago  Embarrassed

Yeah, i realise 50.000 is a tad low... It should be sufficient for a couple basic tests tough... I dont think you need more tBTC if you're trying out creating a testnet paper wallet and sweeping it in testnet electrum, or setting up a testnet lightning wallet, or testing out some basic json-rpc calls on your testnet node... However, i realise that if you want to test a new mixing algorithm, 50.000 tSat is just dust.

I do plan on increasing the claim amount in the future, after i see if this model is self-sustainable.

A campaign to urge devs to send the tBTC back to one of the working testnet faucets would be great... I do think most people will have lost the funds, or they'll just ignore such questions... But if only a few devs would do this, it would probably make a huge difference.

--snip--
i was thinking the same when i found out about the current reward, but you have to realize that testnet difficulty drops to minimum quite often and miners can potential burst mine lots of blocks to get a lot of reward in total.

additionally there currently are at least half a dozen working testnet faucets that pay from 100k to 1 mil satoshi per claims that are ranging from 15 min to 12 hours. these amounts are more than enough for majority of tests that developers want to perform.
for anything that requires any higher amounts (which are extremely rare cases) they can always run their own testnet using a self contained network (eg. testnet in a box) and run their tests.

Half a dozen seems about right, I found 6 (including mine), that's why i created this one, testnet faucets are important, they give people a no-risk tool to develop and learn.

The testnet difficulty is peculiar. It drops to 1 if no block has been found for 20 minutes. However, if the difficulty retargets after the the diff has been dropped to 1, it'll stay 1 for 2016 blocks, than it'll double for 2016 blocks, then it'll double again,...
However, if you're cpu mining, and you're competing against an ASIC, this just doesn't matter. The asic will find thousands of blocks (difficulty 1) before you've found only 1 (with your CPU). Sure, mining moves faster, but you still need a decent hashrate if you want to mine some tBTC.

The regtest is great, but it's not really a network. It's fine for debugging your json-rpc api calls, but most of the time i used it, it did not suffice for "real world" simulations, so you actually do need the test network for that...
