Hi, I'm looking to get a larger amount for integration testing purposes; it seems to be taking a while to accumulate a good amount at 0.01 BTC at a time, can anyone help with this?
I just need them for integration and then will return these testnet BTC coins.
Thank you!

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
or here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/how-to-use-regtest-the-definitive-guide-5268794
This should let you do any testing you need.

You can check and get testnet BTC from one for those faucets. I am not sure they are all active runnning so you need to check.

Where do test coins come from, is there any kind of mining?
Yes, they are essentially mined in the same way as Bitcoin on Mainnet... however there are mechanisms in place to make it (theoretically) "easier" to mine by resetting the difficulty from time to time... unfortunately, for whatever reason, some people like to use ASIC mining rigs on testnet which means they mine lots of blocks really quickly and then the difficulty increases dramatically again 
Testing an app with third party investors. It's a bit silly to only let them buy 0.1 (test) BTC in a test system
are they paying actual money to buy these testnet coins? if yes then it is a scam.
if no (which i'm guessing is the case here) then how come the money they pay (or whatever they use to buy) doesn't exist and is fake but the coins they receive has to be real?
besides there could be an easier way of doing this that takes a little more effort. which would be creating a new regtest per customer that wants to test the system, making the connection between the client and server and sync (it is syncing the couple of tiny blocks mined instantly) then sending them regtest coins in any amount they wish.
no matter how much testnet coins you receive, it could be gone in a single test (a user buying all) or a handful of them if you put a limit which would defeat the purpose IMO.
Where do test coins come from, is there any kind of mining?
The OP makes an incorrect term. Testnet Bitcoin is abbreviated as tBTC, not BTC.Testnet Bitcoin, theoritically has zero value, financially but people have to mine it. To mine, electricity, mining rigs are need (and of course human resources) so that there are actually input money. Consequently, tBTC has output value somewhat.
Just remember if someone try to contact you (go first with PMs) and want to sell testnet Bitcoin tBTC with value too high (of course lower than value of real Bitcoin BTC), they are scammers.
To get tBTC, you can visit some faucet pages or contact mocacinno -- who has the last faucet in the list.

Looking for 15-30 Testnet Bitcoin for a new application... Can anybody help us out? Happy to return some of the coins after a month and/or make a small donation.
There are people around here who lend out testnet coins for a small collateral.
But what do you need that many coins for?
You should be able to do all of your testing with less than 0.1 tBTC? Why do you need such a large amount?
I need around 2.5 BTC in testnet coins. Can someone on this forum please spare some coins, I will return them once I have finished with my dev work.
Hit me up if you still need those testnet coins... I should be able to loan you a couple for testing

Sent PM maybe able to help
carefull with this guy big scammer
PM this user (studio_mining), he has enough coins, and I think he'll give you that amount easily.
Why do you need 5BTC? I think what is done by 0.005 BTC is done by 5 btc.
Do you need to do a lot of small transactions?

I had the same question. Realistically a 0.1 btc can be transacted at least a hundred times even with todays fees and all. But with the OP silent and gone all we can do is speculate about his intentions. Under such circumstances I think letting this thread die would be the best option.

Getting such high number of Bitcoins, even in testnet is becoming a chore these days. You could try the testnet box : https://github.com/freewil/bitcoin-testnet-box
If not, try sticking with low values and get your testnet coins from faucets. I am pretty sure no matter what you do, if anything that works with 0.00025 BTC would also be applicable to 2.5 BTC

Hello everyone
I need around 2.5 BTC in testnet coins. Can someone on this forum please spare some coins, I will return them once I have finished with my dev work.
On the same topic, it seems that most faucets are slowly shutting down, do you think a market will develop for testnet coins?
