Title: Not receving Bitcoins to my testnet wallet
Post by: jgmBitcoin on May 10, 2016, 11:35:24 PM
I am running the bitcoinj wallettemplate on testnet3. I have this address miAKWcmebJ7TYyZCYUx54djHsatVGdNZA8 , I tried out some websites which sends me testnet coins (Faucet). But I am not receiving any. ? What I am I doing wrong ?

Is your wallet synced fully? Check a testnet block explorer and see if there is a record of your transaction in the blockchain. Blocktrail.com works good for looking up testnet transactions. Maybe you used a faucet that sends every hour or something similar.

Edit: Checked on blocktrail.com (https://www.blocktrail.com/tBTC/address/miAKWcmebJ7TYyZCYUx54djHsatVGdNZA8), and there aren't any transactions. How many testnet coins do you need? I can send you a few, as long as you return them after. I tried claiming on a testnet faucet after you posted this and I got my testnet coins.

Thanks a lot. At last I found this one https://accounts.blockcypher.com/testnet-faucet this was the only one which was working.
I tested on some coins and send them back. Thanks anyways for the help.  :)
