Title: Need Test-Net Bitcoins
Post by: mnemonix on April 20, 2013, 08:11:45 AM
Hi all,

does someone have some testnet-bitcoins he could send me?

I know, I could generate some on the testnet but it would take quite a time to get enough confirmations in order to use them:

Quote
The classic bitcoin client won't show generated coins as confirmed until the 120th block.

My address: mi21Tg2i2j6sjnVgExX5tYw8Yc71rDEqqy

Thank you very much in advance!

Thomas

There's also a Testnet Faucet at https://tpfaucet.appspot.com/, as well as a simple web-based hosted testnet wallet.

There is a mention of resetting TestNet.  Does they change the root or something?

I meant "do they change".  So, I can take that as a yes?

This is why I use Terracoins. Confirmations are way faster which makes things much easier. When you are done just switch terracoind with bitcoind.

They did this once (or twice), that's not that often

But you must buy them
