Title: Testnet coins
Post by: w1R903 on August 24, 2011, 11:24:40 PM
Could anyone please spare some testnet coins?  I would greatly appreciate it.  Testing out new self-hosted Bitcoin payment system on a site I've developed.

That's not a `testnet` address.
Testnet addresses start with m, and Bitcoin addresses start with 1.

It is a testnet, it's also a Namecoin address if you want

Thanks so much!  I didn't know testnet had been reset.  I'm glad -- they were getting hard to obtain.

Also, you're right, I was in a hurry and accidentally forgot to set the '-testnet' switch before I generated my address.  But I think it would have worked anyway.  In any case, I'm all set now.

Thanks again.
