That's a dirty word. I've read that they've had to fork the testnet a couple of times because people were trying to monetise it.

The easiest place will be a testnet faucet.

https://tbtc.bitaps.com

https://bitcoinfaucet.uo1.net

Lots are empty but those claim to have some. When you're done it's considered good form to return it to the faucet.

I've sent you 0.02 tBTC already using this site, so you can send 8 more 0.01 requests: https://testnet-faucet.mempool.co/

Just google "Bitcoin testnet faucets", you'll find plenty of them.

You can see the block situation here - https://tbtc.bitaps.com/blocks

The last block found was 1 hour 20 minutes ago but it's pretty similar to Bitcoin's block generation times usually.

Here is an address with 1BTC in it. and its private key. Have fun

https://live.blockcypher.com/btc-testnet/address/mw11u88uKQcNcCscqk6HK6aBMCM88ZYGQw/ (https://live.blockcypher.com/btc-testnet/address/mw11u88uKQcNcCscqk6HK6aBMCM88ZYGQw/)

Bitcoin Address:
mw11u88uKQcNcCscqk6HK6aBMCM88ZYGQw
Private Key:
cT2z7HL8j3HoSBEHuoCBggn6R12AXBqSiQhKVeA8bh5yQvyiQf7k

It can be moved by eg. installing some testnet wallet in your (android) phone.

PS. Would have send the private key to you by PM, but the last time I put a testnet private key here it took ages before anyone took it  ;D

If you ever need a big amount of testnet coins, you can try asking this user (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1925846). I've seen him giving 5 tBTC at once and even offering to get 50-150 BTC to another user. Never pay for them tho.

actually it is the only thing that is different between bitcoin testnet and bitcoin mainnet. the difference is in difficulty, it is set in a way that it can drop to 1 if there hasn't been any blocks found for a while. this is done to help keep the testnet chain alive. but then it has been manipulated a lot which means there are times that we don't see any new blocks for a long time and then as the difficulty drops we see hundreds found within a short time.
