Title: Obtaining Testnet BTC for Bitmex
Post by: dingoyabuki on May 12, 2020, 07:27:42 AM
Hi all,

I am looking for a way to obtain 2.5 testnet BTC for the purpose of trading on Bitmex's testnet.
They have a stupid rule where if you make too many orders under 0.0025 BTC, you get labeled as a "spam account" and face repercussions.

I'm trying to test a strategy for a bot I wrote involving executing many trades using small portions of my balance. I'm able to run it currently with leverage, but with leverage I have to worry about the risk of liquidation.

All the faucets I've found only provide up to 0.01 testnet BTC, and most don't work properly.

Does anyone know how I can obtain 2.5 testnet BTC? Mining isn't really an option for me.
I'd be willing to even buy testnet BTC. I wouldn't pay much. Probably $50 USD at most.
Also, it'd have to be distributed between 5 wallets, as I created 5 accounts to bypass their dumb "200 open orders" rule.
