Title: Need a couple of TTC to test a potential bug.
Post by: btc_artist on November 21, 2011, 08:09:26 PM
Not sure if this is the right place for this....

Can anyone send me a couple of testnet bitcoins? I think I see a possible bug with transactions and I'd like to test it.  Alternatively, is it possible to CPU mine on testnet and get a couple of coins without waiting forever?

Thanks.

http://testnet.freebitcoins.appspot.com/  has 11,000 testnet coins available.

Does anyone know if gen=1 in bitcoin.conf works in 0.5 on testnet?  It doesn't seem to do anything as far as I can tell.  What I want to do is generate a block so my test transactions get included in the block chain. :)

Yes, it aught to work (for bitcoind, at least-- I haven't tested with bitcoin-qt).  getinfo will tell you if it is working (look at "hashespersec").

You might want to run a testnet-in-a-box, it is 60 time easier to generate blocks on it:
