Hello

I am asking for a volunteer to help me test my first BTC transactions by transferring an insignificant amount to my address 171AKdfWqFUngTqnAzN1tXLvq9LKJzanFL. Of course, I promise to transfer it right back if you want me to.

Thanks for your help.

Use faucets. Its the only thing they are good for.

Thank you Wusolini for helping. I'll take your advice (I only need to select the least suspect one).

No such thing as insignificant amount of bitcoin.

Use microwallet faucets. There are plenty of them so you can reach payout limit within half hour.
Find some faucet rotator like e.g. landofbitcoin

Thanks again. Being curious, and wanting to understand what a faucet is about, I googled "business model of bitcoin faucet" and happened to find a very recent article in bitcoinmagazine about it. I thought I'd share it with you and others who read this thread.

I think it's ok to post links here, so: http://bitcoinmagazine.com/18137/bitcoin-faucets-in-trouble/

Thanks bitkilo for your response! I suppose it could be argued that the amount of 1 satoshi is insignificant, at least if you consider what purchasing power it has today. But I sense that you have a different perspective upon it. It would be very interesting if you'd elaborate.

If those faucets aren't enough for ya you can check the gambling sites like primedice.com (http://primedice.com/play) or any other hit their faucet, try your luck with a right way you can get it upto the minimum withdrawal limit i think. Maybe not the best idea but better than asking here lol good luck.  :)

Asking for a deposit most likely will not help get anything.  Buy some btc, or think about selling goods and services.

If i send you a small amount do you agree to send it back including the 0.0001 transaction fee i have to pay straight away?
Its ok to do once off but don't get into the habit of very small transactions as they just spam the blockchain.

Ah, there is a transaction fee too. I have a lot to learn.

I close this thread and continue the discussion in a pm directly to you.

Thanks to all who responded.

That's what faucets are for.. getting used to Bitcoins and transactions + fees + wallet addresses etc..

It's easy, Just create two wallets. And transfer BTC among them. Why need the help of anyone.

Have you tried creating two addresses in the same wallet and just transfer bitcoins from address A to address B? In that way, you will feel secure and you don't need to ask help from others. Or you can just get from the faucets and try sending those amount to your address.

Check of landofbitcoins.com, It has a huge list of faucets and keeps rotating them, so all you have to do is keep that address of yours in the clipboard and keep pasting it on the sites that come up and type captchas, you'll get the minimum amount needed for a withdrawal very soon and then you can see if your address works or not.

You could try http://coinbin.net (http://coinbin.net) to test BTC transactions.  :)

you can get small amounts of bitcoin from faucets but when you want to send it or spend this amount you have to pay bigger amount of fee for it

If I read OP right, he has no bitcoin to start with, and that's why Wusolini suggests him to try faucets.
