I need test bitcoins for development and I cant get them.

If somebody has unused test bitcoins, please send little amount (~0.2) to address 2N1diNSGunE5FjKN57YfppR5PhpXt34RJuN

You already received more than 2 tBTC in your address. The problem is that they didn't confirm yet (for some reason).

Of course I know that I have unconfirmed transactions.

If transaction with 0.1 btc fee

is not processed for 1 day - most likely something is really wrong with testnet.
That is one of my questions.

Testnet seems to be getting spammed/stress tested/whatever. The transaction paid a 0.1BTC fee, but it's 7.5kb, so it's actual fee per byte isn't as high. I don't know how much the spam transactions are paying in fees, but they're probably higher than what that transaction paid.

OP, I sent you 0.5 tBTC. https://www.blocktrail.com/tBTC/tx/f13fc07f9906c8d6094d7d5e0a830e0f38fc187c6a9c73fcab774e47f117a38a
Donate them to a testnet faucet when you're done.
