Thanks for the info/link, that should be good enough to get started.

Hi, newbie here, just got the bitcoin-qt/multibit clients compiled from source, sync'ed up from the network, ready to do some tinkering. I haven't got all the buying/exchange figured out yet. So here's a request: can someone please denote a few fractions for testing? I promise to send back.   Thanks, the address is ADDRESSES REMOVED

Actually is this a good idea? can we have a few "publicly available" coins for testing purposes? How to manage that?



MOD NOTE:
Removed addresses as this is the user's second post and they're asking for coins

Hi, new to bitcoin here. I've managed to download and compile both the bitcoin-qt and multicoin java program, both work fine except the initial sync with bitcoin-qt took quite sometime, also I don't like multicoin putting the configuration in ~/Multicoin/, maybe I can set it to go somewhere else? I see there is an android wallet, is there an iPhone wallet already? Thanks.
