Hi,

I was able to request and receive some BTC on testnet, from a faucet, using Bitcoin Core, and I read that I should return the BTC to the faucet after I don't need it, but I was wondering, how do I do that?

The faucet website has this on it:

Donate:
Bitcoin testnet

Replenish the faucet:
tb1qt0lenzq....dhqp4c

Do I just send the BTC back to the tb1qt0lenzq....dhqp4c address?

Thanks,
Jim

Hi,

I am trying to setup and initialize Bitcoin Core v0.21.0 with Testnet on CENTOS 8.

The first time I ran:

./bitcoin-qt -testnet

I pointed to a dir, /data/mybitcoindir, and I think it was actually running all right, but there was some problem with my machine (I am running this on a VirtualBox VM) and I think the screen went black after awhile and I could not get it to wake up, so I couldn't finish the setup ...

So after I disabled the screen blanking, deleted the entire bitcoin dir and untar the tar.gz again, deleted the /data/mybitcoindir directory contents, and tried re-running it and it loaded the entire blockchain(?) but then it said there was no wallet.

So I was wondering, is there a way to re-run the "bitcoin-qt -testnet" again?  What else do I need to get the files back to the point before when I ran that the 1st time?

I noticed that there is a /root/.config/Bitcoin dir, so I am about to try deleting that dir, and then re-running, but meanwhile, I was hoping someone here might know?

Thanks,
Jim

P.S.  I know that I can probably blow away the entire VM and start again with a clean CENTOS 8, but it took me a while getting that setup working, so would prefer not to have to do that.  Also, I know I should've taken a snapshot before starting the bitcoin install, but it's too late for that now ...
