Didn't even knew that there were web wallets for the testnet...

Send them an email, if you weren't credited.

Download Bitcoin Core and start it (either bitcoind or bitcoin-qt) with the -testnet flag. An alternative is writing testnet=1 on your bitcoin.conf file. Not sure if there's a guide, but this is pretty much it.

sync time is terrible ..


That's because it still has to download the entire testnet blockchain which is also quite large.

You could try Mycelium Testnet Wallet for mobile. Last time I checked it was OK.

If you need a wallet for desktop, I agree with what was said: your best bet (especially if you want to play with testnet a bit more) is Bitcoin-Qt in Testnet mode. There are no decent web wallets. Sync time in Testnet is not that ridiculous. My whole .bitcoin/testnet directory is less than 7GB.

Just use -testnet flag on core wallet.
Or add testnet=1 in your .conf file.

I'd hate to think people were putting a monetary value on the testnet coins.  I thought the whole idea behind the testnet was to diagnose your rig was working before switching to the main block chain?  It makes sense that users would test an online wallet (hadn't even thought of that one to be honest)  No doubt your coins will turn up once the block chain has downloaded.

Did the coins show as "pending" or "confirming" or something similar?

Multibit classic used to have an option in its multibit.properties file to work with the testnet, but I don't know if it's still working.

Hi Binford 6100,

To use the testnet, there is an option that you put in the multibit.properties configuration file.

I see you are on a Mac, so I recommend doing the following:
1) Duplicate your multibit.app to, say, multibit-testnet.app
2) In Finder, do a right click and 'Show Package Contents'.
3) Navigate to: /Contents/Resources/Java
4) If you put a 'multibit.properties' file in the Java directory that install of multibit (only) will pick it up and use it. It effecively runs in local mode and does not use your user data area.
5) Create in TextPad a file called multibit.properties and save it to the Java directory.
6) In the file add the line:
      testOrProductionNetwork=test
(case sensitive)
7) Then when you open that install of multibit you will connect to the testnet and see something like:
http://multibit.org/postImages/testnet.png

A couple of things to note:
a) I almost never use the testnet so you might run into some gotchas - let me know if you do.
b) This is the 'old' testnet (with genesis hash 0000000224b1593e3ff16a0e3b61285bbc393a39f78c8aa48c456142671f7110)
There is also a newer testnet3 (with genesis hash 000000000933ea01ad0ee984209779baaec3ced90fa3f408719526f8d77f4943) that currently there is no switch for. If you need this I can add it in - just let me know.

You can download the latest classic here.

https://multibit.org/releases/multibit-classic/multibit-classic-0.5.19/

edit

I couldn't get it to sync, it generated a testnet receive address using a multibit.properties configuration file with testOrProductionNetwork=test written in it. I don't know what it needs besides that to sync.

I'd hate to think people were putting a monetary value on the testnet coins.
One way to fix this issue is to specify a maximum block-hight for testnet chains, once the chain runs out, new blocks are no longer valid, and a new chain can start.
Nobody would assign a monetary value to something that is scheduled to collapse in a few months.

If you don't have sole and complete control over the private keys, you don't have any bitcoin!  Signature campaigns are OK, zero tolorance for spam!

This guide look quite old but easy to follow and still of use:

are there any testnet faucets?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1956996
I can create the cryptocurrency Ethereum-token for you, with any initial supply,  batch transfers, enable the owner to print new tokens,  custom currency rates (can make the token's value be backed by ether  by creating a fund that automatically sells and buys them at market value) and other features.
Full support and privacy

Only you will be able to issue it and only you will have all the copyrights!

Price is only 0.33 ETH in June 2017 (I ask you also gift me a small % of issued coins).

viber +375298563585
telegram +375298563585
gmail romanlanskoj@gmail.com

The information I need:
1) the address where your new currencies will be created and then the amount;
2) the name for your token and amount of decimals for display purposes;
3) if you need the token's value be backed by smart contract (automatically sells and buys) - write me this prices please;
4) if you want the amount of coins in circulation to change please tell it (the possibility to issue or remove your tokens from circulation);
5) also please send at least 0.05-0.1 ETH to 0x4BCc85fa097ad0f5618cb9bb5bc0AFfbAEC359B5 (or 0.33 ETH if you totally wanna prepay).

Your ETH Token will be seen like here: https://ethplorer.io/address/0x6d57fe045dcced8b289db59f66cd4354b6483d63
