Could anyone please spare some testnet coins?  I would greatly appreciate it.  Testing out new self-hosted Bitcoin payment system on a site I've developed.

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

That's not a `testnet` address.
Testnet addresses start with m, and Bitcoin addresses start with 1.

Thanks so much!  I didn't know testnet had been reset.  I'm glad -- they were getting hard to obtain.

Also, you're right, I was in a hurry and accidentally forgot to set the '-testnet' switch before I generated my address.  But I think it would have worked anyway.  In any case, I'm all set now.

Thanks again.
