Where to get large amount of testnet coins? (~2.5BTC)

[kreuzditch]

Hello everyone

I need around 2.5 BTC in testnet coins. Can someone on this forum please spare some coins, I will return them once I have finished with my dev work.

On the same topic, it seems that most faucets are slowly shutting down, do you think a market will develop for testnet coins?

Thanks in advance

I guess there will be a forum user who can lent that much of testnet coins here, you just have to wait though or else try some testnet faucet site you can find a lot of it online.

Or you can try this one suggested by BitCryptex.

Why don't you create your own testnet blockchain? It will be much easier than asking a few faucets to send you that many coins. Use bitcoin-testnet-box for that. It shouldn't be difficult for you if you have a basic knowledge of Linux commands and bitcoind installed.

Most of the faucets only giveaway very small amounts of coin, which most likely covers most use cases.

I am aware of running my own local testnet and I have already done that. however I am doing some work on lightning network and i need to connect to open many channels to various nodes on the network.

I think this one used to give away up to 0.5 BTC

Additionally, a search led me to this user, he might be able to help you further if nobody else responds.
The only problem: He hasn't been online here since January. But you can check his profile and contact him through his site that is listed there > https://anycoindirect.eu/en

Hello timmy333,

We can see that you are in need for some coins on the BTC Testnet to facilitate some testing. As you stated, most of the popular faucets for TestNet are temporarily disabled because of the flooded network.
To enable you to make the necessary transactions we have just sent you 0.5 from one of our Testnet wallets. Unfortunately we cannot send you more than this since because our supply of Testnet coins is rather limited.

Good luck with your test transactions and let us know if everything worked out!


With kind regards,
The Anycoin Direct team

do you think a market will develop for testnet coins?

this happened once before some years ago but since it is "testnet" the network was simply abandoned and new one was started effectively invalidating all the coins that were being traded!

I will search tomorrow, i think i have around 0.3 bitcoin testnet, i'm not 100% sure but i will check and i will send to you, maybe you can find also some parts on faucets.

What you want to test?

Getting such high number of Bitcoins, even in testnet is becoming a chore these days. You could try the testnet box : https://github.com/freewil/bitcoin-testnet-box
If not, try sticking with low values and get your testnet coins from faucets. I am pretty sure no matter what you do, if anything that works with 0.00025 BTC would also be applicable to 2.5 BTC

PM this user (studio_mining), he has enough coins, and I think he'll give you that amount easily.
Why do you need 5BTC? I think what is done by 0.005 BTC  is done by 5 btc.
Do you need to do a lot of small transactions?

I had the same question. Realistically a 0.1 btc can be transacted at least a hundred times even with todays fees and all. But with the OP silent and gone all we can do is speculate about his intentions. Under such circumstances I think letting this thread die would be the best option.

Looking for 15-30 Testnet Bitcoin for a new application... Can anybody help us out? Happy to return some of the coins after a month and/or make a small donation.

Thanks!

There are people around here who lend out testnet coins for a small collateral.

But what do you need that many coins for?
You should be able to do all of your testing with less than 0.1 tBTC? Why do you need such a large amount?

[bit4coin]

Testing an app with third party investors. It's a bit silly to only let them buy 0.1 (test) BTC in a test system

[bit4coin]

Got them, thanks everyone!

Where do test coins come from, is there any kind of mining?

The OP makes an incorrect term. Testnet Bitcoin is abbreviated as tBTC, not BTC.

Testnet Bitcoin, theoritically has zero value, financially but people have to mine it. To mine, electricity, mining rigs are need (and of course human resources) so that there are actually input money. Consequently, tBTC has output value somewhat.

Just remember if someone try to contact you (go first with PMs) and want to sell testnet Bitcoin tBTC with value too high (of course lower than value of real Bitcoin BTC), they are scammers.

To get tBTC, you can visit some faucet pages or contact mocacinno -- who has the last faucet in the list.

You can get your testnet coins (for free, sure)
