List of Testnet BTC Faucet

[Little Mouse]

With testnet BTC, you can try different things but you have to remember that testnet BTC can never be sold to anyone. It has no monetary value at all. I have made this list of available testnet faucets so that some users may get help.
1. https://testnet-faucet.mempool.co
2. https://tpfaucet.appspot.com (Not working)
3. https://coinfaucet.eu/btc-testnet
4. https://tbtc.bitaps.com
5. http://kuttler.eu/bitcoin/btc/faucet/
6. http://bitcoinfaucet.uo1.net/
I will update this list if I get more. Share me more btc testnet faucet please.

Always give back the testnet BTC, let help others. Testnet BTC has no monetary value.

Why?

"please come back in an hour or three"

They just do not have any balance right now...

I don't know if number 1 is legit because I've requested a few times from there before and nothing was sent to my testnet address.
Maybe out of funds that time? Now, it's just "internal server error".

For the record, I've received quite a few from number 3 for lightning network tests but it's closed for now.

mocacinno has his own testnet faucet: https://tbtc.mocacinno.com/ (bct thread)

It's legit, I've used them before. It might be a technical issue, because looking at their giveback/donation address, you can see that funds are still being sent to other addresses they control:

Anyone managed to get faucet #2 to work? It keeps saying "Bad Repatcha" even though there is no captcha to solve.

It is a technical issue I think too. It worked one or two month back for me but it is not working here also. I need to decorate the thread with such information like if it is working or not, how much they give etc.

It is same here. I thought it works. I just have tried. I am updating the thread.

  is testnet btc is just for the developing any projects or is it for those who are new to the bitcoin blockchain and trying to send btc by using the segwit. Although , i have experience about the ethereum testnet . But i don't have the clear knowledge of btc testnet or testnet faucet(I know faucet where users will get a little bit of statoshi in return of solving any recaptcha or verifing being human). I will be really thankfull if anyone help me out.

Anything. It's basically a worthless Bitcoin which you can get for free. You can use it to just play around sending from one wallet to the other, test your website, software, wallet, etc... if you want to use it to test BTC, segwit or a wallet software, you can.

Not only testing segwit but also to test sending funds to multiple people with one transaction. Who don't care or fear when doing mutliple-in-one transaction for the first time? You can lose money if doing something wrong. Testnet can help you to practice it.

I need at least 1.32 tBTC for testing. Anyone kind enough to lend me some? Cheers.

Try and reach out to mocacinno... he has a faucet thread setup here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5223320.0

I do know that a month or 2 ago he was offering to "lend" people larger amounts of tBTC if they gave him collateral that would enable him to buy hashing power to re-mine the loaned tBTC if they didn't return the tBTC when they were finished with it:

What would you need 50 testnet coins for, that 0.50 or 0.05, or 0.005 will not suffice? I don't have that much either, but you can always get from the many faucets a small amount. It's for testing, the amount should not matter.

But I'd like to also know if there are any other ways of acquiring such amount of testnet coins other than mining them.

Nope, you either run in regtest mode, or you mine tBTC...

Sometimes 0.5 tBTC does not suffice, for example: if you're designing a mixer... You'll need a lot of tBTC in order to do a proper taint analysis.

@OP: I run a faucet: https://tbtc.mocacinno.com and i've given tBTC as a loan in the past. I have > 50 tBTC (but most are on my hardware wallet at home, so i can't access them for another 3 hours)
However : since you're a newbie, i would require sufficient collateral for such a loan. The collateral should be sufficient to rent hashrate from miningrigrentals and mine >50 tBTC in case your run off.
To tell you the truth, the diff on the testnet is still very high and the block reward is ~0.39 tBTC, so i'm afraid it'll be a lot of collateral to loan 50 tBTC.

IF you're interested: i'm willing to use a trusted forum escrow to hold the collateral, no intrest, but ALL fees are payed by you (including the fees to transfer the collateral to me or the escrow, and the fees to transfer the collateral back to you). Please do not PM me, but post anything on this very thread... I don't like to hide in PM's, telegram, mails,...

That offer is just as valid today as it was a couple months ago

Basically, if you're somebody i know and trust i'll lend you as much tBTC as you'd need (within reasonable limits) without collateral or interest. If i don't know you and you have a legit usecase for the tBTC i'll lend you as much as you'd need without interest but i still require enough real BTC as collateral to re-mine the tBTC in case you'd default PLUS something extra to give you an incentive to return the tBTC instead of using me as an easy way to have somebody mining tBTC for you. If you don't default you'd get the collateral back (minus transaction and escrow fees).

I haven't looked at the testnet diff in a couple of weeks, but the block reward did halve, so if you're interested in loaning tBTC as a newbie/junior member, i'll have to re-calculate the required collateral.

I know some have criticized me for asking collateral, but if i'd lend out tBTC to newbies without asking any collateral, i'd end up with an empty tBTC wallet and i could just shut down my faucet altogether. tBTC is worthless, but that doesn't mean it's free to mine, so if i loan out tBTC and you default, i need some real BTC to mine tBTC to replenish my faucet's wallet...

last month ago going well, today I got "request failed" using that services.

I found this one: https://testnet.qc.to/

Until today, always request failed.
And for https://testnet-faucet.mempool.co/, that is once an hour, and I try always error and ends whith Error: limits exceeded notification, even I last used it more than 2 hours ago and always enter captcha correctly.
And I found this https://www.blockstack.org/testnet/faucet, but I haven't tracked it down further, because there are no transaction details there.

Maybe there's too many people that use their services so it always so that error. Maybe you could have a better chance if you request it exactly at the time they reset the wd limits, but I don't think it is worth the effort.

why waste so much time on one faucet when all you need is a single successful claim of any amount of testnet coins? if one faucet doesn't work just use the next and get on with your "testing"!
and like always if you feel you need more coins then you are doing something wrong and must rethink or "tests". and there is also always regtest that can and should be used instead of testnet in some particular cases.

Yes, I need more BTC testnet, and from that faucet provider (https://testnet-faucet.mempool.co/), which gets the large amount in one claim. BTW, I tried it again today, and it works smoothly. It takes a lot time to collect from several faucets with a small claim value, so I try discuss this.

may i know what is it that you are testing that requires so much testnet coins that you can't test in a different way like what i mentioned in my previous comment?

[gentlemand]

Can anyone enlighten me as to why test coins are so hard to come by? There should be millions of them flying gaily around. Is everyone secretly hoping they'll be worth something some day?
