Hello crypto developers and people who love the testnet! I have recently created the Testnet Faucet ( https://testnet-faucet.com) and I'm going to be making a mining pool for multiple coins with a testnet like Bitcoin and Litecoin. Why you may ask? I am doing this as I see many people have asked about pooled mining on the testnet and so far I have only found a mining pool for the Bitcoin testnet and that's only one pool! Pool specs: - I'm using YIIMP as the backend (I'm going to customize it to give it more zing lol)
- Multi-coin support (I plan on supporting tBTC, tLTC, tDOGE, and tBCH upon official launch of the pool)
- Low fees! 2% fees across all algos to simulate real pool fees on the mainnet! (Fees will go back into my faucet)
- Server is running Ubuntu18.04 and is on a static IP with the latest hardware!/li]
Pool: https://testnetpool.comCoins supported: - Testnet Bitcoin
- Testnet Litecoin
- Testnet Dogecoin
- Testnet Groestlcoin (coming soon)
- Testnet Viacoin (coming soon)
- Testnet Digibyte [scrypt] (coming soon)
Feel free to post or message me if you have a coin with a testnet that you would like to see on the pool! |

Thank you for letting me know, I've fixed the issue and it may seem like it's offline because there's no one at the time that's mining it on the pool. |

I can't connect to the pool at all.
Getting the " Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at testnetpool.com." error
Did it crash or are you working on it?
If you are having issues I might be able to help I am running a yiimp pool now and have had a few other small pools up in the past.

I apologise about the downtime, something happened while I was adding tGRS to the pool and it crashed and won't startup again. I am rebuilding the pool again and backing it up. I plan on having it running again today! |

I plan on having it running again today! Still down or it's down again, I can not get to it at all. I'm starting to do some work on the pool I am running and was going to point my miners here for now instead of just doing some lottery / solo mining. -Dave |

Something broke in the code and I've been fixing the issue for the last day and a half, the pool should be back online today hopefully! I'll post an update once the pool is working again! Also, do you have any coins that you would like to see on the pool? |

I can't think of any coins that I need testnet for.
If I am playing around I usually just do regtest coins.
But, I do know some people want the "real testnet" coins and figured instead of having my miners sit idle (or on a lottery solo pool) while working on my pool I would help the cause a bit.

Awesome! It should be working as I've fixed the stratum servers. Is there a specific coin you would like to see on the pool? |

May I ask if this pool will ever come back online or if it is known if there are some alternatives? I need larger amounts of testnet Coins since I want to do a lot of testing and this makes it way easier, but I understand that the usual coin faucet one give away so many tBTC. |

Hey I have some dust of tBTC in my wallet. Wanted to send them to a faucet but never took the time to do the transaction for now. If you want I can send it to you |
