Looking for BTC Testnet wallet.

[mocacinno]

Here's some stats from my testnet node:

Code:

~/.bitcoin/testnet3# du -sh *
4.0K    banlist.dat
4.0K    bitcoind.pid
27G     blocks
1.3G    chainstate
1.5M    database
4.0K    db.log
562M    debug.log
244K    fee_estimates.dat
36K     mempool.dat
2.7M    peers.dat
2.5M    wallet.dat
1.4M    wasabi_wallet.dat

Code:

~/.bitcoin/testnet3/blocks# find ./ -type f -name 'blk*.dat' -exec du -ch {} + | grep total$
24G     total

Code:

~/.bitcoin/testnet3/blocks# find ./ -type f -name 'rev*.dat' -exec du -ch {} + | grep total$
2.8G    total

Code:

/.bitcoin/testnet3/blocks/index# du -sh .
333M    .

As for OP's question:

• electrum can be run on testnet
• wasabi can be run on testnet
• bitcoin core can be run on testnet
• a local copy of coinb.in can be run on testnet
• armory can be run on testnet
• btcd can be run on testnet
• knots can be run on testnet
• a local copy of bitaddress.org can be run on testnet

Take your pick
I guess the wallet you pick depends on the tutorial you want to give... Electrum is SPV and has a lot of coin controll options, wasabi has that built in privacy (including a coinjoin gui), core has even more features than electrum and it's a full node, coinb.in has an easy gui to learn the basics of tx creation, armory is built on top of bitcoind, btcd and knots have a little bit different feature set, bitaddress.org teaches about the many representation ways of keys,...

I am preparing to give live video courses for newbies about how btc blockchain works. I am willing to use btc testnet network and was looking for a friendly-use btc testnet wallet.
I don't want to use testnet network in one of the popular wallet just to avoid confusions.
I came accross this wallet app but it seems to be complicated more than a real btc wallet: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.schildbach.wallet_test&hl=en&gl=US
It gives just one recieving address without having access to seed/private keys/...etc

Do you know any btc testnet wallet for mobile/desktop (not web-wallet) ?
It would be nice if you can give more helpful advices.

Thank you all

Thanks for the illustration. I think this your advice will go along way to help us to keep our money safe in our wallet.

-snip- if you could, check the rev files and see how much space they take and only sum the blk***.dat file sizes to see if it is closer to 23.6 or not.

Thank you for your guidance. The following are the file size for each file type:

   
1. blk*.dat file sizes
2. rev*.dat file sizes
3. /blocks/index sizes

It seems that the total blk * .dat file size is still larger than 23.6 GB (~ 1.7 GB).
