testnet bitcoins?

[randomuser22]

hey all, i was looking to see if anyone can sell/send me some testnet btc. i am new and would love to use these to test some things out. I am looking for around 10 btc. thanks all

Just run signet instead of testnet. By using signet challenge set to OP_TRUE, you can even mine it. Another possible way is using regtest, but that should be used only locally.

Maybe also that one, if you still want it: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5200440.0

Thank you for your quick response. Can you please explain how to do any of that? Thank you and sorry to sound extra noobish.

There is a list of testnet Bitcoin faucets here on the forum you can check them from this link below

10 testnet BTC is a big amount I don't know if you can get them easily by claiming it free from the faucet it would be much easier to get tBTC if you mine them instead with -regtest
and use Bitcoin_Testnet_Box(Guide included).

Will I be able to send the tBTC to a ledger nano wallet testnet after doing this?

Tell us what exactly are you trying to test that requires 10BTC and can not be done with something smaller like what the faucets pay? Maybe we can help you out better that way.

BTW here is a guide on how to use regtest https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5268794.0

First, which client are you using?
In Bitcoin Core, just start with with extra parameter -chain=<chain> with either "regtest" or "signet" chain.

I'd recommend you to use Regtest since generating any amount there is easy.
You can mine coins in seconds using the command generatetoaddress <number of blocks> <address> <maxtries>
e.g.: generatetoaddress 101 bcrt1qsql8mk5839hs7rt4pmcjxq9p53x6md79eppsl2

It's good enough for most tests.

Those two chains (Regtest/Signet) are separate from Testnet, means you're not connected to testnet nodes and your coins aren't testnet coins.
So no if you have Regtest or Signet coins.

Yes, to my knowledge Ledger does support that as you can enable the use of Testnet Bitcoin in Ledger Live. But I don't use Ledger hardware. As Ledger Live is crap in my opinion other wallets that support Ledger Nano hardware might also allow the use of Regnet or even Signet Bitcoins. Though not sure, as I haven't had the need or devices to test this myself.

OP, if you don't know what's testnet, read: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Testnet
If you want some testnet sats, you can get them from faucets, such as bitaps, uo1 and mempool.co. I'm also lending tBTC, for greater amounts.

It's possible, as far as I can see. Do you want to tell us what are you trying to accomplish?

For years the information is outdated, the best  and only option is : https://testnet-faucet.mempool.co/

Here he can use a vpn/tor with new identity and if he has multiple addresses, can use them to ask for 0.002 tbtc every minute. 500 requests will make a btc and it will take him 1-2 hours. 1 tbtc should be enough for most the tests he needs.

You could just use Electrum to connect to Ledger (the hardware wallet) manage Bitcoin Testnet. But you'll need Bitcoin Core if you want to use Signet network, although i doubt Ledger support Regnet.

Please do not abuse their faucet like that. It'll discourage owner from keep running the faucet and might prevent other people from testing their software or teaching new user.

Thank you all for the quick replies. I would like to test around different transactions using, tops, 7 tBTC. I know they are hard to come across. I have not used any faucets. Any help would be great. I will pay for them, if need be.

What do you mean tops?

Actually, there are some newbies selling big amounts of tBTC the only problem is there are many scammers selling that tBTC without proof that they hold a big amount of tBTC. Also, be careful with high-rank members with negative trust here on the forum I saw someone before selling them and scam. 

The tops you mean is that Top-up or a payment processor?

[randomuser22]

Long story short: I just want 7-10 BTC to keep in a testnet ledger nano wallet. Thank you for your help.

You don't need to test transactions in testnet, you can easily use RegTest to generate thousands of coins to test any type of transactions with. It only takes a couple of seconds to mine all those blocks too.

Transaction outputs can be as low as 0.00000294BTC for SegWit or 0.00000546BTC for legacy, why does it have to be 7tBTC?
Anyways, you can try to contact guy, AFAIK, he lent huge amount of tBTC to someone before: /index.php?topic=5223320.0

You could prove that you actually are in control of those coins for address n4CLirZ5vrWxtNvEDDwkddN8g88TQk99W by signing a message with the private key of that address. No rocket science...

[abadon666999]

please give me your testnet btc address ....i will send you 0.01 tBTC for prove that i am in control of those coins

Here's my testnet address: tb1qpch9jt8avpd9dvgxewj46ee7glc7u8k4m9n5hr.
You could sign a message to avoid sending coins to strangers and bloating the chain with unnecessary transactions, though.
