[HELP] Request Testnet Bitcoin (Testnet3)

[Patikno]

Just get straight to the point, I have tBTC in my wallet & I offer anyone who wants to request tBTC for testing purposes to directly submit the application, terms & conditions for submitting the application:

➥ At least users in the member rank.
➥ Maximum request is only 1 tBTC per user.

Address (also for return purposes): tb1p8ell9fd9ls0tt34lmnmwrzaq6pxlj003l2u0ajq0xklyth0vvaxsu7647p

Request application format:

Code:

tBTC amount: <Amount of tBTC you want>
Address: <Your tBTC address>

For anyone who has submitted an application & has received the desired tBTC, if you are finished with the testing you have done, please return the tBTC to the address from which I sent it above (if you remember to return it). Just for additional information, in the future I will also support Testnet4.

I'll be needing some small amount of TestNet coins to open more test lightning channels:

Code:

tBTC amount: 0.005 tBTC
Address: tb1qam9z060xg8dqp0cjutlc63g92ner4nc9lzjcdj

Thanks in advance!
BTW, TestNet3 will soon be abandoned, probably shortly after the next release of the reference client.

Thank you Patikno!

I'm not interested in requesting TestNet coins for myself, but I will quote @seoincorporation because, after reading a recent thread started by him, I think that he will be thankful for your generous offer. I think that they will be good for his experiments

Can I know why your Testnet address is too long?

Your address length is more than 34 characters and I can not find addresses with length bigger than 34 in List of address prefixes.

I don't find information I want from What is Bitcoin testnet too so I really appreciate your help if you can explain.

Thanks for using my service, please check your wallet, it's been broadcast & you can check it via Mempool. Anyway regarding Testnet4, I realize that we are in a transition period, that's why I said at the end of the post that in the future I will also provide for Testnet4.

Thank you Patikno!

Thanks also for mentioning him, I hope he finds this thread soon, and if it becomes a big experiment, I don't mind offering more tBTC.

It's the Taproot type (P2TR) and not the Native Segwit (P2WPKH) that you might often see, but it still works, just request it if you want to do a test or something like that.

I don't mean to undermine your efforts OP, but i think the best way of going through this is in make it a voluntary offer without return, could some of the recipients even remember to return after using, why not give a voluntary amount which you can afford to only qualifies applicants and then move on or get over it, though i knew of sites that offer all these for free maybe for performing nothing or just a kittle task.

I have a lot of tBTC, and therefore I offer it to other users in case they need it, from those sites you know you can't get even 0.1 tBTC in a short time, but here I offer even 1 tBTC just to provide application. Thanks for your suggestion @384Judah, I've edited it to return the tBTC if they remember to return it, maybe in the future T&C on this service will change at any time.

Do you know how can regular users know the difference if they are using testnet3 or testnet4 coins?
I see that addresses on both test networks look identical and they are starting with tb1...
It would be interesting if we could swap testnet3 for testnet4 coins.

Regular users... if it's not visible in the client,
They would use blockexplorers that can identify if the UTXO is in TestNet3 or TestNet4 network.

It simply wont show the transactions that they can see in their "testnet n" wallet if it's in another test chain.
e.g.:

• mempool.space TestNet3: https://mempool.space/testnet
• mempool.space TestNet4: https://mempool.space/testnet4

It would be interesting if we could swap testnet3 for testnet4 coins.

That isn't possible since each test network has their separate blockchains and not a fork so existing TestNet3 coins can't exist in TestNet4 network.

Requesting Testnet Bitcoin on Testnet3 can be a useful way to test and experiment with transactions on the Bitcoin blockchain without risking real funds. Testnet Bitcoin operates on a separate network from the main Bitcoin network, allowing users to practice sending and receiving transactions in a safe environment. It can be a valuable tool for developers, businesses, or individuals looking to gain experience with Bitcoin transactions before using real Bitcoins. If you are seeking Testnet Bitcoin, it's essential to specify your needs clearly and adhere to the specific requirements for obtaining Testnet coins.

-snip- if you are finished with the testing you have done, please return the tBTC to the address from which I sent it above (if you remember to return it).

I've returned the test bitcoins minus the burnt out transaction fees in my tests and whatever left in the still open channel.

(0.00409278 tBTC from 0.005 tBTC)

Thanks!
