[open] Knight Hider's Bitcoin Testnet4 faucet

[Knight Hider]

Post your Bitcoin Testnet4 address. Get up to 0.02 Bitcoin Testnet4 (tBTC4) per request. Less for new accounts. The amount depends on Activity and previous requests. Abusers made me set limits. Post a new address to request again.

Return address: tb1qqmaq6qxsdzu5x57nn0ru8us4fhtfvzqcvcrs95 (returning is optional).

This thread succeeds Knight Hider's Bitcoin Testnet faucet.

You had another thread on Bitcoin testnet last year but it nearly ended with selling Bitcoin testnet that supposed to be free for testing and has nearly zero value fore exchange. At the end, you received two warning trust feedback that is not good at all.

Hopefully this thread won't end with selling Bitcoin testnet again.

Additionally, there are many Bitcoin Testnet Faucets.

My perspective changed:

Imagine getting items that are meant for donations to the underprivileged, and then you start selling them off just because someone is willing to pay  

When you put it like this, it no longer sounds as victimless as I thought it was. I will close my sales topic and keep my Testnet faucet until it is empty.

Hopefully this thread won't end with selling Bitcoin testnet again.

chytrik: "testnet coins are an interesting thing: they are useful because they are worthless. If they were worth something, they would be useless"

Additionally, there are many Bitcoin Testnet Faucets.

That is deprecated Testnet3.

Sent you a hundred. You can now give more than 0.02.

It's good to see you changed your perspective and do something to stop abuse. But just in case, do you know the extent of the abuse?
1. It's been around since 2020 (or maybe earlier), https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5286384.msg55522090#msg55522090.
2. SatoshiVM "airdrop" popularize the trends, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5484836.msg63650336#msg63650336 and https://blog.lopp.net/griefing-bitcoin-testnet/.
3. Some people intentionally give testnet3 coin value and even threaten to do same on testnet4, https://blog.lopp.net/griefing-bitcoin-testnet/.
4. Looking at different thread about faucet on https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5467106.0, there are many request with weird or suspicious reason.

Thanks. Up to 0.02 tBTC4 should be enough for most testers. I mined 200 tBTC4, that should last me years. If someone needs more, they can ask here. Depending on demand I can change the limits.

The abuse drained my small Testnet3 faucet once (link). That I took care of by setting limits. I did this to learn.

How are you mining the testnet4? With a CPU?

Yes. I stopped after a few blocks.

[Knight Hider]

Faucet still active.

Edit #2: Someone has setup a bot that monitors this thread and funds it when a new address is posted. I really don't understand what's going on.

[grashopr]

I'll take some if poss.

This is the whole reason I started a faucet, I got sick of faucet owners stealing my big donations intended for other people!!!!!

That being said, Knight Hider, you do as you please with this donation.  I have no expectations.  Give them away, sell them, use them, donate them, burn them or whatever you feel like!

Good luck!

Tyvm. Your faucet donation came at a bad time. It took 4 months to get back.
