Need testnet bitcoins for testing

[ryepdx]

I'm working on a bitcoin service at the moment and have gotten to the point where I need to do some testing with bitcoins. Unfortunately it looks like the testnet bitcoin faucet is down. Anyone know where I can get some testnet bitcoins...?

Thanks. :-)

Should be able to mine them easy enough, might take a day or so, whats the testnet difficulty level?

[ryepdx]

Difficulty on testnet is 17.097486109999998, so it'll take my development box 4 hours on average to generate a block. I was just hoping there'd be a way to get one faster than that.

Give your address.

Thanks. :-)

Done. But I'm afraid you are going to wait a bit for the transaction to include in a block if nobody is mining at the moment.

But it is much better than mining one yourself and waiting 120 blocks.

By the way, difficulty on testnet is half of main net so it is slightly less than 8.

OFFTOPIC: how can i create a qr code like yours? with animation?

[ryepdx]

I'm sure there are several ways, most of them better than mine, but here was my method:

1. Find an animation to superimpose.

2. Open the animation and the QR code in GIMP. Edit the QR code until it looks the way you want it to look. (For mine I just added a layer of white on top and screwed with the opacity until I reached a level of gray that both looked good and was legible to my preferred QR scanning app.)

3. Copy and paste the QR code into the background of every frame of the animation. (Note: you may have to resize the animation's canvas first in order to fit the whole QR code in.)

4. Save as a GIF animation and you are done!

Hello, I am doing some development and could use some test bitcoins if you don't need them.

Hey, I need some testnet bitcoins. Something like 20-50 would be fine but the faucet only gives away 0.11. Is there any nice guy which can give me them please ( mhP3E27xcV9fgkKcWgukJYEgw7ewNRSaBX ), of course give me an address to send them back. Thank you.
