Bitcoin Testnet Faucet by n0nce for Developers

So, I've mined quite a few full Bitcoins following nullama's guide, and I'm gearing up to restart my rig after some upgrades. If anyone needs a decent chunk of Testnet BTC, just drop your request here. I’ll consider lending it out as long as your reason for needing that amount makes sense to me. This is mainly for devs and testing purposes. From what I've seen, it's often helpful to run your Bitcoin software one last time in a setup that’s close to mainnet. For example, being able to test it with a popular wallet or a hardware wallet that doesn’t support signet. I totally get that many believe you can do your testing with just a tiny amount, but I’m not putting a strict limit here. I’ll evaluate requests individually. Here’s my address for requests and returns: tb1qm068f6x09x2tyswpatvmen25kz2g6f7zexc9gv Right now, I’ve got about 8.98512319 tBTC available. Just a heads up, these funds are expected to be returned after you’re done, like with any other faucet. If you’re new or if I have doubts about you returning the coins (minus any fees or losses during testing, let’s say up to 10% loss), I might ask for some collateral in BTC or just deny access to my faucet. When you make your request, please format it like this:

That was me. Yes I did. --Knight Hider

Very cool, thank you!  I used the coins to craft this bad boy: https://mempool.space/testnet/tx/3e0849b2dbfa75716b5e01fd252234caac16ea4321c3053409e277b647e6f4cc

Nice to see this kind of topics, n0nce you should add an address to get some return after the users finished their test. I know that you don't need them back but it should be fine to keep those coins circulating

Sent, good luck with your project! Just send it back to the same address when you're done. Thanks for reminding me; I knew I'd forgotten something! Added to starter post right now..

I believe I'll stop at about 10 tBTC; that should last me / us for a while, especially if people return the coins after usage. Because of the cost of electricity, I'd rather point my R909 at Kano's mainnet pool, but maybe I can figure out a long-term solution for Compac F's and let one continue mining testnet as it pulls very little power. I just personally prefer the peace of mind that the R909 gives me with its integrated cooling design, whereas I fear I could come home to a molten-down Compac F. There is just not a good place to install fans for cooling mining sticks. Something DIY or 3D-printed may help, but for a single or 2 sticks, that's a lot of time & money again.

Excellent, yes, 10 tbtc is enough for tests, actually the amount that you give is more than most of the faucets out there offer, some automated faucets only offer some 8000 or 10000 tsats. You should consider five less amounts unless bigger amounts are necessary

Are you mining with an Asic or GPU? I've tried to set up a pool to connect to my fullnode and mine with GPU via cgminer but nothing works. Also, do you have a pool address that can be shared with me? Thanks.

Hi, I am working on a Bitcoin testnet exchange; it is for fun mostly and would appreciate to get more testnet coins than what existing faucets release per day.  mqbbyRUtJXaYMjQFGxxJyaPnsrdozXibze Thanks

How much do you need?

hey n0nce, this is a nice service for the community. The last time i needed tBTC i bought them on Altquick, i don't like to sound like i am promoting that exchange, but is important to know how we can buy and sell cheap tBTC nowadays, i never thought there would be a market for them. I will leave the link for those who need a bigger amount. https://altquick.com/exchange/market/BitcoinTestnet

Bigger amount than 10tBTC? Are you serious? Bitcoin Testnet is supposed to have 0 value and be handed out for free. There is no reason to need even 1 whole tBTC for testing stuff, which is what it's actually made for. Let's keep this on-topic, please.

My bot is online, and sent 0.001703 tBTC to your address 4 days ago.

Can you tell me how to mine these test bitcoins?

You just need a small ASIC miner like a Compac F or an R909. Follow nullama's guide that you find [here]. Do make sure to read through my recommendations ((1) and (4)) and fixes ((2) and (3)) [here].

Amount: <0.2 tBTC> Address: <tb1qp9n3lerfw32pq96k64h2u2l9td5jk80aaw3ka3> Project: <an ordinal(brc-20) marketplace> ---- Hi n0nce, my team currently involved in the development of an ordinal(brc-20) marketplace, so if there is a possibility to sent me 0.2 testnet coins for testing? I would greatly appreciate any assistance in this matter.

Unfortunately, coins never came back. Sent, please send them back when you're done!
