Distributing tBTC on Testnet3

So, I just got some tBTC from achow101 after asking for it. I'll make sure to return those coins to achow101. But here's the thing, a good friend also gave me a huge amount, way more than I need for testing. I could send it back to him, but he really doesn't want them. The whole point of having testnet coins is to actually use them for development work, which I won’t be doing anytime soon. So honestly, I don’t see the point in holding onto all these extra coins! If you want some, please fill out this form:

Bump, tBTC on testnet3 still available.

Why you don't sell them? There is a market where you can buy and sell testnet coins, the price is low, close to 200 satoshis, but as we know this coins were not supposed to be on markets, but there is a chance to sell them, if you have a big amount you could walk away with some cash. The market that I'm talking about is the next one: https://altquick.com/exchange/market/BitcoinTestnet3 So, think about it, and if you still want to give them away that's your call.

Thanks, but I am highly against selling them. The main reason why these coins exist is to not have value. If they did have value, they would simply be an altcoin. I want to give them to developers or testers who need to test bitcoin features and functionalities.

Hello, I am copywriter within the crypto space and also dub as a tester so would love to have some sir.

Yeah, follow the format in the original post and I will gladly offer some. Just tell me a bit about what you write (and what you test) in the "reason".

Then it failed. In both testnet3 and testnet4. Because both are actively traded. Well, testnet3 is going in that direction. When Bitcoin Core will remove support for it in next releases, then it will be treated as every other altcoin. And a lot of people wouldn't even notice it, if exchanges and users simply won't upgrade their nodes, and stay with the old version, to use testnet. I never saw any developer, who wanted to test something, and was forced to get test coins from another user. You can just disconnect from the network, wait 20 minutes, and then you can mine a single block on just a CPU, which will do anything you want. And then, you can reconnect with the network, and see, how your coins are reorged, so they are truly worthless. So, testing things does not require getting any test coins from anyone. Just invalidating the last N blocks from 20 minutes, and mining your own block on top of that, with the current timestamp, will instantly give you some coins, without asking anyone. The only case, when someone needs test coins, which are accepted by the rest of the network, is trading. Everything else can be tested locally. If you truly believe, that test coins are worthless, then why do you think, that this amount is "big"? Everything multiplied by zero gives you zero.

Here they come: https://mempool.space/testnet/tx/859e29fb76f0e81781fbbfba4291c69a5552a97407eaa4868c6fd9a117fe063f You don't need to return them to me. Good luck It definitely has. Here is a good read about it: https://blog.lopp.net/griefing-bitcoin-testnet/ Because for testing, normally 1 BTC is more than enough. You can try multiple things and be totally fine with 1 BTC.

BUMP

There is also an automated faucet that you could donate to on AltQuick with the confidence that we won't steal them and sell them. If you donate, we will do our best to do our job.  Most faucets rely on taking a certain amount of donations for profit.  We don't have to do that for obvious reasons.  (A monopoly in the Bitcoin space due to "morals" isn't a bad niche.) We give 0.005 TBTC every 10 minutes to anyone, and I generally let people abuse it too if they aren't being painfully obvious. https://altquick.com/faucet/ The donation address for v3 tb1q7er2t6ttklpr58yf32axte5t04ewr3cvv6kzqe.
