So I used to run a faucet back when testnet3 was the thing. Now that testnet3 is basically dead and getting dropped from Bitcoin Core in v30+, and testnet4 coins are genuinely hard to come by, I spun up a new one so devs and testers actually have somewhere to go.
You get 0.01 tBTC per hour, rate limited by both address and IP so nobody can just drain it in one shot. No account, no signup, no ads, no tracking. Self-funded entirely. Code is fully open source if you wanna check how it works.
Also accessible over Tor if that matters to you.
Testnet4 BTC faucet is up, open source and free to use

nice to see more testnet4 sources tbh, even if i don't personally need any rn... quick question tho, do you know there's already a BIP in the works for testnet5? might be worth keeping an eye on that before you go too deep into testnet4 support.

lol this thread reminded me, I had a stash of 300+ testnet4 coins spread across like 1800 QR-coded private keys and figured I'd share them here.
For two months nobody touched them, then people started using a few at a time which was fine, totally the point. Then some absolute legend just swept basically everything in one go. Most keys are sitting at like 1/6th of a coin now.
Update: yeah they're fully drained now. this is exactly why we can't have nice things lmao
