Please don’t buy testnet coins. If they get a price, we get testnet5.
Discussion
Where do you suggest I go and get them? I want to get started with my testnet4 Lightning node
Asking in IRC, generally 🤷♂️
Anything scarce has a price. Verify, dont trust.
Then we fucked up testnet4, should have premined it so that it’s not scarce, and need to have a testnet5 :)
I did notice that testnet4 appeared to be intentionally premined. It’s still correctable though, we have about 150,000 blocks to take out the halvings. 50tBTC forever per block, that way we won’t have to worry about this ever getting a significant price. Begging for coins is not an acceptable way to distribute these resources
Not “intentionally”, just some miners got excited when it was still a PR.
