Can we put test funds there??

That's hard, there is no code to generate a new genesis block. One of the founders should use his account (if it's empty in the real blockchain) and send coins to ppl. NEVER USE UR REAL ACCOUNTS, test transactions can be broadcasted to the real blockchain.

Yes if one of the founders could please PM that would be great. I am one of the founders but my coins were sent to me later since I missed the time to claim them.

I am dumb, I don't understand!..

If you claimed your coins in time for the genesis block creation, they are in there and can be unlocked using your secret phrase. Since I missed that, BCNext sent me mine later so I can't use the phassphrase to get to them (my coins only existed under my control at block 100 or something). Someone who was in the Genesis block can give us their passphrase we can unlock those coins and use them on testnet. Obviously only if they have moved those coins out of the real account on the real net (since the passphrases are identical on both real and test net).

I was in the genesis block - if I create a new account and move all of my funds then you could use the old account right? I could leave the bounty amount for the test purposes but I am not sure I wanna do this yet.

Why is this essential? To fund test nodes from a genesis block account?

No we need test coins on the test net. Right now the test net starts from the Genesis block and so we have no access to any coins with out knowing a passsphrase from an account that holds some original coins.
