Since I want to do some testing with my hardware wallets, multisig and other stuff that generally interests me, I would need a larger amount of tBTC. I can understand that people will not just give away larger amounts of tBTC since if they would do it, they would quickly run out of them also. So I was thinking I could just point a miner at a testnet pool for a few hours/days to get the amount that I would need. After some research I found out this will be more difficult than I thought, since many pools seem to be offline. Also it is many times suggested to set up your own pool. Since I don't have the time to set up the pool and also not the mining power to solo mine, I would be happy about some tips how to obtain the needed tBTC.



I can give you 1 tbtc for 0.001 btc. You have to add it as collateral somewhere as in theory tbtc has no value, so if you don't spend much of it, you will get most of your money back. I don't agree with most of crypto users who say that tbtc is worthless, if it's worthless, give me 100 right now to test, don't you have?
