Hello everyone. Now I have also encountered this pain.
For my project I needed a couple of thousand tBTC testnet4. I went the classic way, rented an ASIC. And then I came across the above descriptions not only in this topic.
Maybe it is worth sharing an option on how to repeat CPU mining. I am ready to launch 10-50 of nodes and pools to cut off the ability of this individual to mine so much and make a faucet for free distribution of coins.
I am very sad about what is happening because of such a "bug"

A few *thousand* Bitcoin Testnet is a metric fuckton of coins. You do *not* need that to get started with a faucet ~~company~~.

You would need to mine 40 blocks, and there are 72 blocks made per day... that is asking a lot for a global testing network.

~~This would be a struggle with Neopoints even, this is absolutely not a bug~~Open market says you could save 800 perfect minutes for $44.

I'm curious where you pointed your rented power since the only public Testnet mining pool is gone?
