Figured y'all might think this was a sexy transaction from a guy mining with a windows 98. (They actually claim it's a BitAxe, but I think Windows 98 rolls off the tongue better.)

https://mempool.space/testnet4/tx/af716c24f08aa9253de374f4b2710ede1b85ce5639ca24b8f57f2b74262480bf
The blocks he mines are empty.

I think it deserves to be reorged, but it is faster to submit empty blocks than it is ones with transactions.

Do you want a high chance at 50 coins or a small chance of 50.1 coins. Tongue

Dude is just working with what he has.  The other miner who has never moved coins and just crossed a million is wild too.

you can request faucet or quick swap from sepolia and monad in here https://getsignetbitcoin.com

I think we spoke a few days ago, but you should add a Bitcoin Testnet / Signet market.

I constantly have people asking me for a Signet market, but I think ATowns would pwn my exchange if we did.

We do however handle Testnet because it is "safer"(ish) kinda sorta. lol

yeah i'm adding it soon

Awesome, that will help a lot of people.

We're sorry, but XChange Exchange doesn't work properly without JavaScript enabled.
Please enable it to continue or use our API.

Ew, that is ugly.  I haven't thought about that page in a long time.

The API link is:  https://github.com/AltQuick-com/api/blob/master/altquick-api-offical-docs.md

You got access to do wild shit with the API, have fun with it.

Are there any exchanges that work with no JavaScript?

If you post your Monero address I'll tip you.  No worries if that is a privacy concern, I get it.  I just appreciate folks pointing out shit we've forgotten.

This is now fixed.  We also changed how we posted our API on one part of our site to avoid JS as well.

New API links for no JS users is.

IndiaMikeZulu has been puddling about with CLAM, trying to improve its buy-sell spread.

Which is now under 10%.

And there's a sell-order for 500,000 CLAM at 200. Very nice. The price won't be drifting up to 250-something for a while.

We are really starting to get some large orders for interesting positions.

Testnet v4 has a 100,000 sell wall at 30 Sats too.

Big walls on both sides of the order books are a good thing IMO.

If Garlo Nicon wouldn't deploy CPU miners for testnet, the minimal difficulty rule could be left unmodified

I don't think it is Garlo Nicon ftr.

Re: Giving tBTC on Testnet3

Why you don't sell them?

There is a market where you can buy and sell testnet coins, the price is low, close to 200 satoshis, but as we know this coins were not supposed to be on markets, but there is a chance to sell them, if you have a big amount you could walk away with some cash. The market that I'm talking about is the next one: https://altquick.com/exchange/market/BitcoinTestnet3

So, think about it, and if you still want to give them away that's your call.

Thanks, but I am highly against selling them.
The main reason why these coins exist is to not have value. If they did have value, they would simply be an altcoin.
I want to give them to developers or testers who need to test bitcoin features and functionalities.

There is also an automated faucet that you could donate to on AltQuick with the confidence that we won't steal them and sell them.

If you donate, we will do our best to do our job.  Most faucets rely on taking a certain amount of donations for profit.  We don't have to do that for obvious reasons.

We give 0.005 TBTC every 10 minutes to anyone, and I generally let people abuse it too if they aren't being painfully obvious.

but she seems to be sailing along at this point!

Fucking jinx.

Avalanche (AVAX) withdrawals are temporarily paused.  They were giving txids and not being mined.  We are both headed to bed for the night, but we will get this fixed and turned back on in the morning.

Sorry for any inconvenience to AVAX withdrawal people.

Deposits still work... *shrugs* so no interruptions there.

Thanks!

I suspect if there weren't needs to test mining across the internet signet+regtest would have just replaced testnet completely in Bitcoin Core by now.

Here is a great example from the Bitcoin Mailing list today (https://groups.google.com/g/bitcoindev/c/Zx_NMqZH65Y/m/LV5zE15qAQAJ)

PS If anyone would like to test this on signet, I'd
be more than happy to help. I couldn't get my OP_CAT
transactions mined for some reason so i stuck to regtest.

Response:

Quote from: ATowns
inquisition.bitcoin-signet.net was down for a few days when you posted
this, due to running out of disk space, which probably would have made
getting txs relayed pretty hard. You'd probably have more luck now.

Most people, I think, are in this space to avoid centralized points of failure.

It's an option... sure, but not a replacement, and for good reason.

"Sorry global testing is down, my bad, guys." is unacceptable.  I understand it happens, but Bitcoin fixes that(?)

My automated faucet:  https://altquick.com/faucet/

Testnet 4 only for the first 24 hours, then you can use Bitcoin.  Use the Bitcoin to buy 0.22 TBTC and withdraw it every 10 minutes.

Good luck!
