Oddbean new post about login | logout So where does one buy these signet coins? What’s the rate? Pointers welcome!
No chance to get a larger amount in my experience (except you contact the maintainers I guess). Mutinynet has a great faucet, but you need a fork of core. Please lmk if you find a more reliable sbtc source than those two horrible faucets😆
Use these scripts with your Bitcoin Core on signet: https://github.com/ajtowns/powcoins Delivers full coins in a few blocks.
Awesome, thanks again for the suggestion! Just got some signet sats and am ready to open channels!
How much PoW did you set? I tried this a few days ago and it always said that the faucet wallet is empty.
The whole point of testnets is that any amount is equivalent. There’s no reason to ever want a whole or event 1/10th a coin.
I do need enough to meet the minimum requirements for channels, practically speaking that’s probably 100k sats per channel. I am open to the idea of permissioned public testing networks, where I pay for “cycles” in the form of coins.
Yep, that’s why I didn’t say 1000 sats :). Even 100k sats is a lot for a channel, tho, tbh.
Most big nodes won’t even let me open a channel unless its like 2-5 mil sats :/
