Learn Bitcoin! In a safe and costless environment: use testnet4

quoting nevent1q…u7ay

For anyone like me who doesn't have much experience sending/receiving #Bitcoin transactions, and wants to get more comfortable with it, get yourself some freely available #Testnet4 coins. It's is a GAME-CHANGER.

For the past few days, I've been playing with npub1cvqlzvmjercdn0ypsmv8f7j9lge6ahsnueh5rparh53wuswftv4q49yjt3 (npub1cvq…yjt3) wallet on my iPhone and craigraw (npub1hea…g9v2)'s Sparrow wallet on my laptop - testing hot wallets on both, testing watch-only wallets on both with the corresponding offline sign-only wallet on Sparrow, etc. - completely free of any risk of losing any funds thanks to Testnet4. Next, I'm looking forward to playing with multisig combinations on this setup.

I really think the community should be getting the word out more about practicing with Testnet4. It's a lot easier to learn more, more quickly when you're not stressing over losing any funds. It would also help is there was a lot more widespread support for Testnet4 (I'm looking at you BlueWallet).

PS. It should be pretty easy to find a Testnet4 'faucet' to get your free coins. I've enjoyed using https://faucet.testnet4.dev/ . It's completely free and non-KYC - but, I otherwise know nothing about it.
