Getting enough satoshi to run test against Tx creation and broadcasting #9

Getting free satoshi is possible thanks to Bitcoin Faucet, but require times to get 10000 satoshi so I decided to try setting a bitcoin wallet and use that faucet!

That websites have different systems of payout.. it's easy to get satoshi but long to have them sent to your address, here two links I am using:

Alien Faucet payout every Sunday (if your satoshi are > 5000)
btc25 payout when satoshi >35000

to get free satoshi you have to click and answer captcha once each ten minute/25 min

gosh. That's super annoying. Instead, we should try to buy {{some_amount}} * 3 from an exchange service like coinbase.com, that allows us to buy down to a minimum of 1euro worth bitcoins. That's faster, safer and cheap -- not as having them for free, but ...who's giving you things for free? :)

I got 0,000061 BTC (thanks to Alien Faucet), are they enough for a transiction?

giuscri commented 9 years ago

Not sure. We should try. :)

If you want, you can send me the private key of your wallet to my email address in plain text or (I do NOT think it is necessary ...) you can encrypt it using my PGP public key

$ curl -L https://gist.githubusercontent.com/giuscri/7c6b44288c3937c1ad40/raw/ae641e1edab481c34b1548f33b724dec8c768a30/magasaki.asc | gpg --import
$ gpg --encrypt --recipient "Giuseppe Crinò" < /path/to/private/key.wif | xclip

and <Ctrl-V> it here.

Otherwise, feel free to run the tests on your own and report it here the results. :)
