Invalid bitcoin address error #8

Closed ghost closed 11 years ago

ghost commented 11 years ago

Whenever I tried using the faucet, I got an "invalid bitcoin address" error, though I'm absolutely positive that it is in fact valid.

Hi mdszy. I've tested the withdrawals of the faucet with a few testnet addresses of mine. It works fine. Can you provide me the address that you are using which fails? Thanks!

Make sure your address starts with 'm' and not '1', since this is a Testnet3 faucet. Your address must be a valid Testnet3 address. We're not giving away real bitcoins for free. These testcoins are worthless, like Monopoly money. They are useful to developers and people willing to test Bitcoin.

I must add that this code could be used to run a real Bitcoin faucet if someone wanted to (and give real bitcoins away), although we do not run one currently.

I'll close this issue for now. If you have issue with a testnet address (an address starting with either 'm' or 'n') please open up a new bug report and paste the address. Thanks!
