How to get a Testnet wallet and coins

For this tutorial, we will use Copay to create a testnet wallet as we found it the easiest to use.
Step 1:
Download Copay(https://copay.io/#download). We recommend downloading it on your computer especially if you want to try out our demo.

Step 2:

Start Copay.

The first time you open it, it will create a ‘Personal Wallet’ by default. This is a real bitcoin wallet but for our demo, you need a testnet wallet.

Step 3:
Click on the menu button (top left) and select ‘Add Wallet’.

Step 4:

Select ‘Create New Wallet’.

Step 5:

Give your wallet a name like ‘My Test Wallet’.

Expand the Advanced Options and make sure you select ‘Testnet’.

Leave the rest of the settings as the defaults.

And click ‘Create New Wallet’.

Step 6:

Now your wallet is ready but you need some testnet coins to use it.

Don’t worry testnet coins are free.

Step 7:

To get some testnet coins, you need to go to a faucet like this one.(https://testnet.manu.backend.hamburg/faucet)

Simply enter your ‘Receive’ address (found on the ‘Receive’ tab) and get some coins!

Note: In the image above, the ‘Receive’ address would be — myobETdkYBKtJ6Lj3sSNaqAn1koZhpPTiT

That’s it! Now you have some testnet coins to try out our demo.
