Something incredibly freeing about being able to just sit down and experiment with Bitcoin on testnet with no concerns. Highly recommend it for getting comfortable with privacy tools, testing out a new wallet, or playing with multisig. Two solid testnet faucets here if you need tsats, or I'm happy to send some if you drop a testnet address below: https://testnet-faucet.com/btc-testnet/

Your Nostr key stays cold, but you get full client functionality, and you can sign in in just a few seconds with a simple QR code exchange 👀
