user56993: I have a question concerning setting up a testnet.
I am setting up a testnet. I tried to get some testnet coin be I did not a success.
But anyway is it possible to reduces the probability of getting a coin on a test net without recompiling the bitcoin source.
I remember in 2011 it was relatively easy to get coins for test.
Can you set a parameter in the bitcoin.conf to reduces the hash probability

user2306: You're looking for regtest. It lets you generate as many blocks as you want on a private network.
