Getting Started: Request Coins for Testing (No Mining Required)

If you want to interact with Compute Substrate without running a miner, you can request coins for testing.

This allows you to:

  • send transactions
  • observe UTXO behavior
  • explore the system directly

Step 0: Generate a wallet

Run:

csd wallet new

This will output your address (addr20). You’ll use this below.
Note: Keep your private key safe. Do not share it.


Requirements

Post a reply with:

  1. Your address (addr20)
  2. What you want to test (1–2 lines)

Example:

Address:
0x…

Intent:
“I want to test sending transactions and observe how UTXOs are created and spent.”


Notes

Coins are provided manually for testing purposes. This is not an airdrop. Requests without intent may be ignored


Why?

Compute Substrate is best understood through interaction. This allows participation without requiring mining setup.

If you discover anything unexpected, post it in Node & Mining or Critique & Failure Modes.

Built from source on macOS arm64. Want to send a few transactions and watch how Propose / Attest behave through a real epoch boundary — particularly how attestations interact with proposal expiry and how the per-(epoch, domain) TopK gets recomputed deterministically across reorgs. Also curious how the LWMA retarget feels in practice on a small network.

Will report back if I hit anything interesting.

Thanks.

Very interesting what you got here
