Trying to send Bitcoins from testnet to my regtest node

1

  1. I send bitcoin regtest server BTC to other bitcoin address of same server. I sent 5 BTC but it shows 50 BTC of that account's associated address. It received 5 BTC.

    What's the problem with this account or address?

  2. I used https://tpfaucet.appspot.com/ to get free BTC for regtest server address. I send BTC to many of my addresses but I didn't receive any amount on account associated addresses.

    What's the problem on this server or regtest bitcoin?

The regtest system is completely isolated from testnet and only exists on your local machine by default, you won't see the transaction from TPs faucet because it isn't on the same network. Blocks in your regtest setup can be instantly created using bitcoin-cli setgenerate true <number of blocks> each of which will bring into existence 50 BTC in your local wallet for testing with.

http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/39073/how-to-use-bitcoind-jsonrpc-for-regtest-or-testnet-server-in-php please see link answer. here write

Regtest is 18332 – Md Shahadat Hossain – 2015-08-13T12:16:12.383

That would be the RPC port shared by regtest and testnet, yes. – Anonymous – 2015-08-13T12:17:02.650

@ShahadatHossain: confirmation works by mining a block. In regtest you can min a block with bitcoin-cli --regtest generate 1 – Jonas Schnelli – 2015-08-13T13:37:05.140

I need to confirm my transaction not to generate block. I already run this and get 50btc. but i could not confirm transaction send or received. please if any idea comment here – Md Shahadat Hossain – 2015-08-14T06:16:07.330

@ShahadatHossain You don't generate blocks with testnet, miners do, just like the Mainnet. I now see your problem with receiving TP Faucet testnet coins, check your question for my answer. – Wizard Of Ozzie – 2015-08-14T07:39:17.570
