How to perform CPU mining on bitcoin TESTNET on Linux?

0

I need approximately 100 Bitcoin Testnet to run an experiment on the lightning network.

Any suggestion on how to run CPU mining? Should I use cgminer? Make any sense to perform solo mining on testnet?

Currently I am running a full testnet node with bitcoind on a linux environment.

Maybe you can find a faucet? Here is an older but probably still appropriate answer: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/29791/how-can-i-do-cpu-mining-on-testnet

1You will have to wait until the difficulty is reset to 1, and even then, you might not be able to win a block with the flood of other blocks coming in.JBaczuk 2019-03-14T15:50:26.917
