Ether – How to Get a Large Number of Test Ethers

etherropstentestnetstestrpc

I have made a proof of concept that works on Ropsten Test Network. Now for users to use it I need a large number of Test Ethers in my account. As far as I know, we can get only one ether with one IP in a day. I need thousands of ethers. How can I get those? Please help. Its urgent.

There should be no reason to need "thousands of ethers", why can't you test your script on a smaller amount? You could for testing purposes treat 1 wei as 1 ether.
If you would like more than 1 ether a day make use of one of these services:
- http://faucet.ropsten.be:3001/
- https://faucet.metamask.io/

I had the same problem, it doesn't show it's mining.

However on activating the mining, CPU and disks start going crazy, and it shows in the logs in

You can check in your logs that indeed mining starts.

However the problem is that I can't stop the mining unless I exit the program.

Ether – Ether in Ropsten Testnet Using MetaMask

Meanwhile the search for right faucet is on, you can always start mining on the testnet. I received around 15 test-Eths in about 8 hours - was enough to get started.

In your Ethereum wallet, ensure you are on testnet (Develop -> Network should be testnet) Start mining by Develop -> Network -> Start mining.
In console, geth --testnet --mine is the way to do
