Developers are debating resetting testnet.

Also, there looks like to be some kind of airdrop for users who interact with testnet coins. I don't know any of those airdrops.

Nice. I have 0.006 tBTC.

Do you think is it worth anything in the airdrop you mentioned?

I strongly advise against trying to claim any sort of testnet airdrop for ideological reasons. Testnet coins are not supposed to have value (which is why they are so named testnet), but all this talk about trading coins on altquick and airdrops is just going to reinforce the idea to other people that testnet is some kind of crypto that you can earn money with,.

I understand your point and I can see there is really a controversy.

However,  this is not simple sell tBTC and get some money back.

If you open the website,  I will have to give tBTC and then i receive an erc20 token which will be used to test thee new smartcontract they are working on.

It is basic getting paid to help testing. Anyway, as I have very little tBTC, I don't know if I will be eligible

Actually, it does not depend on how much BTC you have. We all know that no matter how many tBTCs we have, they still have no value. The website is offering some airdrop points to test its website features, such as bridging, swapping, checking in, and other tasks. If you do a thousand-sat bridge, you get 300 points. If you swap a thousand tBTC bridge, you still get 300 points. So, it does not depend on how much you have. But it depends on your activity. If you do three bridges every day, you will get 900 points, which will later convert into their native token. You should note that bridging tBTC to their token is not the only way to participate. It is one of the tasks.

The problem looks to be that people are trading tBTC coins at https://altquick.com/exchange/
About 5usd por 15 tBTC last time I checked.

This is stupid and nobody should purchase something that is worthless and have no monetary value by definition.
I remember owner of this crappy exchange from bitcointalk forum, because of people like him we need to have bitcoin testnet reset more often, and they release new versions.
Recently they released Bitcoin Testnet4:

Major update to this case as a BIP (Bitcoin Improvement Proposal) has formally been submitted to the mailing list and the bips Github repository.

The main changes are that there are going to be patches for the Block Storm attack and the Time Warp attack. The Block Storm attack lets people mine a ton of blocks with difficulty 1. It uses the Time Warp attack in conjunction, in order to set the time of successive (instantaneously) mined blocks a little bit into the future.

These changes should mean that there should be plenty of testnet to go around for everyone.

While it's good to see some progress, personally i think it's a shame they're not considering changing coin supply/mining reward. It'll make some dubious people use ASIC to mine when the reward is still high, with goal selling it or spam testnet4 at big scale in the future.
