I'm trying to obtain some coins in testnet, so I started monerod, waited until it sync and started mining.
I've got such messages:

(and so on)
Am I right that such messages say that I mined some blocks? My balance (both locked and unlocked) is still 0, even after 3 hours passed.
I tried to start mining thread in two ways:
- monerod.exe --testnet --start-mining 9yE4fY9hpVJayU8hbuigzJVTt3Brhmt9NQXPpZWFjis3EPnoX4D1JTGde6WFMYZcRFNqVdLgQk3FPcFmJComAgfxBGrNfBm It produced several "Found block for difficulty" messages, but balance didn't want to move from 0. I began to worry that I had the wrong address.
- So I restarted daemon without --start-mining flag, launched monero-wallet-gui, opened my wallet file (with that address), connected it to my daemon and started mining thread from there.
Unfortunately, I didn't get any result.
So, what am I doing wrong and how test coins can be obtained?)
