I need test ethereum for my pet project.
I go to https://faucet.rinkeby.io/ , put a link with my tweet with my Ethereum address in MetaMask, choose 3 Ethers / 8 hours
.
The request was accepted, but 17 hours past and I haven't my test ethers. Did I something wrong or I must wait a little longer? And explanation me please, what exactly means 3 Ethers / 8 hours?
To request funds, simply enter your wallet address and hit “Send Me ETH”. We support wallets as received addresses but not smart contracts.
The test-nets (such as Rinkeby) can be thought of as an alternate dimension for all intents and purposes. They are a place to run experiments without modifying the real Ethereum network. The ether there isn't worth anything, but your mistakes there also don't have consequences.
It's not working; it's down for a while (not sure when it's gonna come back up).
"3 Ethers / 8 hours" means that you can only request 3 Ethers each 8 hours.
You can get .001 ether here though: http://rinkeby-faucet.com/
It's not much but still better than nothing. I think the cooldown is only 1 or 2 hours.
If you want more than .001 faster they only block requests by IP, so ask a friend or something to open the link with your address and you'll get .001 more.
Many times I've received 0.1 testnet ETH from this faucet:
Rinkeby ETH
The above link will send you fairly quickly either Rinkeby ETH or Rinkeby Link or BOTH.
Also, here's an up to date list of ETH faucets: doc.chain.link
(look for Rinkeby)
