@modong faucet is working fine for me, and there are lots of successful tx over the past couple days from Etherscan. You still having trouble? Can we get a screenshot?

[youssefgh]

Same issue here Had to switch network to Ropsten and restart browser to get it to send

[jobinjohnym84]

Same issue for me now. I had faced this last week as well. Can someone fix this please? Or provide a workaround at least please?

Happening to me as well

Same exact issue here for me. Any ideas?

[jobinjohnym84]

Can someone respond please? Any workaround as of now?

[jobinjohnym84]

I tried to reset my MetaMask account, created new account, rebooted Chrome. Still same issue.

[tmashuang]

Currently, Infura is working on getting Ropsten to up to date with the Contantinople fork. In the meantime, it is recommended to use a different test network. Thanks for your patience.

[jobinjohnym84]

Thanks much for your response. Any ETA?

[jobinjohnym84]

I see in twitter as well-

[bdresser]

@jobinjohnym84 no ETA yet, we'll let you know! for now, use another test network

[tmashuang]

Seems that the nodes have synced up when I tested it this morning.

[Sureshtathari]

Guys, any update on this?

[spazzyt]

Still not working, did it work from oct 2018 to feb 2019?

[aditya-citrix]

same issue here

[b1gb4by]

I am suffering from this problem now.

[alusiu]

Same thing as the above atm.

[Lachs7]

seems the problem persists. Any updates?

[truongnmt]

@Lachs7 Due to a consensus issue with the Constantinople fork, Ropsten is currently not usable.

[Lachs7]

Awesome, thanks for letting me know.

In the meantime you can search for other Ropsten ETH faucets. Google it.

[nikmindboomer]

@MrUke it work!!!! i google it and the first suggestion was de correct

https://faucet.dimensions.network/ Dimensions Cryptocurrency Faucets

THX

[Titan-C]

I just tried. Metamask connects to the page and I even see the transaction listed after requesting ETH. Yet the transaction is never broadcasted. Etherscan never finds it and I never receive it. Other testnet faucets I tried work fine.

[GGG1998]

@Up same here problem.

This works for me. Just note, it may take a while to receive 1 eth from the sender.

[liam-ot]

[kyasbal]

I have same issue. I think we have enough reports to start considering reopen this issue.

[vinstercrypto]

Having issues as well, tried reset, restart, and different browsers. No luck.

Did some digging and found this link: https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmU7Ecw419si7D8gq4tB3qVBraitBGeVrsMESHBMD1DnCb/

I was able to get .5eth, it might work for you.
