Rinkeby Faucet - A new one #241

Closed PatrickAlphaC closed 3 years ago

PatrickAlphaC commented 3 years ago

Right now, the Rinkeby faucet has been incredibly sportatic, and at the time of writing, it's been down for a few days. https://faucet.rinkeby.io/

This makes new developers journies into the space borderline impossible, especially for NFT developers who might use something like opensea to test their NFTs, as opensea uses the rinkeby testnet.

I'd love for an initiative to happen to find out:

  1. Who currently admins the current faucet
  2. How we can ask for 10,000,000 ETH (at least, as a starting point) to run a second faucet.

The current faucet has plenty to go around. https://rinkeby.etherscan.io/address/0x31b98d14007bdee637298086988a0bbd31184523

I'd recommend asking about this in the Geth discord, see: https://discord.com/invite/nthXNEv

@timbeiko, awesome. Thanks. I'll ask there too.

It seems to be reaaalllly quiet on the testnet front, which is really concerning to me. One of the worst things we can do is have tools that are broken. This will actively push people away.

Happy to hear! Awesome! Closing this issue given that it's been resolved elsewhere.
