@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 · 2018-10-10T16:20:04Z

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

jobinjohnym84 · 2018-10-14T02:26:43Z

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?

jobinjohnym84 · 2018-10-14T02:45:40Z

This is the exact error message - someone help please---

{"error":"[ethjs-rpc] rpc error with payload {"id":1358577249026,"jsonrpc":"2.0","params":[{"to":"0xce35b218f28a275457b9e7efd1257c08d201c9ec","from":"0x81b7e08f65bdf5648606c89998a9cc8164397647","value":"0xde0b6b3a7640000","data":"0x"}],"method":"eth_sendTransaction"} [object Object]"}

Happening to me as well

AeneaMike · 2018-10-14T17:25:19Z

Happening to me as well

Same exact issue here for me. Any ideas?

jobinjohnym84 · 2018-10-14T18:14:14Z

Can someone respond please? Any workaround as of now?

jobinjohnym84 · 2018-10-14T18:14:57Z

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

tmashuang · 2018-10-14T20:59:46Z

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 · 2018-10-14T22:09:05Z

Thanks much for your response. Any ETA?

jobinjohnym84 · 2018-10-14T23:25:42Z

I see in twitter as well-

https://mobile.twitter.com/infura_io/status/1051210032392691714

bdresser · 2018-10-15T19:17:21Z

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

tmashuang · 2018-10-17T15:42:25Z

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

Sureshtathari · 2019-02-18T22:43:49Z

Guys, any update on this?

spazzyt · 2019-02-21T09:22:08Z

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

aditya-citrix · 2019-02-23T08:16:55Z

same issue here

b1gb4by · 2019-02-26T08:59:08Z

I am suffering from this problem now.

alusiu · 2019-02-26T19:29:35Z

Same thing as the above atm.

Lachs7 · 2019-02-28T01:02:25Z

seems the problem persists. Any updates?

truongnmt · 2019-03-01T03:36:02Z

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

Lachs7 · 2019-03-01T05:18:43Z

Awesome, thanks for letting me know.

Hi I have this error :

is the problem solved or go to another test network?

Same issue.

evolving-zd · 2021-06-26T19:38:06Z

Same issue here.
However, I found I can use this website to send me test eth.
https://faucet.ropsten.be/

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

liam-ot · 2021-07-10T12:13:25Z

same issue as @istabraq-iot

kyasbal · 2021-07-10T13:31:47Z

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

vinstercrypto · 2021-07-11T15:34:28Z

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.

liam-ot · 2021-08-27T06:59:15Z

for anyone coming to this thread

the faucet is broken and has been for almost 3 years

no one is going to fix it any time soon

you're better off deploying on BSC test net and using this faucet instead, it actually works

FYI: https://faucet.ropsten.be/ worked for me on Ropsten Test Network.

jeanmaried · 2021-11-06T23:32:56Z

Was having problems across different faucets. Eventually just switched on a VPN and it started working again. Hope this helps someone.

Use this link

Jordington · 2021-12-09T10:21:42Z

It's inexcusable that this problem has existed for at least three years. I was unable to receive test ETH in both the Ropsten and Goerli test networks across a half-dozen browsers. I did everything I could think of to troubleshoot the issue and followed the advice provided in this thread. Given that Metamask is touted as the standard browser extension crypto wallet by countless websites, videos, online courses, and many others, this glaring flaw needs to be fixed.

Yes bro I have same problem and I do not know what is next step ??

Same issues here. I'm trying for a few days to get one, but no luck...

Jordington · 2021-12-11T06:33:02Z

The problem appears to be the links that many of us were using and isn't limited to Metamask users (although you should avoid Metamask due to their sketchy privacy agreement, which mentions the use of Google Analytics among other concerning practices).

With that being said, thanks for the links, @glitterlip, but none of those worked for me. I did, however, send test ETH to my Brave Wallet through the Rinkeby, Goerli, and Kovan test networks using the link that @mohammadmadadi provided. Thanks, Mohammad!

CypElf · 2021-12-13T16:24:45Z

I also tried every one of them, but none of them worked successfully. I can't figure out why it's so difficult to find a way to get ETH through a testnet like that

princegoyal65 · 2022-01-09T13:12:23Z

Still not resolved !!!!

hshoja · 2022-01-29T21:16:17Z

CypElf · 2022-01-31T07:53:27Z

If it can help, I was experiencing this issue while using the Brave browser, but it worked in Firefox instead. No idea why or if it will be the same for other people, but you can still try.

themightylaz · 2022-02-08T12:43:40Z

These two worked for me:

Rinkeby: https://faucets.chain.link/rinkeby
Ropsten: https://faucet.egorfine.com/

randoum · 2022-05-05T16:18:49Z

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

@tmashuang you closed this issue in 2018, but look there are so many people having a hard time with it still today. Instead of letting everyone be frustrated, could you or one of your teammates take that issue at hand?

d0nluka · 2022-06-05T18:59:32Z

It's a f'n joke that this issue is still not resolved
