Not able to get Test Ada into my Testnet payment address through faucet

Same issue here, faucet not working for preprod


Today Faucet worked for us as usual without any changes but, facing the attached error while trying to sign the transaction… looks like something is from the CLI only. please guide

The faucet was re-filled.

So, what should we do now to eradicate it ?

how do we stake my pool is appearing in the explorer… how to know what blocks are getting generated ?
how to become a slot leader ??

I was successfully able to create a stake pool in the preprod testnet and it has been 3 weeks already but, still not even single block got minted: ce325280faa2e9c78f6639c55cb1f8e2de10746c0223b0545bbb7317 is the pool id.
Please guide me if i have done anything wrong in configuring the stakepool.

Your live stake is 19.5k tADA. With this stake, you will not mint blocks any time soon. You need to use the faucet to delegate 1M tADA to your pool to start minting blocks. I just did it for you, so you don’t need to do it anymore. It will take 2 or 3 more epochs until you should mint blocks, if everything is set up correctly.

Hi @georgem1976 I am getting the slot leader schedule like this and still my stakepool is minting 0 blocks… Is there any explicit steps to be performed to mint them ? or please let me know if all the parameters for my stake pool are adequate.

How many In connections do you have on your relay?
Do you have a In connection in the BP from the relay?
If you have TraceMempool enabled on the BP, do you see the transactions number increase in gLiveView.sh?

Yes… I do… please find the screenshot of my glidView:

I see that you don’t have In connections, except from your BP.
And you should have tens of Out connections (and hundreds In).
This is how my Preprod nodes look like:

How to change reward account to another address ? do we have a way ??

this is my new pool and let me know what needs to be addressed to be part of the rewards

Yes, you can set your rewards address to be a different stake address, which needs to be registered on chain. It does not need to be delegated. You need to submit a new stake pool registration certificate with the new rewards address.

May I know the minimum amount of real ADA while creating a stake pool at the mainnet ?

You will need atleast 500 ADA to register a pool and about ~2-3M stake to produce a block every epoch.
