Hi all,
I wanted to try out MAs, but I’m stuck at step 6 of this procedure;
Yes, there are other posts about ‘the faucet’ and testnets problems, but I’d be happy to have a definite answer to;
Hello and welcome @Cell182,
what error message do you get?
Hello,
I am just curious, is this still valid?
Thank You
Hi adatainment,
Thanks for replying.
I get no error message at all, it’s just that the funds from the faucet don’t arrive at my address, or I can’t see them there.
Message from the faucet;
"Success

On my side it looks like this, i.e. empty;

You do seem to have the balance on testnet network as you can see here.
You’re using the faucet used for testnet network but trying to query balance on a different network (as your command suggests --testnet-magic 3) Given that testnet network is already on Mary network, it’s probably best for you to stick to testnet network, there are not many folks using other networks.
Hi rdlrt,
Thank you for the answer and the link, where I can see them.
Now I’m starting over, trying to be on the main testnet. What param shall be used for the main testnet (–testnet-magic 0 ?) - because it’s insisting on one;
[root@testvm ~]# cardano-cli address build --payment-verification-key-file pay.vkey --out-file pay.addr
Missing: (–mainnet | --testnet-magic NATURAL)
…yes, I’m completely new to Cardano concerning dev/test.
I’m having the same problem. Can’t seem to get faucet Ada to my address on --testnet-magic 3. I have been following the instructions on how to create a token on testnet as per:
It explicitly calls for that testnet. Should we be using something else? If so, what do you recommend? Will we need to be running different node software as well?
Thanks for your help!
Just try this link on devnet : Native Tokens program
it should work for test ada.
Thanks for the reply. Tried that this morning and haven’t received the Ada yet. Hopefully it shows up by tomorrow morning 
For testnet, you can download the files as per here.
Unfortunately I’m still not seeing any Ada on my testnet address. Can someone send me 100 Ada on the --testnet-magic 3 network to addr_test1vqxrfpsqnw43dc0pjjv2dn4hxpahasmah322fryvpuhd4tcxplg5y
Thanks for your help!
Thank you
I’m using those config files now, but then I get these errors (maybe bc I’m on 1.25.1 and not 1.24.2?):
[root@vm mary-ppe]# cardano-cli query utxo --address $my_pay_addr --testnet-magic $tm --mary-era

All I’d like to do for now is create my own testcoin for fun, which requires a testnet where I can get some tADA from the faucet.
Should I switch to ver 1.24.2 with testnet-magic 1097911063?
Your error message just means your node is not in sync yet. It is still in Byron era , and you will need to wait until it syncs across to Mary era on testnet network
And no - please do not switch versions, 1.24.2 is not compatible.
Thank you very much, it’s working now!
Summary of how I got the test-ADAs from the faucet to work
→ This node version: 1.25.1
→ These config files;
wget https://hydra.iohk.io/job/Cardano/cardano-node/cardano-deployment/latest-finished/download/1/testnet-config.json
plus these ones from the same URL;
testnet-shelley-genesis.json
testnet-byron-genesis.json
testnet-topology.json
→ This --testnet-magic: 1097911063
→ This faucet: Faucet
where btw the test-ADAs arrived quickly, not a 24h wait

Thanks to rdlrt and adatainment for the help!
You address seems to have received ADA 4 days ago (

Are you using the right version of cardano-node (1.25.1 or above is required) ?
Thanks for all the comments above. I read them carefully and updated my node. I was able to create a native token on Testnet
My tADA tokens are not showing up in the wallet. I am on 1.25.1 version of cardano-node. Neither do I see any error.
I have a similar problem where I am stuck.

Doesn’t give me the same values as the testnet explorer.
I believe this is the mainnet not testnet
