🤔 What is Ropsten Ethereum?

Ropsten Ethereum, also known as “Ethereum Testnet”, are as the name implies, a testing network that runs the same protocol as Ethereum does and is used to testing purposes before deploying on the main network (Mainnet).

Ethereum has several networks. Your Valuable ETHs are in the Main Net. The rETHs are on the Ropsten one.

Ropsten ETHs are used for testing purposes. When developers are building dApps, or experimenting on the network, to avoid losing money paying real ETH for transaction fees and smart contract deployments, it’s better to use the Ropsten Network.

💰 How much Ropstens Ethereums are worth?

Monetarily, nothing. If they had any financial value associated with them, they would lose their testing purpose.

Will they one day have real financial value?

My answer to this question is:

What is your definition of real?

A piece of paper that burns? Highly complex cryptographic assets of value that you don’t understand? Minerals? Land? Love? Time?

IMO reality is equals to perception.

And perception changes all the time. Litecoin is viewed kinda’ as the “test-net” for BTC where features are tested and implemented earlier than they do on the bitcoin network.

There is a tale of someone that once payed $500 for a few thousand Ropstens.

But anyways…

I’m just teasing you 😁. You won’t get rich stacking up Ropsten ETH!!!

🚰 What is an Ethereum Faucet?

It’s a pool of Ropsten Ethereum from where you require rETHs and it sends them to you automatically.

Straight to your address. Instantly. Free. With one single click.

🏗️ Why Have You Built One?

Because the Ethereum-Community needs this. Even if simple, it is an extremely meaningful resource to help developers and users experiment with the technology.

Every single time that someone starts to work on an application and smart contracts, they will need Ethereum Ropstens to start.

At this point in time there are a few ways of getting Ropsten Eths:

  1. Mining with your computer.
  2. Asking someone who mines on their computer.
  3. Requesting from a faucet.

There are a very few Faucets out there. All boring 😴.

None of them look as good as the one we just launched 😎 — LEGIT.

You can check bitfwd’s faucet HERE

What can you do with Ropsten Ethereum? Your own TOKEN!

Alright, so you may be asking yourself, how could you actually use these Ropsten Ethereums?

Well… It’s your lucky day you future Crypto-Head.

And the day just started 😉

I’ve put together a killer TUTORIAL teaching you how to deploy your own ERC20 Token in less than 20 minutes. No coding experience needed.

👉👉Here is the TUTORIAL.👈👈

Yes, you will need Ropsten Ethereums to complete it!

🚨🚨WAIT, THE BEST IS NOW🚨🚨

We are launching our Faucet on PRODUCT HUNT!!!

It means that it will reach thousands of people and help the Crypto-Community move forward!!!
