Please go to see Blockchain application demo if you want to use your testcoin

What you will need

1.The Chrome web browser — Download here

2.The Metamask Chrome extension — Download here

Metamask allows you to sign Ethereum transactions without running a full Geth node.

Setting up Metamask

First install Metamask if you haven’t already here.

In the top right corner of Chrome you should now see the cute Metamask fox.

Click on the icon and let’s start creating your Ethereum wallet!

Agree to the terms of service. You have to scroll it to the bottom first so as to enable the accept button.

Be careful !! We are in Main Ethereum Network. We just want to do development so we have to change it to testnet (Ropsten
Test Net) first 。

In the top left corner of Chrome, you can see “Main Network”. Click on that and then choose ”
Ropsten
Test Net “。

Now you can input a password. Note: If you want to use this account for anything of value, use a unique randomly generated
password stored in a password manager like 123Password or Password123.

Before testing our contract, we will get a little extra ETH just in case. To do this, click “BUY”.

Click “ROPSTEN TEST FAUCET” button

You will be taken to the MetaMask ether faucet where you can click “request 1 ether” and it should send it to your account.
You can click the transaction number under the bottom. It will redirect to etherscan website. https://ropsten.etherscan.io

You will see the progress bar is running. When it done, you can go to see your METAMASK again.

Congratulations!! You got your first ETH.

go to the below website and write your first smart contract.
