Sandbox testnet not working?

NymVPN Ask for help
1

Hello there,
I am pretty new to nym, so I hope I am doing right writing here.

I am highly interested in nym and the nym network, so I want to contribute and host a node. I have installed my node and added configuration, so now I want to test my setup in the testnet, so my node doesen’t get banned if I misconfigured anything. The documentation says I should go to https://faucet.nymtech.net/ to get testnet tokens. I have tried different notworks, different devices, different browsers, but the homepage is not working.

So Question 1: Where can I aquire testnet tokens to bond my node to the testnet?

Second, when I switch my wallet to testnet, I get an errormessage:

So Question 2: Is my wallet broken? Or is the testnet broken?

Thanks a lot in Advance guys!

Strange message in the Android app

Is no one using the testnet nor feels responsible for the testnet?!

Hey

The faucet issue has been fixed. You can get sandbox/testnet tokens here:

Your wallet is not broken. The error was caused by an outdated RPC URL. Please use:
validator-sandbox-1.nymtech.net

Thanks for the info.

The faucet works now. You should consider updating the documenation, there ist the wrong faucet mentioned.

Maybe also add a information about the outdated RPC URL.

Thanks a lot for your help!

I have a small additional question about the faucet. The documentation says, you should recieve 101NYM, but I recieved only 100NYM and within the bonding process I get an error, beacuse I have to less amount of NYM to bond the node..

Could you please have a look about this?
