Title: Why are tokens so expensive on testnets? It costs a lot of dollars to get them. Post by: rillater on July 31, 2021, 10:42:20 AM Whether I work as a developer or hire someone to develop a smart contract, I have a cost per hour of work that must be paid.
If to test a contract in a testnet I have to spend an hour searching among the different faucets for one that works and that gives me the amount of "false" ether (or any token or in other blockchains) that I need to implement the contract, that Ether that has no value, ends up costing a lot. Token on testnets are supposed to be worthless and it should be quick to get them to test contracts. What's the point of spending time begging for pennies of ether (In some cases to get 0.001 )from various faucets until you get to test a platform? ??? From my point of view something is not working well. Title: Re: Why are tokens so expensive on testnets? It costs a lot of dollars to get them. Post by: btcltcdigger on July 31, 2021, 10:53:38 AM If you're talking about ETH testnets, then you should try other ones, as there are few of them.
On Rinkberry i believe, there is a working faucet that will actually give you 10 ETH, so give that a try Title: Re: Why are tokens so expensive on testnets? It costs a lot of dollars to get them.

I know how do you feel but there are some faucet for the ethereum test net and it gives you lots of ethereum testnet From my point of view something is not working well. https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/networks/ What you need to do to visit that link and then you will able to find some ethereum testnet faucet. I think that will help you a lot to gather ethereum testnet to be used to issue or test your testnet tokens. Title: Re: Why are tokens so expensive on testnets? It costs a lot of dollars to get them.

Post by: anu1908 on July 31, 2021, 02:11:11 PM one of the argument that i see is because testnet is actually not free. at least there is a cost to maintain the network, so not everyone will gladly support anything that you're trying to do. if you're not okay with that, maybe you can run a private network to test your project. at least in the early phase, before you're prepared to go alpha or beta.
btw is this related to your previous scam project? Title: Re: Why are tokens so expensive on testnets? It costs a lot of dollars to get them.

From my point of view something is not working well. I don’t know what expensive testnets you find. From my experience I can say that projects often offer their token for free so that people try and test their product. For example, rinkberry on Ethereum. They sent me 18 Ethereum at first and then, in theory, I could buy NFT and then sell it on their market. But I haven’t done it because their web-site didn’t load. |
