A guide to use the test environment for IOE Dapp transactions (SandBox transactions).
What is an Ethereum test chain? It is the four test networks that Ethereum officially uses for testing, the Ethereum in the test network has no value due to their testing purposes. There are currently three test networks running. First one is the blockchain that only supports the geth client POW, similar to the test network "Ropsten" of the Ethereum main network, the second one is the blockchain that only supports the Parity client POA, can only application purpose to the test network "Kovan", and cannot be Mining, last one is the blockchain that supports the Parity and Parity both clients POA's, same also can only for application purpose and cannot be Mining to the test network "Rinkeby".
Currently, the most common test network that developers use is "Rinkeby", therefore i will explain how to use Rinkeby to trade with IOE Dapp.
1.Creating a test network "Rinkeby" accountYou need to first convert your Ethereum wallet network to the Rinkeby test network (which will display the Main Ethereum Network at the beginning.). Using MetaMask wallet as an example, click the drop-down menu to select Rinkeby Test NetWork.

Website address:
https://faucet.rinkeby.io/https://i.imgur.com/E4dUVYB.pngTo ensure that it is not abused, Faucet needs to use a third-party account to confirm the applicant's identity and quota by posting a message with a wallet address on a social network and copying the message URL to the Rinkeby Ether Request box on the Faucet website.
Example:Try to log in Google+ social network(
https://plus.google.com/) and post your Rinkeby wallet address.

https://i.imgur.com/VG6IZp8.pngCopy the URL above and paste it to the Rinkeby Etheron request box on the Faucet website then select the Rinkeby Ethanaire (amount/cooling time) you want to apply for. The more the amount, the longer the application will be.

https://ioelink.net/(Because it is a transaction on the test environment, the IOE currency of the transaction do not have value).
https://i.imgur.com/nt6KAMH.jpgOn the trading page, enter the amount of Ethereum you wish to spend. The system will automatically calculate the number of IOE coins equivalent to the confirmed amount after transaction fees. You will need to then complete the confirmation to send the request. If you are using invitation codes to make your purchase, you will enjoy a lower, discounted transaction fee.
