@sicobra00
Looks like you don’t plan to reply to my comments on discord (where you’ve spam posted your faucet link across various channels), so I’ll rewrite here:
My first thought was: “Nice work!”.
But then I saw that you’ve bot attacked the “All That Node” faucet to fund your faucet…
That’s not really helping anyone.

Besides of that, I can see in the html code of your faucet that you plan to add “premium options” and a way to pay for testnet coins.
That’s not what a testnet is intended for - especially not with funds you’ve stolen from other faucets.
Testnets are meant to be free so everyone can test without investing real money.

Edit: Silently deleting posts when being challenged says everything…

There is two new Goerli faucet. One is giving 0.2 gETH daily and the other one is giving 0.1 gETH daily.

Goerli faucet: 0.2 gETH daily

Goerli faucet: 0.1 gETH daily

User need to validate with a telegram account to claim goerli eth daily for free.

As there is no submit form on your website I am sending here. Congrats for the website. :ok_hand:

@blacktexto: Thanks, but I’ve decided to only list the most reputable faucets from now on. The amount isn’t really a bottleneck anymore, so the risks linking to all outweighs the benefits imo. Kinda sad delisting some great (and surely well intentioned) ones, but I think it’s for the best to minimize risk for users and not list more than necessary.

I understand your point. Your website was a good source of traffic. I wish you the best. :slight_smile:

33

@desy I strongly advocate your decision.
Not because of reputation and security, rather because both faucets are selling goerli funds.
Whenever using one of these faucets (which are completely similar code base), you get an ad for their premium services telling you you can get xx more for only x$ or stuff like that…
The whole concept of these sites is to attract users by a small free drop, just to offer them the paid options afterwards.

Besides of that, again both sites are funded by abusing the good will of a goerli whale who tried to give users the ability to spin up validators… I’m in contact with him, and he’s actually quite mad of this abusive behavior and will take additional steps to prevent such patterns in future.
That’s again a drawback for many users as it’s getting harder to gather goerli funds again, just because some guys need to make money with a free network :confused:

(Lol, I just saw, that I’ve been proposing that faucet earlier here too… They’ve started as a free faucet and were properly funded by q9f earlier… No Idea when they decided to sell funds and steal from others for profit… What a shame)

Hello @desy. Thanks for aggregating the reputable faucets.

I work on the team that runs the Coinbase Wallet faucet (https://coinbase.com/faucets). We would welcome adding our faucet to the faucetlink directory. Our faucet drips various amounts per network per 24 hours. We require users to hold a minimal mainnet ETH balance to use the faucet to stop/slow the bots/spammers from draining the faucet. Please let us know if anything is needed from us to add the faucet to the directory, assuming you’re taking new submissions. Thanks again!

Do you really need to force users to download your product to use your faucet?

I totally understand that you don’t have any obligations against community or anything, and you’re running the faucet for marketing reasons, which is totally fine.

But others like alchemy are doing the same, without forcing users to use their products for it…
Its full with ads and you can even get more when using their stuff, but at the end it’s still optional.

I don’t really like the way to enforce product placements for a faucet.

Imo advertisement is ok, but fully agree on the importance of enabling standard sign in. Especially with the mainnet balance requirement it’s extra risk for many users that need to move around their seed phrases.

In any case to get listed @cb-jake let me know the 0x address from which coins are sent.

Infura announced its faucet, you can add it:

Hi! I am Joan from GetBlock, a leading blockchain RPC node provider that supports 50+ blockchains. I see that you write that you know a goerly whale, would it be possible to connect us with him?

I’d really like to discuss an opportunity to support the web3 community of developers.

39

Heya,
Goerli is in a very bad state, is already marked as deprecated and will be shut down at the end of the year.
Unfortunately all the goerli whales I knew decided to sell or give away their funds, so they don’t have much left.
I’d suggest focusing on a newer testnet like sepolia - or wait for holesky that starts in september.

Thank you for sharing this, Sepolia is something we also are in search of, so if you have contacts in this field also, we would appreciate your help with connections.

41

hey @desy there’s a goerli faucet from a partner that I would love you to consider it:

it’s based on social auth (twitter)

42

@JoGetBlock:
I’ve tried to get some kind of clarity of how the fund distribution on sepolia is managed and who to ask for bigger amounts of funds.
Unfortunately I didn’t really get a useable reply again. It seems to be the “normal way” to just randomly ping various EF guys until someone decides to give out some funds.
I’d suggest taking a look into the ETH R&D discord. Most EF guys & Devs sit there :wink:
I know this is annoying, and I promise it’ll be even more annoying once you face the reaction times for such requests from EF guys :stuck_out_tongue:
It sounds funny and ironic, but I’m actually quite mad about that stuff… There is really no need to make that process that unintuitive and hard. But it’s not on me to decide on this. I tried to help Unitap with their initial funding, and it literally took weeks to get something - and the person I told unitap to write to is now mad at me because of telling them to ask him…

Btw, @desy:
Unitap now provides their faucet services for sepolia, too.
Might be worth being added as they’re quite reliable for goerli too :slight_smile:
They’re dropping 1 SepETH per request, with BrightID as protection method.
Wallet behind is 0xb3A97684Eb67182BAa7994b226e6315196D8b364

@croll83:
I’ve tried your faucet. It works, but I don’t think your protection mechanism is really protective.
I have easily been able to use a random twitter handle to request funds with.
Twitter luckily displays who retweeted your post, so It’s not even hard to find a handle that works :smiley:
I guess if I’d just try through all the handles that retweeted your post (~3600) I’d easily get a few hundred drops :stuck_out_tongue:

Thanks @pk910 for the feedback, will fw it to our partner that built this…

44

@desy we are also offering FREE 1 Goerli-ETH to all users who signup to our MPC based wallet platform.

Can you please add our page as well?

https://metaclav.com/goerlifaucet/dev-goerli-ape

Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to see the demo of the faucet within our platform.

45

Here is the video explainer how to signup and claim the daily Goerli ETH

@pk910 were you able to test MetaClav’s faucet as well? Would love any feedback as you seem to understand the nuances deeply. Ty!

47

I tried, but hadn’t been able to test it, because I don’t own (and hopefully don’t ever have to own) a apple device. (personal antipathy against that company :smiley:)

I don’t really have any feedback as I don’t fully understand what the app is there for.
Is it just a sort of sybil protection or is that app actually managing the wallet, including private key management and stuff?

In general I don’t like the way to force users to use a specific (new) product to use a faucet.
Some promotion is ok, but forcing users to use a special kind of wallet is too much.
Especially in the way coinbase does it with their additional mainnet balance restriction,
it introduces an additional risk to users, who need to use that new wallet they’re not familiar with to fiddle around with mainnet funds…

Think about the scenario where faucets are mostly used:
A developer built some smart contract and wants to test it on a testnet.
He probably deployed something before, using metamask / hardhat / other toolings, so he’s familiar with that.
Now he needs some testnet funds and is suddenly forced to use a completely unrelated product he doesn’t really need and actually don’t want to use, just to get hands on some testnet funds.
That’s not really Developer friendly.

I think it’s not even helpful for the app operator when force-onboarding users that actually have no real interest to use their product. Of course, it pushes user counts and looks great in marketing reports :roll_eyes:
But I think new applications should onboard users by offering some great feature, so users actually want to use that product, instead of forcing them by using the rare testnet funds as the actual “feature”.

However, I don’t want to prejudge your faucet - as said I haven’t been able to test it :wink:
If you’re just using the app as a sybil protection to check for the apple id or so, that’s something different in my eyes. A little bit over-protective, but that’s up to the faucet.

Sorry if that wasn’t what you wanted to hear, but you’ve asked for it :smiley:
I tried testing it already some weeks ago, but couldn’t proceed without the apple stuff.
I didn’t write yet, because I don’t always want to nag around about new faucets.
Like others you’ve probably invested a lot of time to build it up and if you didn’t steal funds to run it and don’t sell these funds for profit, it’s definetly nothing to critism too much :wink:
