Do you need some “fake” Ether to play around with the Ethereum testnet?

Just follow this step-by-step to be an Ethereum millionaire (on the test net)

This step-by-step was part of one of my NFT sessions where I was showing my students how to mint an NFT.

If you want to learn how to create NFTs. check out my NFT course on Udemy. If you are looking to grab some test Ether, just follow the steps!

Why would I want to have “test” Ether?

Well, there are different reasons why you may want to use some test Ether. Maybe you want to test how to create an NFT without incurring gas fees (the fees that you pay in the Ethereum network). Maybe you want to test a new Ethereum application that you have developed, test a smart contract (oh yes, please dotest smart contracts!). Maybe you just want to get familiarized with Ethereum and the respective Ethereum wallets by sending around test Ethereum… Enfin, Etherum test networks are great precisely to test anything!

Pre-requisites to get test Ether:

• A computer
• Internet connection
• Chrome or Firefox or Brave browser
• Metamask wallet
• Some test ETH in the Rinkeby network
• Creativity :)
