Creating a wallet
The first step that we will need to go through, is the wallet creation:
Using
--fund ropsten
will automatically add ethers to your wallet on the ropsten network.
During the creation, you will be prompted for a password. Make sure to remember it for the following steps. You will see a message after completion of the command:
A wallet will be created in the current folder, in the wallet.json
file.
In the example above, the public address for the wallet is
0x10cFd56E11e7d66C8d0716Cd2D6B847Cb17ABeeD
. You will definitely get a different value.
Make sure ethers have been added into your wallet. You will need some for the next steps. Head to etherscan (https://ropsten.etherscan.io/address/PUT_YOUR_ADDRESS_HERE}) and verify the balance. You should have 1 ether. For instance, for the wallet created above, the URL is https://ropsten.etherscan.io/address/0x10cFd56E11e7d66C8d0716Cd2D6B847Cb17ABeeD.
After few minutes, if your balance stays empty, you can try to use a different ether faucet for ropsten network. For instance :
