Lesson 15: Insufficient funds - Goerli/Mumbai Eth token/faucet [SOLVED]

[DorianDaSilva]

Finding very difficult to find working faucets for Goerli. Is there any other testnet that can be used at this point? Where to get enough Goerli-Eth to deploy and work on projects?

Trying to deploy nftmarketplace.sol to Goerli, nftmarketplace contract is deployed but I get the following error due to lack of funds:

deploying "BasicNFT"insufficient funds for intrinsic transaction cost

Should I switch the network to polygon?

The most common faucets for GoerliETH are these two:

• https://goerlifaucet.com/
• https://faucets.chain.link/

Also, you can try using the Aave testnet and borrow some GoerliETH using as collateral assets they give you from their faucet. This not always works but sometimes it can give you extra GoerliETH

@santipu03 I actually tried all of these but got so little that after the 1st deployment I had insufficient funds. Looked for polygon & BSC but still very little test token.

Tried modifying the helper-hardhat.config.js as follows:

    5: {
        name: "goerli",
        ethUsdPriceFeed: "0xD4a33860578De61DBAbDc8BFdb98FD742fA7028e",
        vrfCoordinatorV2: "0x2Ca8E0C643bDe4C2E08ab1fA0da3401AdAD7734D",
        gasLane: "0x79d3d8832d904592c0bf9818b621522c988bb8b0c05cdc3b15aea1b6e8db0c15",
        callbackGasLimit: "500000", // 500,000 gas
        mintFee: "100000000000000", // 0.0001 ETH
        subscriptionId: "885", // add your ID here!
        ethUsdPriceFeed: "0xD4a33860578De61DBAbDc8BFdb98FD742fA7028e"
    },
}


const DECIMALS = "18"
const INITIAL_PRICE = "100000000000000"

Waiting on deployment to see if it works. It's amazing how difficult it is to find enough test token to develop which begs the question:
"How are we supposed to test and develop if we can't get the test token required to do so?"
