You will be steadier doing handstands than normal stands these days… said he in an excessively cruel and unnatural manner - sorry
Nothing up so possibly reassigned, idk.

As a very basic first step, you can check that the faucet service is running.
SSH to the machine (it’s running on the genesis node, which is the same IP address you’re attempting to contact it on with the get-faucet command), then do:
systemctl status faucet
journalctl -u faucet --no-pager
If it’s not running, the log from the journal might tell you why.

Success 
Comnet 2.0 on the horizon, not quite yet though.
Lets see what the next official test does before trying a community run.
New balance: 100.000000000
Successfully got tokens from faucet.

Cool. Did you restart the service?
I did nothing, started a new network and it worked, I had already brought the other down so started again to see if I can figure it out and all is good.
@chriso can I bring beta-build down after everything is set up.
Yeah, we need to extend the tool to do that actually.
I would recommend switching it off rather than deleting it, just because it’s a Terraform-managed resource. Then when you run a clean, it will get deleted.
It is giving me the run around again today, do you have any words of wisdom?

``We did see this genesis claim issue in the past, and the retry attempt was supposed to fix it.
Hey @Anselme is there anything else we can do here? Are more retries likely to solve it?
Tried running deploy again didn’t help but after a clean fresh start all worked well.
I haven’t been in faucet land for a while, but clean starts are generally the best way to go if retries don’t cut it. I suspect the main issue is in the way we handle network failure in the transfer between genesis and faucet. Since it’s not strictly network related we’ve kind of let it aside but I’m seeing a lot of faucet related complains on the forum so it’d be good to give it some love and get to the end of this.
For now clean starts are the best way.
