`What are you trying to do?` I’m setting up a full developer environment on my VPS to experiment with NFT minting and smart contract deployment on the Midnight testnet. I’ve already installed the Compact compiler (v0.2.0) successfully and I’d like to continue with contract deployment, minting, and interacting with the Midnight chain. I want to learn and build practical examples — such as minting an NFT, testing private contracts, and deploying Compact contracts to the testnet — but I can’t proceed because I’m missing some tools and documentation. `What’s not working or unclear?` The tDUST faucet at [Midnight | Request Test Tokens](https://midnight.network/test-faucet) fails when I enter my Lace wallet Preprod/Preview address (addr\_test1…) — it does not send any tokens. get errors The available docs seem incomplete — I need clear setup instructions for connecting to the Midnight node / testnet, running a local proof server, and deploying compiled contracts using compact or a midnight-cli tool. I can’t find official links to other tools or SDKs (like the “midnight” CLI or testnet node binaries). `What have you tried so far?` Installed Compact v0.2.0 via the official GitHub release (Linux build). Verified compactc --version and compact compile work. Set up a VPS (Ubuntu) and built all dependencies following public instructions. Installed Lace Wallet, switched to Preprod, and generated a testnet address. Tried the faucet multiple times on Chrome and Firefox — same error every time. `Add any relevant code or error messages.` ````Request Failed to request tokens. Please check your wallet address and try again.``` ```` ---

I’m having the same issue on Brave. IS there any resolution? ---

Re Faucet issue: it looks like’re using a wrong wallet, in order to receive tDust you need to have Midnight build of the lace wallet, the receive address then starts with this: mn\_shield-addr\_test ---

Currently only the Midnight version of the Lace wallet is compatible with Midnight Testnet. So make sure that you are using the right Midnight dedicated wallet. In this way you will have a midnight address that started with **`mn_shield-addr_test1` The recent Lace Midnight Preview wallet is 2.34.0** I have just tested the faucet right now and it’s working fine. So I assume the missconfiguration is from your side. Make sure you are using the [latest Lace Midnight version](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/lace-midnight-preview/hgeekaiplokcnmakghbdfbgnlfheichg).
