Need some help. I've set up the wallet on Metamask for the beta, got my 100 CFLR. What now? Has it now started yet?

I must say I have barely used discord because whenever I use it I get a headache. What a clusterf**k of an application. Don't know if it's just that it's too big to be organised or the information is just not there or I just suck at using it. Probably all three. Anyway where do I go to actually use these tokens? Or is that not possible yet?

Here’s an article I wrote on connecting MetaMask to Coston using our access point. https://www.ftso.com.au/how-to-guides/2021/05/24/configuring-metamask-for-coston-testnet.html

Thanks! Actually a long time lurker on this forum -  got my bag of Zerps back when Ripple was partnered with Computing for Good, still holding! Looking forward to seeing how Flare pans out

I haven't been on the Discord server since the first public beta, but I don't think anyone would be offended by calling it a cluster****. It's quite the experience. I don't think groups as large and a

Also for anyone wanting to join the beta who doesn't want to venture into the chaos of Discord, here's the info.

Set up a metamask wallet and then connect to the network using this information. Select connect to a new network then input this:

Coston Test Net (May 23, 2021)

Chain ID: 16

Asset Code: CFLR

RPC Endpoint: https://coston-api.flare.network/ext/bc/C/rpc

Block Explorer: https://explorer.flare.network/ 

After that you can go to this website (the 'faucet') to request your CFLR tokens to be sent to your metamask wallet, easy as a click of a button: https://faucet.towolabs.com/

FF's beta is not yet re-launched. So you must sit tight for now, kimo sabe.

The discord has like 24 separate read-only info channels, with all the info you'd need.

The read-only channels also seem chaotic to me. Maybe I'm just getting old...

Once the Beta starts, if you have any product specific questions around FlareX, FlareWrap, and FlareFarm, let me know.
 

I participated in the private Beta and am on that Discord but unfortunately it’s a lot more chatty now-a-days.

I appreciate that. It may be that I’m just not used to using discord. I’m not saying that particular Flare Finance Discord channel is bad, just in general I don’t like it much. I found what I needed eventually, but as I said it may be because I’m a millienial and I get the feeling that discord is a distinctly zoomer platform.

Man, the Millennials are really starting to get old.

Also https://faucet.ropsten.be/ for test ETH.

Still waiting on an official announcement for beta start, but should be soon from what I can gather.

An initial setup period was planned before the beta starts so everyone can setup the custom tokens etc.

What’s the use of the test ETH?

It’s used as gas for transactions on the Ropsten TestNet. One of the custom tokens used in the beta will be in the form of a stablecoin sent to your account on the Ropsten network.

You will then have to wrap it and send it to your Coston network to be used within the FF platform. That transaction requires gas in the form of Ropsten test ETH.

does the Ropsten testate have a different chain ID, etc? Or is it the same as the Coston Testnet? I've done a quick search on the discord and it seems like they are similar

The Ropsten network will have its own settings like so: 7166E5B3-EE4C-436F-A8D5-5438A89A6733.thumb.png.30d9973bb2d8026bd3c4efa7c15e84b3.png

which is the default settings for Ropsten. The Coston and Ropsten network need to be on the same account though, so they will then share the same addresses.
