@franciferro that post (https://facebook.com/francesca.ferro.94/posts/10215864382916930) needs to be publicly accessible, but it is not. It needs to be a public post.

Seems that this faucet is indeed down. Not sure what the issue is. There's another one recently launched by MyCrypto that you could give a try: https://support.mycrypto.com/how-to/getting-started/where-to-get-testnet-ether

ребята кран работает отлично, смотрите: в самом посте сообщения которое они сами заполняют автоматически есть нулевой (genezis) адресс. вот именно вместо него вставляете адресс своего кошелька и все постите,далее копируете ссылку на временную метку самого поста( твита) и вставляете в поле на сайте крани ==== радуемся халяве которая ничаго не стоит, но зато халява, ВСЕМ УДАЧИ
