Go-ethereum: Currently impossible to get Rinkeby ETH: zlib issue w/ Rinkeby test-net faucet.

[antsankov]

I'm trying to get testnet Eth, I create the tweet, and paste it into the frontend. And I get this weird error zlib: invalid header. Not noticing anything in the JS console.

Workaround: use google-plus (maybe also facebook works - but I don't want to create one account there) - the problem seems to only appear with twitter

Twitter rolled out an update and apparently also updated their HTTP compression/encoding. I'll need to make a faucet update to more gracefully handle whatever Twitter hit it with.

As a side note where did the github option go? Any other options for us non-social networkers?

@karalabe told me that github asked to remove this option

What about pastebin?

Same problem, and would rather not have to make a public post via social network - some of us are trying to keep up the illusion we are not nerds.

Can we not just use a recaptcha?
