Oddbean new post about login | logout @mempool you might know about this?
we don't run a signet faucet but we do run a testnet4 faucet https://mempool.space/testnet4/faucet have you tried https://signetfaucet.com?
Yes it's completely useless, so is the irc channel to get coins. No idea how I'm supposed to work on lightning without a testnet or signet :/
For lightning work I basically just use mutinynet Signet from @OpenSecret . It's great and they have some decent amount of lightning nodes on the network. blog on it: https://blog.mutinywallet.com/mutinynet/ Faucet: https://faucet.mutinynet.com/ Block Explorer: https://mutinynet.com/
