Maidsafe-testnet - Error on auth create --test-coins

Hi, so I’ve seen a lot of people on the forum lately asking how to get involved in the testnet, run a node, etc. A few have been even aware of things like the CLI user guide , the primer , etc. but were intimidated I think by the length or didn’t feel like they had the time to read it, so they made questions here instead.

I’m following @scorch 's ‘Quick Start for Farming’ Wiki, then the CLI user guide.

When I try to create test coins, I get the error…
AuthdError: ClientError: No response reeived from echo services

As far as I understant, that tutorial was for testnet, that was not released yet. We have to wait for official statement, that public testnet is running…

It seems you are hitting some Maidsafe nodes which are either not up and/or not ready for use yet.

Yea my bad, perhaps I was a little vague in the original post, but test net isn’t launched quite yet
