I don't know. You'd need to tell me specifically what the problem/error is

@ShahadatHossain I've just successfully sent coins to that address. However, check the unconfirmed Txs [here](http://tbtc.blockr.io/address/info/myVwyA9ooffVDqvbRJC4Kmspu2rDJBacTk), as it appears your previous attempt is unconfirmed, which suggests the faucet's daemon hasn't been working. I read your other post, so if you can rule out un-synched Blockchain then it looks like the faucet is the issue

Are you sending to a testnet address (begins with m, n, or 2)? I'm thinking you may be inadvertently using Mainnet or Regtest mode (beginning with 1 or 3).

Ensure your Bitcoin.conf file has `testnet=1` in it, or use the `-testnet` flag on the command line. Also be certain your blockchain is fully synched (this will take many hours, unlike regtest mode)

Go into BitcoinCore's client, and try `getnewaddress` in the console (help > console). Then copy/paste that address into the faucet, complete the CAPTCHA, and the coins will have been sent. You will need to have a completely synched blockchain before the coins will "appear".
