## Ropsten Sink
A sink to the [Ropsten Faucet](http://faucet.ropsten.be:3001/).
RopstenSink will help recharge your test accounts on the [Ethereum testnet](testnet.etherscan.io). Under the hood it will create temporary accounts and ask for ethers from the Ropsten Faucet, and finally funnel the ethers to the address you specified.
### Caution
Please use at your own risk. And please show some respect to the Ropsten Faucet. Don't ask for an incredible amount of ethers.
### Installation
`npm install -g`
### Usage
1. Make sure you have an Ethereum client running on testnet.
e.g. To run geth on testnet locally
`geth --light --testnet --rpc --rpcapi="eth,net,web3,personal" console`
2. Run the sink
`sink
`
