# Troubleshooting using aoScan

Working with a decentralized computer and network, you need to be able to troubleshoot more than your own code. You need to be able to track messages. This is where [https://aoscan.xyz](https://aoscan.xyz) becomes an essential tool in your toolbox.

Now that we've tested the token and it's working as expected, we can send some tokens to `Trinity`. We'll send 1000 tokens to `Trinity` using the `Action = "Transfer"` tag.
```sh
aos> Send({ Target = Trinity, Action = "Transfer", Quantity = 1000 })
aos> Send({ Target = ao.id, Action = "Transfer", Recipient = Trinity, Quantity = "1000"})

When `Trinity` receives the tokens, she'll respond to the transfer with a message to confirm that she's received the tokens.

# Testnet Info
# Get involved with the ao testnet

On February 27, 2024, `ao` Testnet was launched, for developers and early adopters to explore the hyper parallel computer.

## Get onboard

- What is the ao testnet?
## What is the ao testnet?

The ao testnet is setup to allow users to interact with the ao computer without fees, to test and build towards mainnet.

- How can people get involved? (Do stuff, earn cred!)

The best way to get involved is to build and use the ao computer with the aos console. See `Things to do`, and you can earn Testnet CRED Tokens as you go.
The best way to get involved is to build and use the ao computer with the aos console. In the `Things to do` section below you will find many activities to try, each helping you earn CRED tokens (the testnet's currency) as you go.

- How to install
## Installing the aos client

Once you have [NodeJS](https://nodejs.org) on your machine, all you need to do is install aos and run it:

```sh
npm i -g https://get_ao.g8way.io
```

After installation, we can simply run the command itself to start a new aos process!

```sh
aos
```

- How to join the chat
## Joining ao's native community chat

Use [Blueprints](/guides/aos/blueprints/) `chat` to load the chat client code into your process.
The ao network hosts a number of chat servers that allow you to converse with other devs, right from your aos console. To load the chat client run the following:

```
.load-blueprint chat
```

Then join the `Getting-Started` room and say `Hi`
To show the available the available rooms you can run:

```
List()
```

You can join a room and start chatting with other devs as follows:

```
Join("Getting-Started", "yourName")
Say("Hi")
```

## Things to do
## First steps in the ao testnet

In order to get up to speed with building in ao, we recommend that you check out the tutorials here on the cookbook:

- Build your own tokenized chat room with the [Begin](/tutorials/begin/) tutorial
- Build a bot to play in the ao-effect arena with the [autonomous bots](/tutorials/bots-and-games/) tutorial

## Help build the ao ecosystem and earn CRED!

The ao ecosystem is in a very early stage and full of opportunity. There is a community `quest` board full of ways that you can get involved testing and building software to grow the ecosystem, all while earning its native currency -- testnet CRED.

To list the currently available quests join the `Quests` chat channel with `Join("Quests")` and `Say "/Quests"` to receive a list of quests.

- Build your own tokenized chat room with the Begin tutorial
- Build a bot to play in the ao-effect arena with the bots tutorial
- Pursue quests on the board and earn testnet cred!
Have fun and feel free to ask other builders in the ao chat for help if you need help!
