Funded account, nothing showing up on testnet explorer

Question

I have the following public address:

GAUXOMOELZVPX6RTKTZHR4MFGBMLHRKSGLBGBTXBW2J7AKCBG7E3OLP3

I tried funding the account in node js with

request('https://horizon-testnet.stellar.org/friendbot?addr=GAUXOMOELZVPX6RTKTZHR4MFGBMLHRKSGLBGBTXBW2J7AKCBG7E3OLP3',function(err,res,body){
  console.log(body);
});

The body gave the default endpoint for the /friendbot without a tx hash.

Then, I tried to fund the same account with

https://www.stellar.org/laboratory/#account-creator?network=test

It said that it was successful, yet nothing shows up in the testnet explorer:

https://stellar.expert/explorer/testnet/account/GAUXOMOELZVPX6RTKTZHR4MFGBMLHRKSGLBGBTXBW2J7AKCBG7E3OLP3

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Friendbot intermittently failing to fund account

The issue persists. Yesterday it worked, but today not.

Until they close this issue, I think it's safer for you to use "Create Account" operation with their given set to set up your account.

Step 1, Generate Keypair

Step 2, "Create Account" with the following pair (<= 1000 lumen acceptable?)
