Zcash-faucet: testnet TAZ from your terminal with npx zcash-faucet <address>

So I built one: npx zcash-faucet That’s it. No account, no captcha: your machine mines a short proof-of-work (about 10-60 seconds), and 0.1 TAZ goes to your address as a real shielded testnet transaction. What it does Every address type: unified ( utest1… ), Sapling ( ztestsapling1… ) and transparent ( tm… ). Mainnet addresses are rejected before anything is sent. Nothing to install: needs Node 24.7+, and the CLI has zero dependencies. 0.1 TAZ per address every 24 hours. Command What it does npx zcash-faucet Mine a proof-of-work, get 0.1 TAZ npx zcash-faucet --status Health, balance, claims left npx zcash-faucet --donate Address to send leftover TAZ back to npx zcash-faucet --github Optional: skip mining by approving a GitHub login (no permissions, revoked right after) Why it shouldn’t die like earlier faucets Memory-hard proof-of-work (Argon2id). Each hash needs 19 MiB of memory, so GPUs and bot farms gain little over a laptop. Every challenge is signed f
