===========
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A script to call a faucet to get Signet coins.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Syntax: `getcoins.py [-h|--help] [-c|--cmd=<bitcoin-cli path>] [-f|--faucet=<faucet URL>] [-a|--addr=<signet bech32 address>] [-p|--password=<faucet password>] [--] [<bitcoin-cli args>]`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `--cmd` lets you customize the bitcoin-cli path. By default it will look for it in the PATH
|
||
|
|
* `--faucet` lets you specify which faucet to use; the faucet is assumed to be compatible with https://github.com/kallewoof/bitcoin-faucet
|
||
|
|
* `--addr` lets you specify a Signet address; by default, the address must be a bech32 address. This and `--cmd` above complement each other (i.e. you do not need `bitcoin-cli` if you use `--addr`)
|
||
|
|
* `--password` lets you specify a faucet password; this is handy if you are in a classroom and set up your own faucet for your students; (above faucet does not limit by IP when password is enabled)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If using the default network, invoking the script with no arguments should be sufficient under normal
|
||
|
|
circumstances, but if multiple people are behind the same IP address, the faucet will by default only
|
||
|
|
accept one claim per day. See `--password` above.
