I am trying to setup zcash on linux for learning. I tried to send coins from https://faucet.testnet.z.cash/ but get error message " Issue sending transaction. Is your address correct"
https://explorer.testnet.z.cash/address/tmXpdTncrdUZC3XYEz4d4jXXWeCfrZ4RJ2Z

./src/zcash-cli getinfo

}

Not sure what am I missing?, Any help is appreciated.

Its probably the punctuation chars not being ‘escaped’ properly on your send command, if you’re doing it via the command line its fiddly.

Try this command to see if you’re on the right fork
“zcash-cli getblockhash 584000”
If it shows 00367515ef2e781b8c9358b443b6329572599edd02c59e8af67db9785122f298, you’re on the right fork; if anything else, you should shut the node down.

Zcash is not a Ethereum token, Etherscan will not work to check Zcash transactions.
