By default, `zcashd` logs to `~/.zcash/testnet3/debug.log` when running on testnet. To output to console, run `zcashd -printtoconsole` or set `printtoconsole=1` in your `zcash.conf`.

Also useful: `-debug=[STRING]` to log certain debug info. For miners, `-debug=pow` can be useful to get an idea of what is going in (although it is of course inefficient to leave that enabled full-time).
