Hi,
I am playing around with the latest version of Zcash (v2.0.3) to get a better sense of the SNARK component. I am running a Zcash node on testnet.
I tried to get some Zcash from https://faucet.testnet.z.cash/, but it didn’t quite work. I still have zero balance in the address I used. Could someone please point me to the right place, or send some Zcash to this address:
ztestsapling1fqxxqe4kcn8ntrdcjupzsu2n5y8vn7c5ncekhds56htsp6m9dszcsueezce5qe34l0pwsmc7rk8
Thanks a lot!

Assuming you used that address, the reason it didn’t work is it isn’t compatible with Sapling addresses so you would have to send to a Sprout or t-addr and send to Sapling from there. I opened this issue some time ago Faucet doesn't work with sapling addresses · Issue #3 · zcash/zfaucet · GitHub.
Just noticed it’s cert has expired too so could do with a bit of attention.
Edit, it’s also running 2.0.1 which reached end of support halt a couple weeks ago so there’s many reasons it isn’t working…
The team is actively looking into fixing these issues but it might be a couple weeks. Thanks for raising this, we’ll keep tabs on this discussion and that ticket for any new points.
