***This is a test network. Coins have no value.***

**alt.signetfaucet is intended for education purposes

  in controlled environment with free testing sats.

  The learned skills may be used with real Bitcoin

  main network.**

A POSIX shell implementation of a Bitcoin faucet

intended for use with [Busybox](https://busybox.net).

Re-implementation. The original source of this faucet

comes from https://github.com/kallewoof/bitcoin-faucet

The point is to have something that can run anywhere

and has no dependencies other than Bitcoin Core and

`busybox` (which can be statically compiled for

`Linux x86_64` into a binary smaller than 1MB).

It runs at https://signet25.bublina.eu.org (try to open it

in the Tor Browser) and any feedback is welcome here in

GitHub issues, or via email.

## Documentation

### API not supported

The original REST API is following:

    https://signetfaucet.com/claim/addr/amount/captcha

Since 2025 change, the faucet is intended to be interactively used

by a human running it in a modern browser (Chromium and Google Chrome

work for sure, both desktop and mobile).
