bananojs VS bananopy

You can build a faucet yourself with RPC docs, bananojs or bananopie then host it on any serverless platform like replit.

Check out https://banano.how if you're new, and if you are a developer, check out bananojsand bananopie.

Most updates come in the form of BananoJS. https://github.com/BananoCoin/bananojs/blob/master/docs/camo-banano-cli.md

If you run a Banano node it contains an API to manage wallets. https://github.com/BananoCoin/banano/wiki/Running-a-Docker-Bananode Alternatively if you don't want to run a node and are familliar with JavaScript you can use BananoJS https://github.com/BananoCoin/bananojs BananoJS will still require a node endpoint to publish blocks but you can find some public ones here: https://public.banano.live

This pairs nicely with bananojs: https://github.com/BananoCoin/bananojs Reading their docs, kalium node looks like it’s open for public use, but I could be wrong.

To actually give out the banano, you use your private key to sign a send block (which contains information of your account, your new amount and the destination and some other info). You can take a look at an example JSON request here. You would send a standard POST request to a node. GoBanano provided the sufficient framework for creating the blocks and balances but didn't have a wrapper for the RPC calls. Libraries such as bananojs or bananopy provide wrappers and are easier to setup/use. prussia dev's opensource banano faucet also contains a lot of the logic you may need to setup a faucet. Hope this helps!

If you know Javascript, you can use BananoJS to handle wallets: https://github.com/BananoCoin/bananojs

And in some client/node libraries (example), you can find this unit:

There's nothing stopping the community from arbitrarily defining 19 decimal places as a new unit. There is already one such arbitrary unit, banoshi, which has 27 instead of the full 29 decimal places.
