Fix zcash-cli crash when printing help message
When a `zcash-cli` command fails, it attempts to print the help message for the command. However,
making the `help` call can also fail, and there was a bug in this check, so that we tried to display
the help message when the `help` call failed, and tried to display the error when the `help` call
succeeded – both leading to an assertion failure.

This also makes some minor changes to the output formatting.

Zcash 5.4.2

What is Zcash?

Zcash is an implementation of the "Zerocash" protocol. Initially based on Bitcoin's design, Zcash intends to offer a far higher standard of privacy through a sophisticated zero-knowledge proving scheme that preserves confidentiality of transaction metadata. More technical details are available in our Protocol Specification.

The zcashd Full Node

This repository hosts the zcashd software, a Zcash consensus node implementation. It downloads and stores the entire history of Zcash transactions. Depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process could take several days.

The zcashd code is derived from a source fork of Bitcoin Core. The code was forked initially from Bitcoin Core v0.11.2, and the two codebases have diverged substantially.

🔒 Security Warnings

See important security warnings on the Security Information page.

Zcash is experimental and a work in progress. Use it at your own risk.

📒 Deprecation Policy

This release is considered deprecated 16 weeks after the release day. There is an automatic deprecation shutdown feature which will halt the node some time after this 16-week period. The automatic feature is based on block height.

Other Zcash Implementations

The Zebra project offers a different Zcash consensus node implementation, written largely from the ground up.
