The large-wallet notification just said "This wallet file is large" — users who don't know what a shielded "note" is had no idea what to do or why. The nudge now teaches: its message explains that each payment is stored as a separate note, that notes pile up and enlarge/slow the wallet, and that consolidating merges them while leaving the balance unchanged. The text wraps in full in the bell/ alert panel and the Settings wallet-size banner (and shows on hover from the ellipsized toast), and the hover tooltip adds the detail plus points at the new Auto-consolidate toggle. When Auto-consolidate is ON the nudge no longer stays silent — it shows a calm one-time info (wallet_size_auto_info) telling the user the background consolidator is already handling it, so the accumulating notes never look like an unexplained problem. When it's OFF, the educational warning keeps its "Consolidate notes…" action that opens the dialog. The Consolidate dialog's own intro (consolidate_desc) is likewise expanded from a one-liner into a plain-language explanation of what notes are and why consolidate. English source updated; the reworded existing keys keep their prior (valid, if terser) translations and the new wallet_size_auto_info falls back to English pending a translation pass. Build + tests + hygiene green. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Building
Quick Setup
The setup script detects your OS, installs all build dependencies, and validates your environment:
./setup.sh # Install core build deps (interactive)
./setup.sh --check # Just report what's missing
./setup.sh --all # Core + Windows/macOS cross-compile + Sapling params
./setup.sh --win # Also install mingw-w64 + libsodium-win

Build Steps
### Clone repository (if not already)
git clone https://git.dragonx.is/dragonx/ObsidianDragon.git
cd ObsidianDragon/
Windows Build
./build.sh --win-release
Release Build
./build.sh --linux-release # Linux release + AppImage
./build.sh --win-release # Windows cross-compile
./build.sh --mac-release # macOS .app bundle + DMG
./build.sh --clean --linux-release # Clean + Release
Running
-
Start dragonxd (if not using embedded daemon):
dragonxd -daemon -
Run the wallet:
cd build/bin ./ObsidianDragon
The wallet will automatically connect to the daemon using credentials from ~/.hush/DRAGONX/DRAGONX.conf.
Using Custom Node Binaries
The wallet checks its own directory first when looking for DragonX node binaries. This means you can test new or different branch builds of hush-arrakis-chain/hushd without waiting for a new wallet release:
- Build or download the node binaries you want to test
- Place them in the same directory as the wallet executable (e.g.
build/bin/) - Launch the wallet — it will use the local binaries instead of the bundled ones
Search order:
- Wallet executable directory (highest priority)
- Embedded/extracted daemon (app data directory)
- System-wide locations (
/usr/local/bin,~/dragonx/src, etc.)
This is useful for testing new branches or hotfixes to the node software before they are bundled into a wallet release.
Configuration
Configuration is stored in ~/.hush/DRAGONX/DRAGONX.conf:
rpcuser=your_rpc_user
rpcpassword=your_rpc_password
rpcport=21769
