On a first run or after an upgrade, Windows release builds wrote the bundled Sapling params, asmap, node and miner (about 88 MB) in App::init, before the first frame: 0.5-3 s of frozen blank window, 5-30 s on a slow disk or under antivirus. Zip, AppImage and .app builds copied the bundled files into the daemon dir and hashed the 51.5 MB of params on the UI thread at the first node start, a 0.3-1.5 s freeze in the wizard or the connect loop. A stat-only check at startup decides whether anything is missing, stale or unverified; a normal launch starts no thread and shows nothing. Otherwise one background job extracts (Windows) or copies (Linux, macOS) the files, then verifies the params once: - The first frame paints at once. If the job takes longer than 0.4 s, a chip at the bottom shows "Preparing wallet files... N%", then "Verifying wallet files...". - A node start on the UI thread while the job runs is deferred and replayed when it ends (never into a bootstrap download, a restart or a live connection); worker threads wait, and give up on quit. After an upgrade that ships a new miner, the node starts after the miner is written instead of before. Pool-miner starts and the miner version check wait too, so the old miner is never run or reported while it is being replaced. - Each file goes to "<name>.partial", is flushed and renamed into place under one lock shared with the daemon start, the bundled-node reinstall and the miner extraction, and the job stops between 4 MB chunks at shutdown. An interrupted write used to leave a truncated binary that was trusted forever; a leftover .partial is now removed. Other behaviour changes: - Linux and macOS full-node builds copy the bundled node files (about 77 MB) into the daemon dir at first launch, even if the wallet ends up on an external node; before, this happened at the first embedded start. - Lite no longer writes the 53 MB of params and asmap it never reads. - A disk-full or permission failure that leaves the node files unusable shows a warning; a miner blocked by antivirus alone does not. - A corrupt or truncated param in a zip, AppImage or .app install is replaced from the bundle and verified again instead of trusted forever. - Reinstalling the bundled node holds off the connect loop and a deferred start for its whole run (either could launch the old binary while the new one was written), and is refused while another restart is running.

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
