Fifth phase of the code-hygiene remediation, done per-file (18 files) via an
18-agent Workflow with strict guardrails. No consensus or security VALUES
changed (verified: pow/hush_utils/hush_bitcoind/net.h/crypter/stratum have
zero non-comment numeric changes); built clean, self-mined, verifychain=true.
Totals: 57 stale comments corrected, 46 user-facing branding fixes, 6
behavior-preserving named constants, 4 stratum warnings, 77 items deliberately
left (consensus/security values, copyright headers).
- Stale comments -> DragonX: corrected HUSH3/HUSH/Komodo/Equihash/Arrakis
leftovers that misdescribed the active chain (pow AWT/lwma notes, txdb
"Equihash solution" -> RandomX, wallet CLTV/overwinter/Sapling@1 notes,
util datadir provenance, crypter's stale mapSproutSpendingKeys invariant).
Replaced unprofessional/editorializing comments (profane TODOs, "developers
are elite") with neutral technical notes, preserving the real design info.
- User-facing branding: dumpwallet header "created by Hush" -> "DragonX";
RPC help text hushd/hush-cli/hushprivkey/hushaddress/Agama -> dragonx*;
rebranded provably-dead "HUSH3" symbol-fallback literals to DRAGONX.
- Named constants (same values, non-consensus/non-security): addrman
peer-selection factors (kChanceFactorGrowth/kChanceScale/deprioritize),
sietch MIN_ZOUTS, an init notarization-DB cache size.
- Left the security macros (ECC/TFM_TIMING_RESISTANT=420, comment-clarified
only), the consensus subsidy/commission literals + 128/129 TRANSITION
(comment only), and copyright headers untouched.
- Added a prominent WARNING that the stratum server is Equihash-era and NOT
updated for DragonX's RandomX PoW (flagged, not rewritten).

Minimal rebrand (see compliant-rebrand branch for full rebrand):
- Rename binaries: hushd/hush-cli/hush-tx → dragonxd/dragonx-cli/dragonx-tx
- Default to DRAGONX chain params without -ac_* flags (randomx, blocktime=36, private=1)
- Update configure.ac: AC_INIT([DragonX],[1.0.0])
- Update client version string and user-agent to /DragonX:1.0.0/
- Add chainparams.cpp with DRAGONX network parameters
- Update build.sh, miner.cpp, pow.cpp for DragonX
- Add bootstrap-dragonx.sh utility script
- Update .gitignore for release directory
Share single RandomX dataset across all mining threads:
- Add RandomXDatasetManager with readers-writer lock, reducing RAM from
~2GB per thread to ~2GB total plus ~2MB per thread for the VM scratchpad
- Add LogProcessMemory() diagnostic helper for Linux and Windows
Any projects which want to use Hush code from now on will need to be licensed as
GPLv3 or we will send the lawyers: https://www.softwarefreedom.org/
Notably, Komodo (KMD) is licensed as GPLv2 and is no longer compatible to receive
code changes, without causing legal issues. MIT projects, such as Zcash, also cannot pull
in changes from the Hush Full Node without permission from The Hush Developers,
which may in some circumstances grant an MIT license on a case-by-case basis.
ZEC took the route of disabling this by default, so debug.log files grow without limit,
in attempt to gather more data about CVE-2019-16930, which was fixed in the same emergency
release as changing this default behavior.
KMD has chosen to ignore that ZEC change, which I find reasonable. We take the middle path,
and 10X increase the size limit.
Now debug.log must hit 100MB to be resized, and potentially lose some data about attacks.
