node6.dragonx.is (13.140.58.251) and node7.dragonx.is (5.104.83.100)
are new full nodes in regions the existing five did not cover. Both go
into the compiled-in fixed-seed list and into the DRAGONX -addnode set.
node8 through node10 are reserved names with no DNS records yet. A
hostname that does not resolve is harmless on this path --
ThreadOpenAddedConnections simply fails to open the connection and
retries on its normal cycle -- and reserving the names in the binary
means a future seed can be brought into the default addnode set by
creating a single DNS record, with no release and no waiting for users
to upgrade. seed.dragonx.is already gives the DNS-seed path that
property; this extends it to the addnode path.

A DRAGONX node had no working peer discovery. Both mechanisms were broken, and a
third bug hid the fact.
1. DNS seeds were Hush's, and all three are dead. chainparams_commandline() sets an
assetchain's port, magic, blocktime, upgrade heights and checkpoints but never
touches vSeeds or vFixedSeeds, so DRAGONX silently inherited CMainParams':
seed1.hush.is, seed2.hush.is and dns.leto.net. None of the three has an A record
any more -- verified against 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8, with google.com and
node1..node5.dragonx.is resolving fine from the same host as a control. Replaced
with the five DragonX node hostnames, which do resolve and do listen.
2. Every fixed seed carried port 0. contrib/seeds/generate-seeds.py documents its
input as <ip>:<port>, but contrib/seeds/nodes_main.txt held bare IPs, so
parse_spec() took the port as empty and emitted 0x00,0x00 for all five entries.
The fixed-seed fallback -- which exists precisely for when DNS seeding yields
nothing -- was therefore handing out unconnectable addresses. Added the port to
nodes_main.txt and regenerated; entries now end 0x55,0x08 (21768).
3. ThreadDNSAddressSeed never incremented `found`, so "%d addresses found from DNS
seeds" printed 0 unconditionally, whether seeding worked or not. That is almost
certainly why nobody noticed the seeds had gone dead: the one diagnostic that
would have shown it was hardcoded to say zero.
Verified on a fresh datadir (empty addrman, separate ports, real node untouched):
DNS seeding now reports "5 addresses found from DNS seeds" where it previously
reported 0, and the fixed-seed path adds 5 entries carrying the correct port.
Note on scope: the five hostnames are single-A-record hosts, so each contributes one
address rather than the spread a real seeder returns. A dedicated DNS seeder, or
simply a round-robin A record over the seed set, would be the proper fix and needs
only a DNS change rather than a release. This restores a working discovery path;
it does not make it a good one.
Also corrected the generated header's #endif comment, which said
HUSH_CHAINPARAMSSEEDS_H while the guard is DRAGONX_CHAINPARAMSSEEDS_H.

Follow-up to the doc rebrand, addressing the previously out-of-scope legacy:
- Currency unit: strCurrencyUnits (chainparams.cpp) and CURRENCY_UNIT
(amount.cpp) "HUSH" -> "DRAGONX". Both are display-only (RPC help + metrics);
no logic comparisons, verified.
- depends mirrors: libsodium/boost/utfcpp fetched from git.hush.is/attachments;
repointed to canonical upstream (GitHub release / archives.boost.io / GitHub
tag) with the existing sha256 hashes verified to match those sources.
- Seeds: nodes_main.txt now lists the five node[1-5].dragonx.is IPs (DNS-resolved)
instead of Hush nodes; regenerated src/chainparamsseeds.h (was compiling Hush
seed IPs as the fixed fallback); generate-seeds.py header now says DragonX;
hush_seed_nodes.txt updated to DragonX seeds.
- Deleted Hush-history / wrong-for-DragonX files: contrib/snapshot/ (block-500000
Hush airdrop, ~10MB), notary_seeds.txt (Hush notaries; DragonX isn't notarized),
and the Hush emission scripts hush_supply, hush_supply_old, hush_halvings,
hush_block_subsidy_per_halving (hardcode Hush's 340000/12.5 economics).
Kept: hush_scanner (engine invoked by dragonx_scanner) and the "The Hush
developers" copyright headers (lineage credit).

The docs/packaging were largely un-rebranded Hush3 content, with several
docs stating facts that are wrong for DragonX. This rewrites them against
the verified DragonX source state.
Corrections (not just branding):
- PoW: RandomX (CPU), not Equihash/ASIC — README, overview.md, randomx.md
- Privacy: private from genesis (ac_private=1, Sapling@height1), not "as of
block 340000" — overview.md, payment-api.md
- Removed the false "coinbase must be shielded" consensus claim
(shield-coinbase.md, payment-api.md); coinbase is directly spendable
- Fixed default fee 0.0001 (was 0.0010000, 10x); stratum port 22769 (was 19031)
- datadir ~/.hush/DRAGONX, DRAGONX.conf, dragonxd/dragonx-cli/dragonx-tx,
git.dragonx.is throughout; branch model dev->dragonx
- Softened the inherited dPoW reorg claim (no live DragonX notary infra)
Packaging: fix build-debian-package.sh + gen-manpages.sh to use the dragonx
binaries/manpages; rename bash-completions to dragonx*; drop hush-arrakis-chain
from the package. Keep /usr/share/hush (hardcoded in the binary for params).
Also: README links/logo, ObsidianDragon + SilentDragonXAndroid wallets,
networking/init/dev-process/contrib/util rebrand, and leftover helper scripts.
Delete legacy duplicates (hushd.* init/service, HUSH3.conf examples,
OLD_WALLETS.md, hsc.md) and rename hush-uri.bat -> dragonx-uri.bat.
Out of scope (noted, not changed): historical changelog/copyright, the Hush
mainnet airdrop snapshot, seed data files, depends/ source mirrors, and the
in-code strCurrencyUnits="HUSH".

- Moved all seed related scripts to contrib/seeds for consistency
- Updated `makeseeds.py` to handle IPv6 and onions, fix regular
expression for recent Bitcoin Core versions
- Fixed a bug in `generate-seeds.py` with regard to IPv6 parsing
Allow for non-8333 nodes to appear in the internal seeds. This will
allow bitcoind to bypas a filter on 8333. This also makes it possible to
use the same tool for e.g. testnet.
As hosts with multiple nodes per IP are likely abusive, add a filter to
remove these (the ASN check will take care of them for IPv4, but not
IPv6 or onion).
