DanS 46693a355a docs: rebrand documentation, packaging, and helper scripts to DragonX
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".

Notes on getting gitian builds up and running using KVM:###

Note: These are legacy notes inherited from upstream. The real, supported DragonX build path is ./build.sh together with the depends/ system; gitian is legacy and is retained here only for historical reference.

These instructions distilled from: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Installation ... see there for complete details.

You need the right hardware: you need a 64-bit-capable CPU with hardware virtualization support (Intel VT-x or AMD-V). Not all modern CPUs support hardware virtualization.

You probably need to enable hardware virtualization in your machine's BIOS.

You need to be running a recent version of 64-bit-Ubuntu, and you need to install several prerequisites:

sudo apt-get install ruby apache2 git apt-cacher-ng python-vm-builder qemu-kvm

Sanity checks:

sudo service apt-cacher-ng status  # Should return apt-cacher-ng is running
ls -l /dev/kvm   # Should show a /dev/kvm device

Once you've got the right hardware and software:

git clone https://git.dragonx.is/DragonX/dragonx.git
git clone git://github.com/devrandom/gitian-builder.git
mkdir gitian-builder/inputs
cd gitian-builder/inputs

# Create base images
cd gitian-builder
bin/make-base-vm --suite trusty --arch amd64
cd ..

# Get inputs (see doc/release-process.md for exact inputs needed and where to get them)
...

# For further build instructions see doc/release-notes.md
...

gitian-builder now also supports building using LXC. See https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/lxc.html ... for how to get LXC up and running under Ubuntu.

If your main machine is a 64-bit Mac or PC with a few gigabytes of memory and at least 10 gigabytes of free disk space, you can gitian-build using LXC running inside a virtual machine.

Here's a description of Gavin's setup on OSX 10.6:

  1. Download and install VirtualBox from https://www.virtualbox.org/

  2. Download the 64-bit Ubuntu Desktop 12.04 LTS .iso CD image from http://www.ubuntu.com/

  3. Run VirtualBox and create a new virtual machine, using the Ubuntu .iso (see the VirtualBox documentation for details). Create it with at least 2 gigabytes of memory and a disk that is at least 20 gigabytes big.

  4. Inside the running Ubuntu desktop, install:

    sudo apt-get install debootstrap lxc ruby apache2 git apt-cacher-ng python-vm-builder

  5. Still inside Ubuntu, tell gitian-builder to use LXC, then follow the "Once you've got the right hardware and software" instructions above:

    export USE_LXC=1 git clone https://git.dragonx.is/DragonX/dragonx.git ... etc
