Some comments turned out to be wrong and some could be more helpful. It turns out that when AveragingWindowTimespan was changed to fix a HUSH mainnet bug long ago, that introduced a bug for HSC's that do not use a 75s block time. Since the default is 60s that likely means all HSC's that will be created. There were no production HSC's in use at the time of that bugfix, so the bug went unnoticed until DRAGONX was launched. The bug then manifested as the DRAGONX difficulty bug, which cause the difficulty to never correct down, only up and lead to extremely long block times on DRAGONX mainnet. This code change ensures that HUSH mainnet uses the same hardcoded AWT as it did previously and all other HSC's will use params.AveragingWindowTimespan() , including DRAGONX mainnet. This seems less dangerous than changing AveragingWindowTimespan() on HUSH mainnet.
Hush
What is Hush?
Hush implements Extreme Privacy via blockchain tech. We have our own genesis block. We are not a chain fork (copy) of another coin. We are based on Bitcoin code, with sophisticated zero-knowledge mathematics added for privacy. This keeps your transaction metadata private!
This repository
This software is the Hush node and command-line client. It downloads and stores the entire history of Hush transactions; depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, it will likely take a few hours at least, but some people report full nodes syncing in less than 1.5 hours. A competing privacy coin takes over 24 hours to sync their full nodes because of Sprout Transactions, lulz.
BANNED BY GITHUB
In working on this release, Duke Leto was suspended from Github, which gave Hush developers the impetus to completely leave that racist and censorship-loving platform.
Hush now has it's own git.hush.is Gitea instance, because we will not be silenced by Microsoft.
All Hush software will be released from git.hush.is and hush.is, downloads from any other domains should be assumed to be backdoored.
Hush is unfinished and highly experimental. Use at your own risk! Just like Bitcoin.
