# 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](https://git.hush.is/hush) 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.
|
|
|
|
