# HUSH 3
|
|
|
|
## What is HUSH?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
HUSH (originally Zdash) is a code fork of [ZCash](https://z.cash/) which has
|
|
it's own genesis block. It is not a fork of another network. Based on
|
|
Bitcoin's code, it intends to offer a far higher standard of privacy through a
|
|
sophisticated zero-knowledge proving scheme that preserves confidentiality of
|
|
transaction metadata.
|
|
|
|
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, the synchronization process could take a day
|
|
or more once the blockchain has reached a significant size.
|
|
|
|
**HUSH is unfinished and highly experimental.** Use at your own risk!

## Claiming Funds From Old Hush Wallets
|
|
|
|
Hush migrated to a new mainnet after Block 500,000 on the old Hush blockchain.
|
|
Funds in addresses as of Block 500,000 were transported to our new chain. About
|
|
31,000 addresses with at least 0.00000001 HUSH were transported to the new Hush
|
|
mainnet.
|
|
|
|
To claim funds on the new chain, there are few options.
|
|
|
|
### Funds on exchanges
|
|
|
|
Firstly, no bueno! Not your keys, not your coins. It's best not to store coins
|
|
on exchanges. But in this case, you lucked out! There is nothing to do to claim
|
|
new coins if you have coins on an exchange that supports the new Hush chain.
|
|
The exchange will follow the instructions from the next section and you will
|
|
magically have funds on the new chain. Note that old Hush addresses started
|
|
with `t1` and now they begin with `R`.
|
|
|
|
To see what an old HUSH v2 address looks like on the new chain, this online tool
|
|
can be used: https://dexstats.info/addressconverter.php
|
|
|
|
or this command line tool: https://github.com/MyHush/hush3/blob/duke/contrib/convert_address.py
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Using an old wallet.dat
|
|
|
|
Backup your old HUSH wallet.dat, and backup any current wallet.dat that is in your
|
|
|
|
~/.komodo/HUSH3/
|
|
|
|
directory. There is no way to lose funds, as long as you have backups!!! Make sure
|
|
to make backups. Do not skip this step.
|
|
|
|
Make sure any/all GUI wallets are stopped! Also make sure your old Hush node
|
|
and new Hush3 node are stopped:
|
|
|
|
cd hush3
|
|
./src/hush-cli stop
|
|
|
|
Do not copy wallets or move wallets while your full node is running! This could
|
|
corrupt your wallet!
|
|
|
|
Now copy your old Hush wallet.dat to
|
|
|
|
~/.komodo/HUSH3/
|
|
|
|
with a command like
|
|
|
|
# DO NOT RUN THIS WITHOUT MAKING BACKUPS!
|
|
cp ~/.hush/wallet.dat ~/.komodo/HUSH3/
|
|
|
|
The reason this works is that both old HUSH and new HUSH are still Bitcoin Protocol
|
|
coins, which both use secp256k1 public keys. Now start your HUSH3 node again,
|
|
with this special CLI argument that will clear out transactions from your wallet:
|
|
|
|
cd hush3
|
|
./src/hushd -zapwallettxes
|
|
|
|
This will cause a full history rescan, which will take some time. Once it's complete,
|
|
you can see your funds with this command:
|
|
|
|
./src/hush-cli getwalletinfo
|
|
|
|
NOTE: Do not use this wallet except to send funds to a new wallet!
|
|
|
|
### Private Keys
|
|
|
|
You can also transport funds one address at a time via private keys.
|
|
|
|
Agama Desktop Wallet WIF-to-WIF Tool can convert between old HUSH and new HUSH3
|
|
private keys.
|
|
|
|
### Web Wallet Seed Phrase
|
|
|
|
Nothing needs to be done, and if you use the Hush web wallet with a seed phrase,
|
|
you can unlock your new funds on the new Hush mainnet with the same seedphrase.
|
|
|
|
This web wallet is hosted on a best-effort basis to give newcomers an easy way
|
|
to make addresses for mining and other uses. Please heed this advice to keep
|
|
your funds safe:
|
|
|
|
* DO NOT USE FOR LARGE AMOUNTS, use a full node or light wallet
|
|
* ALWAYS ACCESS VIA https://
|
|
* DO NOT USE FROM PUBLIC WIFI
|
|
* DO NOT USE ON A COMPUTER OTHER PEOPLE USE
|
|
* BACK UP YOUR SEED PHRASE (multiple paper copies)
|
|
|
|
Even if you follow all those rules, due to web wallets relying on DNS and IP
|
|
addresss, there are still potential attacks. You have been warned: https://wallet.myhush.org
