HUSH 2.0.0

What is HUSH?

HUSH (formerly Zdash) is a code fork of ZCash which has it's own genesis block. 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!

Where do I begin?

As a reference a guide for joining the main Zcash network may be used: https://github.com/zcash/zcash/wiki/1.0-User-Guide#using-zcash Users should not follow this guide blindly since it applies to ZCash instead of HUSH! The section of using the command line is relevant to HUSH.
