# Install HUSH Look at [this guide](https://git.hush.is/hush/hush3/src/branch/master/INSTALL.md) if you have not already installed HUSH on the machine you intend to mine on. ###### *`Note:` If running Windows head over to the [releases page](https://git.hush.is/hush/hush3/releases) and download the latest Windows version. I would recommend installing [Windows Terminal](https://github.com/microsoft/terminal) to make it easier to access and execute commands with windows powershell* ###### *`Note:` If running on a Virtual Machine make sure the VM network settings are set to `Bridged Connection`.* # Linux - HUSH Smart Chain (HSC) Setup After installing HUSH open a terminal in `~/hush3/src` ###### *`Note:` installation path may be different depending on if installed as `root` or `normal` user, look for the `hush3` directory in either the `root` or `home` directory.* ### Start the HSC Input the following command in your terminal: ``` ./hush-smart-chain -ac_name=DRAGONX -ac_algo=randomx -ac_halving=3500000 -ac_reward=300000000 -ac_blocktime=36 -ac_private=1 -addnode=176.126.87.241 & ``` ###### *`Note:` Make sure to input any parts with "-ac" in this command exactly, otherwise your node may not be able to connect!* ### Enable Mining once the HSC is running all that is left to do is enable mining with this command: ``` ./hush-cli -ac_name=DRAGONX setgenerate true $(nproc) & ``` ###### *`Note:` you can specify number of threads to mine with by changing `nproc` to the number of threads you want* ###### EX: `./hush-cli -ac_name=DRAGONX setgenerate true 2 &` ### Verify Mining To make sure you are actually connected to the network and mining input the following command: ``` ./hush-cli -ac_name=DRAGONX getinfo | grep connections ``` - If it returns `"connection": 1` you are connected and mining.

Right click, `Open in Terminal` or type `powershell` in the address bar of windows explorer if windows terminal is not installed. ### Start the HSC Input the following command in your terminal: ``` ./hush-smart-chain -ac_name="DRAGONX" -ac_algo="randomx" -ac_halving="3500000" -ac_reward="300000000" -ac_blocktime="36" -ac_private="1" -addnode="176.126.87.241" ``` ###### *`Note:` Make sure to input any parts with "-ac" in this command exactly, otherwise your node may not be able to connect!* ### Enable Mining once the HSC is running all that is left to do is enable mining with this command, open another instance of terminal or powershell: ``` ./hush-cli -ac_name="DRAGONX" setgenerate true $(1) ``` ###### *`Note:` you can specify number of threads to mine with by changing `$(1)` to the number of threads you want* ### Verify Mining To make sure you are actually connected to the network and mining input the following command: ``` ./hush-cli -ac_name="DRAGONX" getinfo ``` - If it returns `"connection": 1` you are connected and mining.


# Shield and send newly mined DRGX Check if you have balance to spend: ``` ./hush-cli -ac_name=DRAGONX getbalance ``` Create a new zaddr: ``` ./hush-cli -ac_name=DRAGONX z_getnewaddress ``` SAVE YOUR PRIVATE KEY!!! ``` /hush-cli -ac_name=DRAGONX z_exportkey "zs1..." ``` Transfer all mined coins to a private zaddr address we just created: - With a second command it is possible to increase the number of utxos to shield to 180 (50 is default). - The third call will attempt to shield the maximum number of coins for a given zaddr per transaction. ``` ./hush-cli -ac_name=DRAGONX z_shieldcoinbase "*" "zs1..." ``` ``` ./hush-cli -ac_name=DRAGONX z_shieldcoinbase "*" "zs1..." 0.0001 180 ./hush-cli -ac_name=DRAGONX z_shieldcoinbase "*" "zs1..." 0.0001 0 ``` To send coins use the following call: (FROM address TO address) ``` ./hush-cli -ac_name=DRAGONX z_sendmany "zs1..." '[{"address": "zs1...", "amount": 69.69}]' ``` On Windows use: ``` ./hush-cli -ac_name="DRAGONX" z_sendmany "zs1..." '[{\"address\": \"zs1...\", \"amount\": 69.69}]' ``` # Useful RPC commands All RPC commands for Hush can be used the same way for any HSC. The total list: * [RPC commands](https://faq.hush.is/rpc/coinsupply.html) # How to build SDX on GNU/Linux (Full node GUI wallet) Install Qt5: ``` sudo apt-get -y install qt5-default qt5-qmake libqt5websockets5-dev qtcreator ``` Git clone and choose the dragonx branch: ``` git clone https://git.hush.is/hush/SilentDragon && cd SilentDragon git checkout dragonx ``` Make a symlink to your dragonxd binary (scary stuff 👻).
Your `dragonx-branch` path will differ, change it where you have your dragonxd! ``` ln -s ../dragonx-branch/src/dragonxd ``` Run build scripts: ``` ./build-sdx.sh linguist ./build-sdx.sh ``` Start SDX: ``` ./silentdragonx ```
