## PRIVACY NOTICE
SilentDragon contacts a few different external websites to get various
bits of data.
* coingecko.com for price data API
* explorer.myhush.org for explorer links
* dexstats.info for address utilities
This means your IP address is known to these servers. Enable Tor setting
in SilentDragon to prevent this, or better yet, use TAILS: https://tails.boum.org/
# Installation
Head over to the releases page and grab the latest installers or binary. https://github.com/MyHush/SilentDragon/releases
## hushd
SilentDragon needs a Hush full node running hushd. If you already have a hushd node running, SilentDragon will connect to it.
If you don't have one, SilentDragon will start its embedded hushd node.

If you don't have one, SilentDragon will start its embedded hushd node.
Additionally, if this is the first time you're running SilentDragon or a hushd daemon, SilentDragon will download the zcash params (~1.7 GB) and configure `HUSH3.conf` for you.
Additionally, if this is the first time you're running SilentDragon or a hushd daemon, SilentDragon will find Sapling params (~50 MB) and configure `HUSH3.conf` for you.
Pass `--no-embedded` to disable the embedded hushd and force SilentDragon to connect to an external node.
## Compiling from source
SilentDragon is written in C++ 14, and can be compiled with g++/clang++/visual c++. It also depends on Qt5, which you can get from [here](https://www.qt.io/download). Note that if you are compiling from source, you won't get the embedded hushd by default. You can either run an external hushd, or compile hushd as well.
