SilentDragon
SilentDragon desktop wallet for HUSH runs on Linux, Windows and macOS. This is experimental software under active development! Get real-time support on our Telegram support group and feel free to join the main Telegram group as well.
The following are screenshots for each SilentDragon tab:
PRIVACY NOTICE
SilentDragon contacts a few different external websites to get various bits of data.
* coingecko.com for price data API (defaults to on, optional)
* explorer.hush.is for explorer links (optional)
* dexstats.info for address utilities
* Address Asset Viewer menu action (optional)
* Convert Address menu action (optional)
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
Go to the releases page and grab the latest installers or binary. For Arch Linux users, this is available from the AUR.
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.
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.
If SD crashes when autostarting hushd, you may have run out of memory. This could happen with very large wallets. Try closing unnecessary applications and/or browser tabs and retry. Another method is to start hushd first, then start SD, which will connect to the existing hushd.
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 or within your operating system package manager. 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.
Building on Linux
Linux Troubleshooting
If you run into an error with OpenGL, you may need to install extra deps. More details here
Error
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lGL
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
Solution
sudo apt-get -y install libglu1-mesa-dev freeglut3-dev mesa-common-dev
Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04
You can install the pre-reqs and build on Ubuntu 18.04 & 20.04 with:
sudo apt-get -y install qt5-default qt5-qmake qtcreator
git clone https://git.hush.is/hush/SilentDragon
cd SilentDragon
./build.sh linguist
./build.sh
./silentdragon
Arch Linux
You can install the pre-reqs and build on Arch Linux with:
sudo pacman -S qt5-base qt5-tools qtcreator rust
git clone https://git.hush.is/hush/SilentDragon
cd SilentDragon
./build.sh linguist
./build.sh release
./silentdragon
Building on Windows
You need Visual Studio 2017 (The free C++ Community Edition works just fine).
From the VS Tools command prompt
git clone https://git.hush.is/hush/SilentDragon
cd SilentDragon
c:\Qt5\bin\qmake.exe silentdragon.pro -spec win32-msvc CONFIG+=debug
nmake
debug\SilentDragon.exe
To create the Visual Studio project files so you can compile and run from Visual Studio:
c:\Qt5\bin\qmake.exe silentdragon.pro -tp vc CONFIG+=debug
Building on macOS
You need to install the Xcode app or the Xcode command line tools first, and then install Qt.
TODO: Suggestions on installing qt5 deps on a Mac
git clone https://git.hush.is/hush/SilentDragon
cd SilentDragon
# These commands require qmake to be installed
./build.sh linguist
./build.sh
make
./SilentDragon.app/Contents/MacOS/SilentDragon
Building SilentDragonX
git clone https://git.hush.is/hush/SilentDragon
cd SilentDragon
./build-sdx.sh
./build-sdx.sh linguist # update translations, might not be needed
The binary will be called silentdragonx
Emulating the embedded node
In binary releases, SilentDragon will use node binaries in the current directory to sync a node from scratch. It does not attempt to download them, it bundles them. To simulate this from a developer setup, you can symlink these four files in your Git repo:
ln -s ../hush3/src/hushd
ln -s ../hush3/src/hush-cli
The above assumes silentdragon and hush3 git repos are in the same directory. File names on Windows will need to be tweaked.
Where is my wallet stored?
Linux: ~/.hush/HUSH3
Windows 10: C:\Documents and Settings\%user\Application Data\Hush or C:\Users\%user\AppData\Roaming\Hush
Mac : ~/Library/Application Support/Hush/HUSH3
