Hush Delayed Proof Of Work

The software which performs the actual action of injecting data into blockchains is called Dragon.

It's not a silent Dragon, it's quite talkative and likes to talk about blockhash data across chains. You could say it spits DPoW fire cross-chain.

Dragon is an evolved form of a previous software called iguana. Dragons are bigger and better than iguanas, as everybody knows.

Differences from Iguana

Dragon inherits some features from Komodo Iguana, specificallly those needed to make notarizations, and the dependencies of those algorithms. Large amounts of non-notarization code was deleted in the making of dragon, drastically reducing the attack surface, increasing maintainability and reducing RAM/CPU at compile-time and run-time. Some things that were deleted

Old version of libjpeg (8.4) that has CVE's: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2020-14153
JUMBLR, a failed mixer project
Market-making bots
APIs to talk with various exchanges that either don't exist or are being investigated
InstantDEX, a failed precursor to BarterDEX/AtomicDEX
Datachain, experimental precursor to KV
Ramchain - not even sure but it got deleted

Installing Dragon

Build instructions for NN operations:

cd dragon

./m_notary_build

Start main-net notarizations:

./m_notary_HUSH

Start 3rd party notarizations:

./m_notary_3rdparty

Running Production

Get those bath salts ready.

To build and launch in one step

Run

./m_notary
