Hush Is Better Than Zcash

A website explaining in plain words, with references, why Hush is better than Zcash .

Ideas

These are core ideas that appear in the index.html, which get remixed and fusioned in various ways:

• Hush has mandatory privacy. You cannot make a non-private transaction, like Monero.
• About 40% of HUSH is stored in private addresses while only 5% of Zcash uses privacy features at all. (Feb 2021)
• Hush shows it's privacy metrics in real-time on explorer.hush.is, Zcash hides theirs.
• Hush is not in debt to Silicon Valley investors, Zcash owes millions to Venture Capitalists
• Hush uses the same advanced math that Zcash paid millions to develop, for free.
• Hush takes the best ideas from Monero and Zcash and combines them. Thanks!
• Hush is a tiny fraction of the price of Zcash, yet provides higher privacy guarantees.
• Hush relies on Bitcoin for security, Zcash stupidly tries to compete with Bitcoin.
• Hush is a GPLv3 Free Software community. Zcash is a shady collection of companies and non-profits.
• Hush invents new technology to prevent blockchain analysis. Zcash works with and gets paid by blockchain analysis companies.
• Hush tells the public the truth. Zcash tries to hide security problems and their various shady dealings.
• Hush has more network-level privacy than Zcash. It uses TLS, like the green lock in your browser.
• Hush has more blockchain-level privacy than Zcash. For any transaction, you cannot see the sender, receiver or amount.
• Hush beleives in full-disclosure, Zcash hides vulnerabilities.
• Hush does not work with or accept money from privacy-hating organizations, as does Zcash.
• Hush has Delayed-Proof-of-Work and protected by Bitcoin hashrate security, unlike Zcash.
• Hush was the world's first Pure Sapling cryptocoin, making it drastically faster than Zcash.
• Hush has the world's most private and secure block explorer, where Zcash explorers are privacy nightmares.

Thank you so much for your attention! Please hate us more, we are making a scrapbook.

Thank You

Thank you to Satoshi for building on the shoulders of people before them, not being afraid to "roll your own crypto", and creating something beautiful. It was not the beginning nor end of the story. Bitcoin maximalists are deranged lunatics and privacy coin developers will prove you wrong, mark our words.
