 \nsection{Hush v1-v2 Total Supply Bug}
 
-The original Hush devs added the original pre-mine in such a way that Hush would have a supply greater than the intended 21,000,000 after about 30 years. This fact was discovered in the process of emulating the current Hush supply curve (halving interval) on our new Komodo-based chain. This bug will be corrected on our new chain (Hush v3) by ceasing block rewards when total supply hits 21M coins, as intended.

-But because the original devs of Hush added a pre-mine of 160,000 HUSH in blocks 1 through 4, the current Hush supply curve will continue past the 21M supply mark until Block 26039999 when supply is 21159937.4895 HUSH and the last block reward of 1 satoshi is awarded just before the 31st halving.

-The core issue is that blocks 1 through 4 had a block reward of 40,000 each instead of 12.5 each in the GetBlockSubsidy() function defined in main.cpp, but the overall emission schedule was not modified to take this into account.

+\nsection{New Blockchain Size}
+
+The Hush blockchain will essentially be compressed, down from its current size
+of about 3.4GB to a few megabytes. This is related to the fact that there are
+about 30,000 unique addresses on the Hush blockchain which contain funds.

+This compression will greatly improve the user experience of new Hush users,
+which can install and sync a full node in just a few minutes.

 \nsection{Special Thanks}
 
 Special thanks to jl777 and the greater Komodo community for inspiring a new
 generation of cypherpunks to innovate outside the constraints of Bitcoin and
 Zcash core communities.
 
+Special thanks to radix42, Savior Of The Memo Field, for mentoring me in my
+early days as a cryptocoin dev.
