/*

To set up a new alert system
----------------------------

Create a new alert key pair:
openssl ecparam -name secp256k1 -genkey -param_enc explicit -outform PEM -out data.pem

Get the private key in hex:
openssl ec -in data.pem -outform DER | tail -c 279 | xxd -p -c 279

Get the public key in hex:
openssl ec -in data.pem -pubout -outform DER | tail -c 65 | xxd -p -c 65

Update the public keys found in chainparams.cpp.


To send an alert message
------------------------

Copy the private keys into alertkeys.h.

Modify the alert parameters, id and message found in this file.

Build and run with -sendalert or -printalert.

./hushd -printtoconsole -sendalert

One minute after starting up, the alert will be broadcast. It is then
flooded through the network until the nRelayUntil time, and will be
active until nExpiration OR the alert is cancelled.

If you make a mistake, send another alert with nCancel set to cancel
the bad alert.
