<p>Zcash Company was trying to keep it secret and this is when most Zcash people, including security officers and engineering, blocked him on Twitter, to the detriment of all Zcash users. The "Sapling Woodchipper" CVE-2019-11636 has actually gotten worse since Zcash made their transaction fees ten times less, in an effort to control fees, they made the attack ten times cheaper.</p>
<p>Hush uses the same zero-Knowledge math, for free. Zcash spent millions of dollars to develop bleeding edge new mathematics, called zk-SNARKs (zero knowledge succinct non-interactive arguments of knowledge), which Hush uses for free. Zcash Company additionally spends obscene amounts of money maintaining this code as an upstream, for free. Zcash has no "technological moat" and Hush takes all the best ideas, for free, and combines them with the best ideas from Monero. Thanks Zcash!</p>
<p>Hush is free software. We are a GPLv3 Free Software community, so Hush owns it's own patents and intellectual property. If you use our stuff in an uncool way, we will send Software Freedom Law Center to you. They love GPLv3 enforcement.</p>
<p>Zcash steals ZIP400, with cryptographic proof. Daira, author of Zcash Protocol, was stupid enough to steal the work of Duke Leto (ZIP400, twitter.com/dukeleto/status/1325043400035471361) and tried to delete all history of Duke writing the document. They failed to correctly change history and left traces that prove Duke Leto wrote ZIP400 and that Zcash Foundation stole the document, committing MIT Copyright Infringement by removing Duke Leto's name from the document.</p>
<p>Unlike most free software projects, Hush developers are open to granting MIT/Apache2 licenses to companies who want to use our code in business ventures, which we support. We just don't support writing code for free and then companies taking it, making their riches, and giving nothing back and not appropriately paying the people who maintain production. Pay before you play.</p>
<p>Hush has network-level privacy. Zcash and Bitcoin itself have no network-level privacy, it makes sense for Bitcoin as it is not a privacy coin and everything is public. Encrypting connections between Bitcoin full nodes would mostly be a waste of resources and it would prevent some very old computers from joining the network, potentially. OK Satoshi, you get a pass from Duke.</p>
<p>Now Zcash, on the otherhand, is supposed to be a privacy coin right? It would benefit from network-level privacy such as SSL/TLS (like the little green lock in your browser), but they never implemented it. Either they are stupid and lazy, or they are smart and realize that since most Zcash transactions don't use privacy, it's basically worthless to add network encryption to Zcash.</p>

<p>Hush is a platform to make privacy coins. Hush gives you the ultimate freedom to make your own privacy coins, which can integrate with Hush or not. Zcash wants to be a king, where you live on their land and pay them a tax. With Hush, you can make your own kingdom (or queendom) and there are no taxes paid to Hush, as opposed to building on Ethereum. Hush Smart Chains can be completely independent of Hush, or be protected by Hush (and Bitcoin hashrate) via Delayed-Proof-of-Work.</p>
