<p>Your ISPs know too much. HUSH was the very first cryptocoin to enforce encrypted Peer-To-Peer (P2P) connections, which is just like the little lock in your browser tab, which means "https" is being used. Modern websites are encrypted because so many problems and attacks happen when they aren't.</p>
<p>When Satoshi wrote Bitcoin, "http" was still widely being used and Bitcoin spoke in plaintext. Unfortunately just about every cryptocoin has kept this design flaw. HUSH requires encrypted connections between peers, where ARRR does not. This means that when you make a transaction, even though your address is not known, your "transaction ID" and IP address is known by ISP.</p>
<p>With HUSH, every node connection must be encrypted with https, which means your ISP (and the ISP of your ISP, etc..) does not know when you make a transaction, nor your "transaction ID". They always know your IP address, which is why not giving them your txid is so important. For the nerds: we use TLS 1.3 ONLY (no older TLS versions are allowed) and downgrade attacks are not allowed, i.e. if your node can't speak TLS 1.3 with valid ciphersuite, it cannot connect to the network.</p>
<p>ARRR exists for 2 years and more than 90% of the total supply had been mined already which means that a few individuals (Pirate devs) own most of the coins. Hush was created in November 2016 and only about 50% has been mined as of May 2021, over 4 years after the original launch of HUSH. HUSH has the same "emission schedule" as Bitcoin itself: block reward halving every 4 years.</p>

<p>Hush does not support KYC. Hush does not help the identity theft industry by linking personal information to blockchain data, which does not work to reduce fraud and is almost always stolen, re-sold and used for illegimate purposes: pirate.black/changelly-exchange-listing-is-live</p>
<p>Hush was the first coin ever to measure anonsets in real-time. <ahref="http://attackingzcash.com/anonset/">Anonsets</a>, AKA "anonymity sets" are a measure of how much privacy a privacy coin has. Hush was the first cryptocoin ever to measure this in real-time, via the getchaintxstats RPC, which Duke Leto worked on in Bitcoin Core.</p>
<p>Bitcoin Core has code from HUSH since Duke Leto upstreamed a change from Hush's version of getchaintxstats to the version in BTC Core. Pirate attempted to pay him to add this so-called zindex feature, but he refused, and so they are unable to measure their anonset in real-time.</p>
