Would appreciate if someone would be able to help me with an error l am getting on the install of the desktop wallet for Windows.

I have attempted to install the Hush Desktop wallet but it is constantly displaying an error message.

"general unexpected critical error has occured:
com.eclisesource.json.ParseException: Expected value at 1:1 "

Thanks in advance

That means you have no hush.conf. go to %APPDATA%\hush
make a new file and name it hush.conf

use our tool here and copy it to your hush.conf you just made

May look stupid to you.. but, once again, can we agree about what needs to be done to participate in airdrop?!

I have some HUSH on Cryptopia

Questions:
1. To participate in airdrop I have to transfer to my tAddress which I can create in HUSH Wallet, right? (Avoiding using default "bug" tAddress in wallet?)
2. After the time defined for "snapshot", can we bring our coins back to exchange or should we wait for airdrop to finish?
3. How we will get BTCH - by importing HUSH wallet.dat to new BTCH wallet or?

Sorry if it seems to simple to you, but just want to clear it...

1. yes   
2. yes   
3. maybe, the best way is to import your private key into the new wallet.

The image on thread is invalid, and the coin price is pumping, wired things.

Thanks for point this out!! Looks like we missed a few images when we moved to our new website. They should be all fixed now

Hush + swingwallet.
Barterdex send funds by creating watchonly addresses wich you don't own private keys...Who own these keys? That seems to stink far away...
BE VERY CAREFULL !!! After watching blockexplorer, I can say it is a robbery...more than 10000 Hush have transited in this address....This IS NOT a bug ! but a HACK !

Here is the address: t1Y9ukZMkNAYonCFVp3jSdx7NT8dEsXss7k

What you are seeing is people having their funds returned to them that accidentally used this address. We (as in all of us) are very lucky that the person who holds that private key is an honest and outstanding human being!   

I wonder how many people would be so honest to wake up and see so much money and decide to reach out and offer to return it!

This is a copy/paste of my submit to MADBUDA (A hush team crew member) in his Github repo:

Just a question...(I'll wait 24h before spreading the information) IT seems that you own the privates keys of this address : t1Y9ukZMkNAYonCFVp3jSdx7NT8dEsXss7k (or know who own them) It's a famous "watchonly" address created by Hush swing wallet while using BARTERDEX. I sent 20.06795216 HUSH from my Barterdex smartaddress t1VEj5rxQ83NtBLnHqFtzfUKmis43VjQepe on Jan 10, 2018. So I'd like you to give my funds back on my hush address : t1K2XcsKk2gHxT95TLDYauV4SLe8Vps5odu THANK YOU !

https://explorer.myhush.org/address/t1Y9ukZMkNAYonCFVp3jSdx7NT8dEsXss7k and http://dashboard.myhush.org/ (See your donation address)

So for explanation, the swing hush wallet, when used with Barterdex, create 'watchonly addresses' in wich you can deposit, by mistake your funds. The watchonly address that my wallet has created has made transactions ( a huge amount) with the donation address of the 'developper' MADBUDA member of hush team! So, it seems this (these) guy(s) are stealing money while talking about a bug....Be AWARE of that !

https://github.com/madbuda/hush-1.0.13-bitcoreTLS/issues/1


First off, yes there is a bug where an address is being added to the hush swing wallet, so far this is only affecting people that have Barterdex installed and the latest windows Swing wallet. We have tried to do our best to let people know about this. You will not have the private keys so you will not be able to send funds from this address, it is added as watch only. I have been able to recreate this with a fresh install of hush and barterdex.   

Now for the good news, we have been able to track down the private key holder and they have agreed to send me that key. As Xman79 is aware when I promptly replied to his issue on github. Hopefully I wil have the key in the next few hours.   

For anyone else that accidentally sends fund here, please provide a screen shot proving this (cryptopia truncates) along with the TX ID and I will make sure you get your funds sent back to you. You can email me directly Larry @ myhush.org if you do not want to post it publicly.

Just to toss this out there, bitcore stuff is done and I threw in a little extra and merged in the TLS into our hush-bitcore

New explorers are syncing now, the backend hushd will have TOR,TLS,and clearnet P2P. Also load balancing both the web front end for the explorer and the API.

This will make our web wallet much more stable

0 connection again. on cryptopia. must be maintenance. i just send hush to cryptopia then i check the coinsinfo its 0 connection.

I have been on contact with Cryptopia and provided them some assistance, it is not just hush they are having issues with. Looks like the hush wallet is online now and they have made some changed to improve the reliability of their hush wallet.

As an aside, they have taken their zcash wallet offline to make the same changes.

What preclude two people from choosing the exact same secret phrase when creating a wallet, other than it being highly probable?  Would both parties not have control of the wallet?

This topic has been brought up many times since bitcoin first introduced this method in 2013.

In short, yes, if you chose a simple phrase and someone else did the same. You would each have control of the same set of private keys.

In reality this is highly unlikely, and the math is out there in regards to guessing a phrase.

With 10,000 computers guessing 1 billion seeds / second (not at all feasible to check balances that fast), then assuming there are 2 million funded wallets (there aren't - there are only 2 million non-zero addresses on the blockchain) then,
3.402823669×10³⁸ / 10,000 / 1x109 / 2x106 = 1.701411835×10¹⁹ seconds to find any one of those seeds. Which is about,
539514153540 years

I think we will highlight what type of phrase should be used more prominently and possibly link off to a mnemonic phrase generator

What is the guarantee of the long-term work of this project?

i will also want to know. I have few coins, which i mined and bought. But i am still loking on the roadmap, no new echanges, no updates...i just hope, that i did not made mistake, that i left zen instead for the hush. we will see..

Sorry, we have been more focused on dev work then providing updates lately. We have people working on a revamp of our website and the HushNG wallet. We are also working on some improvement to the base hushd code now that we have released 1.0.12.

Your best bet is to look at our open issues as we are using this to track our development work https://github.com/MyHush/hush/issues

We are also looking for an active community manager / PR person to help feed updates to the world. Us dev's are terrible at this

madmining.club was not paying to my address for a five days, noticed it just now http://take.ms/fji69

joined that pool few weeks ago and all was fine until this

switching back to nova..

You where not paid as your address has been used on my pool and others submitting fake shares...


Hence after we figured out how to identify this, you get 500 or so fake shares in a row before your shares where removed and given to the real miners
2017-09-30 11:44:57 [Payments]  [hush] Removed shares for blacklist address t1ZW8PKchzzCoXXAwqeePPKcv8fHqNk2BrF in block round 179011

I'll make sure to reach out to @ocminer from suprnova so he's aware of his new fake miner

BTW, thanks for making this public... It's a nice example for the others that use fake miners


why so harsh?

what do you mean by fake miner?

1. i am using Claymore v12.5 http://take.ms/DrLQL with 2 radeons rx 480 & 270 (this was pointed to your pool) and a separate rx270 (this always pointed on nova)

2. as i understand - you banned my wallet number on 30 september (last payment) but why then you accept shares on the next days until 5 october ?
miner was showing "share accepted" like always i even checked my miner page at the site but didnt check payments section - everything else was looking fine like avg hashrate and graph.
how could i know that my rig was sending invalid shares in situation like this?

3. couldnt that invalid shares came from a faulty videocard? check your "identification" mechanics

4. i mine on suprnova since december last year when it was zdash times and mined more than 1200 coins there so say what you want
i respect ocminer and sure that he'll see the truth

5. how do you have right to show my ip address?

No, a bad video card would not submit thousands of invalid solutions. A bad card or faulty miner would have a malformed response to the server,submit the work late, or just plain submit an invalid share and be rejected (and reported back to the miner). This is specifically submitting solutions in a particular way in order to bypass validation.

You never submitted a valid solution to my pool, you where paid while we worked on a fix to block these types of miners.

Your address and IP are already public knowledge as they have been reported by another pool previous to being found on mine.

BTW your screenshot proves nothing...

And harsh? idk, maybe because you essentially stole from 100's of miners for weeks

Hi
Do you plan use securitynodes in future?

No, we do not have securenodes, masternodes, extortionnodes, etc anywhere on the roadmap nor do we plan on implementing them

Hi!

Where can I find HUSH blockchain to download?

Thanks!

The wallet will download it for you, we do not provide a "pre-seed" version

you can use https://myhush.github.io/config-generator/ to build a hush.conf that includes some fast nodes

Or

Go to http://myhush.network and pick a few nodes near you and add them to your hush.conf

I tried disabling ad blocker and also enabling pop-ups for your site but no change. I am using chromium v60.0. I have my location and camera set to blocked, javascript allowed, images to 'show all', and everything else set to allow or ask first.

Strange... I'll have to dig a little deeper and see what the issues could be

Would it be possible to just check actual vs expected luck on the pools that you can and ignore the pools that you can't for now?

I will work on adding this to my pool, currently I am just doing
Code:
network hashrate / pool hashrate * block time
Source

polling stats from other pools and calculating is a bit more work, yet worthwhile. I've added it to the list for myhush.network

I've been mining hush for a while now (probably 2 months-ish), both at hushpool.cloud and at madmining.club, and I've noticed my payouts are consistently around 25 or 30% less than what I'm seeing on whattomine.com.

I have about 1k Sol/s, and according to whattomine I should be getting 2.2/day and instead I got 1.7. When the difficulty was lower and I was supposed to be getting 3.5 or 4, I was getting 2.5 to 3, etc.

When I was mining on hushpool.cloud I would look at the stats and the pool luck was always at -30% over the previous 4 days (or 7 or whatever the number it was using for the average)

At madmining I don't see the actual luck, just the calculated luck (what it should be getting) but I assume it is also getting bad luck.

What gives? Is this what you would expect to see happening if someone was doing a 51% attack? I understand bad luck can happen for any given day or even a period of days on a fluke, but consistently over this long a time frame? Seems like something is up.

What to mine is a point in time estimate based off a moving average I believe. Hush having a small network hashrate can have large swings in difficulty throughout the day. A large miner or private pool points to hush and say has 1MSol/s (roughly 25-50% network hashrate) for 20 or so blocks then moves to another algo while we are left having to deal with a high difficulty for a few hours.

This can skew earning a lot... This happens to other coins but if you look at zcash 350MSol/s 1MSol/s miner will not make a huge impact on the network like it will to hush with 3.hMsol/s

So, while yes whattomine cannot give a good estimate you should be close when you look at 7+ days

A good gauge is to look at shares per block, with our current hashrate I would expect most to be under 100k shares https://madmining.club/blocks you can see we had 3 well over that. This is a combination of luck and swings in difficulty (which you can see here http://myhush.network/stats.html )

Thanks for the response. That could explain what's happening, but is there any way to tell? That link you provided only shows a blank page for me, with tabs at the top.

But if you or someone has a server with all the stats (total diff, hash rate per pool, and blocks found) over a period of a few weeks or a month or whatever, you should be able to check exactly the actual vs expected luck for each pool right? I'm not sure how trivial that would be but I assume there must be tools that could parse and analyze that data for the relevant stats.

Try disabling add blocker, I've also had some people say they couldn't view the site on mobile... I'm looking into it.

As far as pool stats, we could once we are aware off all the pools/ all pools modify their stratum code to include a unique hex value when mining a block.  Not all pools do this, and some private pools intentionally do not

Can anyone chime in on why coinmarketcap decided to get the supply correct now? This happened with another coin recently and I don't understand where they are getting their data from.

We have been reaching out to them to correct the total supply, looks like they finally decided to manually update it. I'm reaching out again now to find a way to programmatically keep it up to date

DNR ended up making a supply api for cmc to query for their feed. Took a while for them to get it going, but much better than adding nearly 1mil Hush to the supply randomly one day.

To those wondering why this matters, some are judging a coins worth on marketcap. Whattomine pulls their supply number from coinmarketcap.

Working on an api, older versions of insight had this, but it was removed since it was slow... Should have it in the next week or so

Just a straight copy of Bitcoin ? So nothing to see here ? Quite popular for something so basic. So little info and no graphics.

Well it's a copy of Bitcoin but based on Equihash algo LOL. This dev's behavior reminds me of the same way Signatum Classic wannabe acted, no wallets, no website, buggy code.

Actually looking at the source, it is a fork of zclassic with no changes besides the name

Granted, zcash is a fork of bitcoin, and zclassic is a fork of zcash, so technically it's kinda a... well idk
