Bitcoin Halving Calculations

Bitcoin Halving Is Not Every Four Years!

It's close, but not exactly! Let's discover why.

Bitcoin has a block time of 600 seconds (10 minutes).

Hush 3.5.0 testing

Hush 3.5.0 Testing

Most important things to test on Hush dev branch:

  • z2z, can be tested with -z2zheight param
  • Block time changing from 150s to 75s

Both of the above will happen at Block 340K on mainnet, but we can test things out by making a chain fork with the above CLI option.

Privacy Coin notes

Summary

TLDR: ECC profits directly from their own users lack of privacy.

  • The company behind Zcash, Electric Coin Company, works directly with Law Enforcement and blockchain analysis companies, whose largest customers are Law Enforcement Organizations (LEOs).
  • This is the Military-Industrial-Surveillance complex, where ECC directly profits from their users lack of privacy
  • The Hush community finds this to be an egregious conflict-of-interest
  • What follows are important summaries and quotes from this video:

Hush Sapling Consolidation Changes

Hush Sapling Consolidation

This will describe how Hush Sapling consolidation is different from the original implementation by CryptoForge of ZER.

  • fee=0 is not used unconditionally, it's only used when it's required, such as consolidating zutxos less than 1 txfee
    • Hush uses the heuristic "if the zutxo is less than 1 default txfee, use fee=0" very strategically, because it makes all zutxos under 1 tx fee look similar.
    • If instead we did "use a fee just small enough", that would leak more metadata
    • After extensive research into all the options, the above seems to leak the least metadata on the chain as a whole
  • It does leak metadata in that you can identify fee=0 transactions as being likely to be "dust" being consolidated
