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

What Drives the Value/Price of Hush?

Miners

Firstly there are ASIC miners, which will not sell HUSH for anything less than their cost to mine it. HUSH is compatible with the same miners as ZEC, ZEN, KMD, ARRR and a few other coins, so very large farms have the potential to switch to the Hush network. Autoswitching software does this automatically for large miners.

Miners also have capital costs, the cost of the mining equipment. When they buy new equipment, they are more likely to sell and less likely to HODL, until they break even.

Zcash Shielded Supply is less than 0.5%

This command shows a transparent supply of 8.7M ZEC:

./zcash-cli gettxoutsetinfo
{
  "height": 830867,
  "bestblock": "0000000002b0ef5add3356f537eb4f6ef0c6d32f7ac0928d7c3e84f326fb8be7",
 "transactions": 1045827,
