This can help you guys understand what's going on.

Check discord

I have just checked their twitter, and  even telegram news but there is no update since few days :O
I wonder what is the reason of today stunning price rise ? :O

That's gonna be literally the next Zclassic. Same news, better technology. Conservative prediction: 10x from here basing on ZCL price. I'm glad that I bought some a week ago.

Some interesting news here: https://twitter.com/dukeleto/status/949766583831822336
Hush price took off...

Announcement 6 January, 2018

Critical updates:

• We recently learned of the Swing GUI "watchonly" Bug (see our last announcement for details). We'd like to add that if you use BarterDEX, it does create watchonly addresses. If you then use the SWING wallet, BE CAREFUL! It will show you watchonly addresses but those addresses are not owned by you directly in your Hush wallet but rather in BarterDEX. Funds sent to those addresses can be accessed in BarterDEX only. Not in Hush.

Development Updates:

• We have updated our website, myhush.org. It is powered by our github repository. As everything in the cryptocurrency world goes, things move fast and furiously. Expect to see a slew of new bounties soon!
• HUSH is included in yesterday's ElectrumX 1.2.1 release. This introduces the ability for wallets to avoid downloading all transaction history.
• The wallet module of HushNG is nearing completion and will replace the GUI wallet as an OFFICIALLY SUPPORTED wallet by the Hush Core Team.
• Our web wallet is back online. https://wallet.myhush.org/
• Bitcore+TLS+1.0.13 is available here: https://github.com/MyHush/hush/tree/v1.0.13-bitcoreTLS

Community Outreach: Hush is an open-source, community-driven project. If you're interested in getting involved, let us know. We have a number of entry points to join the hush team. We're especially interested in talking with you (https://discord.io/hush) if you have any of the following skills or experience:

• web design
• bitcore
• node.js
• electron
• ipfs
• i2p
• accounting
• community managing
• zkSNARKs

Thanks for the reply. I found a few posts about this on the discord afterwards and it seems I was under the wrong impression anyway.
I thought perhaps XCP and the other tokens would be moving to the Hush chain, but it seems that is not necessarily true. The protocols would be implemented but the tokens would remain on the BTC chain unless the curators of any particular one actively decided to switch, correct?

Counterparty is still on our roadmap in terms of how we would like to evolve the Hush project. With that said, so are many many more items (some of which are more pressing like HushNG and HushList).

This coin looks very promising, glad I'm in 

Was Counterparty supposed to get ported to Hush? Or am I drunk and thinking of another coin?

Critical announce: Swing GUI "watchonly" Bug

The HUSH team has learned of an upstream ZEC change which has caused a bug in the Swing wallet GUI. The "Own Addresses" tab shows the addresses a user owns and the addresses a user is watching. Watched addresses can be owned by someone else. This means it is possible to send a transaction to an address you don't own.

List of affected SWING wallets: Hush, ZenCash, Zero, ZCash, ZClassic

Workaround: The Hush team is not responsible for Swing software fixes. It would seem prudent that users create a new address so ownership is known absolutely rather than using a previously existing address that you aren't positive about.

Please direct inquires to:
https://github.com/vaklinov?tab=repositories
https://github.com/vaklinov/hush-swing-wallet-ui

You can simply go here:

https://wallet.myhush.org/

Click on settings button (shown right next to "Hush Wallet" text), and select "Paste private key". Then simply put your private key there and have your wallet unlocked. You can then view your balance or send hush through it.

Exciting stages coming for hush soon.

As required to prove - the development is in full swing. And this news had a positive effect on the cost of HUSH. Even despite the rather high price of bitcoin.
And really workable Z-address will bring to a new level of anonymity.

Thank you for the very detailed and informative update. It's always nice to have things laid out in an easy to understand manner.

You still need to use a wallet. Download it and add this to hush.conf: addnode=hushipv4.matthewreichardt.com

I have the hush address and the private key, but I deleted the wallet because it did not synchronize. Just with this how can I do to send hush to cryptopia?

Not to mention all the possibilities of FINALLY being able to use Z-ADDRs in a lite wallet

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

Great! This is the kind of updates that we all are looking forward into reading!

A Busy Month

December has been an extremely busy month for HUSH.

We’ve published the white paper on HushList (https://github.com/leto/hushlist/blob/master/whitepaper/protocol.pdf), authored by David Mercer (radix42) and Duke Leto. It details the technical specifications for our zk-snarks communications layer and is portable to other ZEC forks.

Development on HushNG (lead by Matt Reichardt) remains an active project. This platform will serve as messenger, wallet, and miner platform all-in-one.

We've added fresh talent to our already well-established core team. We’ve removed the ‘Lead’ designation to allow more contributors to participate simultaneously. Progress has invigorated new initiatives in marketing, design, community, and core development.


Infrastructure updates

Madbuda is extending hushd compatibility with Bitcore. This allows HUSH to be used with services like BitPay, Copay, Streamium. The insight-api will provide a simple gateway for companies to accept HUSH as payment. One thing this extension will allow is a website chat box to use the HUSH blockchain via the HUSH Explorer API. We are working towards porting this functionality to other forks down the road.

We migrated myhush.org to CloudFlare for DDoS protection and will be releasing the redesign very soon. The new design will include our updated road map, the recently released Hushlist whitepaper, and discuss our inclusion on the BarterDex exchange and the Agama wallet.


HushNG and HushList

HUSH Next-Generation is our all-in-one platform that includes the Private Messenger, Wallet, GUI Miner, and Asset Issuance. HushNG is a high-speed messaging, transaction and asset platform for the blockchain.

Hushlist is a program which allows encrypted mailing-list style communications via Hush transactions. It takes advantage of zk-snarks, allowing you to send messages anonymously.



Core Team

Our established core dev team includes Duke Leto, Larry Ludlow and Matthew Reichardt.

David Mercer (radix42) is now contributing upstream of the core development team, working hard to improve Zcash GUI wallets which will be merged into Hush core when complete. David remains a wealth of knowledge to the project as his work on Zcash and other projects informs and guides Hush development. A heartfelt thanks from the Hush community for in getting Hush to where it is.

Kent Sommers has opted to remain a contributor of HUSH, albeit from outside the core title. His work on TLS, deterministic builds, and Zcash upstream integrations is invaluable to the project.

Iolar (Demartini) helps with our website.

TheTrunk is a new team member and is working with Infrastructure and Community. He created the original web wallet, managed some bitcore ports, and is working on a new explorer.

Luge is the website designer, working on HushNG, as well as various network and wallet properties.

Axel 'SparkIt' Karlsson continues to help us interact with our community.

clamoring (https://www.linkedin.com/in/tamsin-thorn-a5178383/) is another new team member and is heading up the technical writing for Hush. She has enterprise-level experience in encryption and network engineering as well as a healthy interest in cryptocurrency. Her experience translating dev jargon to management-speak allows her to explain very technical content to non-technical audiences.



Moving Forward

Our development is more active than ever and community interaction remains a top priority. The next few weeks we are concentrating on closing out some development tasks, re-launching myhush.org, and releasing v.1.0.13 (which will include: deterministic builds, secure nodes and updated default peers).

We are thoughtfully moving forward with applications to a number of high-profile exchanges. Our most recent application is with Binance Community Coin of the Month.

To stay caught up with the HUSH Team, please visit our new Community Dashboard (http://dashboard.myhush.org/), our Discord Channel (https://discordapp.com/invite/7bB78U4), or follow @myhushteam or @dukeleto on Twitter.

Thank you for your support as we steer HUSH through these exciting times!
