HUSH Wallet UI – Waiting for Daemon to Start

HUSH Wallet Continually Fails to Start

Updating the wallet to the latest version 0.72 causes an error where the daemon continually fails to start and you can wait or close the wallet.  To fix the error on Windows 10, perform the following:

Open up your Windows Explorer and navigate to the root of C:\

In the Search Box, type hushd.exe and hit Enter

When the file is found, right click on it and select Open Folder Location

Select the full path in the bar at the top and copy it.  It will be something like C:\Program Files\hush\etc…..

Now open a command prompt

Type cd C:\Program Files\hush\etc….. (here you will put your actual path in instead of mine C:\Program Files\hush\etc…..)

Once you are there type in the following:

start hushd.exe -daemon -reindex

Now leave the black boxes open, and Open your HUSH Wallet.

You should see the blockchain begin to download all over again.  This will allow you to get access to the wallet, once everything is synchronized

MinexBank Coin Parking Renewal Process

How to Re-Park Your Minex Coins

Once you have your wallet setup to park, the renewal is pretty easy and quick.  The guide below walks you through the process

Go to

Login using your wallet address and your previously setup minexbank password

Calculate the best return rate over the course of 1 year, and park the coins for that long, even though you are not going to park them for 1 year.  For example the Weekly percentage is 1% (1% x 52 Weeks = 52% Return) and the Quarterly return is 27% (27% x 4 Quarters = 108% Return)

Select the amount of time you want the coins parked (ex: Quarterly)

Click Park All button

Click Create, and the coins are parked

Now take a look under the Active Parkings section of the web page, you will see the time left (89 days and whatever hours). Put a reminder in your calendar for when the parking return is paid, so 90 days from now, and then park the coins again.

Follow this process over and over for the greatest return.
