ADVISORY: nodes enforcing BIP-110 begin rejecting non-signaling blocks in ~2 days. A chain split is possible, which carries real risks for all sides. For Lightning operators, certain protections exist only before a split. We recommend acting now.

Due to a bug in StartOS 0.3.5.1, services with the same package ID cannot be listed on the same Registry. Core is currently listed on the Start9 Registry. Knots is currently listed on the Community Registry. So Knots BIP 110 has no registry and therefore must be side loaded. This issue is fixed in StartOS 0.4.0, when all three implementations of Bitcoin will be listed on the Start9 Registry. Switching between them will be clear and easy.

🎉 Fulcrum 2.0 is now availbale for StartOS! Initial sync time on Server One or Server Pure is ~36 hours. Performance after that is insane! Enjoy everyone ❤️ Source code:

4. In StartOS, navigate to System -> Sideload a Service 5. Upload bitcoind.s9pk WHY DOWNLOAD INSTEAD OF MARKETPLACE? Knots and Core share the same ID. This allows dependent services, such as lightning, to use either one. It also allows people to switch between them without needing to resync the blockchain. Due to a bug in StartOS 0.3.5.1, if either service goes up in version, it will show as an "update" for the other service. This sucks and has caused people to think StartOS is trying to trick them into switching. To minimize confusion and mistakes, we release new versions of Knots and Core in parallel and require explicit action for switching. Not ideal, but a decent stop gap until StartOS 0.4.0. Because there is no Knots v30.0, listing Core 30.0 on the marketplace would result in Knots users forever seeing Core v30.0 as a "update". As such, we are making Core v30.0 available as a download/sideload instead of listing it on the marketplace.

⚠ BITCOIN 29.2 PSA, PLEASE READ ⚠ 1. Knots 29.2 AND Core 29.2 are now available on the marketplace 🎉 2. Knots and Core will BOTH display as having an update available. Don't worry, we are not trying to trick you into switching. If you have Knots installed, updating to Core will fail. If you have Core installed, updating to Knots will fail. To switch from Core 29.2 to Knots 29.2, or the other way around, follow these instructions: https://community.start9.com/t/installing-bitcoin-knots/1997/5. 3. Before updating, it is best to stop Bitcoin. Otherwise, it might get stuck in a "Stopping" state. If this happens, the fix is to restart your server. System -> Restart. 4. After updating, Bitcoin will temporarily enter a "Needs Config" state. It does not need config. Just wait, it will go away in a few seconds.
