seems data adjusted the % which is better then block count

What is Bitcoin Knots?

Bitcoin, but without JPEGs of your cat

In my configuration, the SSD also gets quite full. But according to my calculations, it should fit. If everything runs smoothly on Knots, I'll remove Core to free up some space.

Can I run it on my start9?

Yes, same here. Ben is struggling with this right now FYI:

Yes, Ben is doing that on X right now:

The further it gets, the slower it goes. That’s taproot for you 😂

I don’t use X, but Ben should be making a video with that soon.

Relax and look at this gif I made

How to migrate from Core to Knots on Umbrel.

But yeah....

Yes

Also, this gives a good summary of what's going on right now: nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzpprrqa5g5z0vzy5k06c9gnnc485gcj84qufv88k5j8ljkmaqrxhgqy8hwumn8ghj7mn2w4khqtndv5hszythwden5te0dehhxarj9ekxzmny9uqzqvjuuget8yrmhphpp2y9lcj6dd8gfeqd7eh9cfmc5exzh6njlawva7tza6

because he's using node in a box solutions which aren't made for you to be in control of your software. switching to knots is simply replacing the qt (executable) file. start9 and umbrel are the same garbage as Core. stop trusting 3rd party services!

Call me crazy, but I'm still going to do it using this link. (I want to beat you, lol) ... Wish me luck!

You built your own car and house and school and clothes and developed your own language and built your own country and invented your own type of air? I'm impressed 😂 Seriously tho, if your a builder, you'll build your own house, if your an electronics guy, you'll build your own laptop. If your a software guy you'll develop your own code. If your were a second rate Unix admin in the 1990's you prefer to have a box solution to a self configured solution because you were too busy building the Internet the world is using today.

I'm not racing you, I'm taking it easy. Let me know how you get on tho.

Done!!! Lightning node and mempool runs fine on Knots!!!! Hell Yeah

In the logs of lightning it is still syncing but this is normal.

Congrats my friend 🏆

Yes. Zaps zaps can be received again if I am correct... ?

Just right click the other apps and select settings then choose Knots.

Yes, that’s right View quoted note →

Bitcoin exists to remove trust of 3rd parties, if you so choose. We all know the value of being able to transact without relying on a trusted 3rd party by now. This value extends to the code you run for your node. Bitcoin core became the most popular node client software because they made it easy. Now, as recent events show, that trust comes with cost. Users running core are treated like idiots that can't manage their own config. Core devs are influenced by monied interests and gatekeeping PR discussions. Antithetical to Bitcoin as free open source software. Node in a box solutions also introduce trust, whereas users can lose control of their software and self sovereignty. Most don't let you learn how to change or update your node software. Pushed updates are a massive security flaw. Backdoor risks are a huge problem. The company can go out of business, leaving users with a paperweight. They introduce complexity in Bitcoin which is designed to run on just about any potato computer in the first place. Users can even run a pruned node if storage space is an issue. If at any point you need a 3rd party to transact or verify, you defeat the purpose of using Bitcoin in the first place.

I wasn't looking for a lesson, I was looking to move beyond this, but thanks for re-iterating for others.

At this time, the people need a reminder that there will always be attacks against Bitcoin

Agreed

Also detected by bitnodes.io as Knots Client 🎉

Thank you.

This just saved me... So much time 🫡

Yes, if you know you want to run Knots exclusively. This is the way 🫡

I'd been running a pruned version of Knots for a while now, I figured now was the time to just uninstall, reinstall and use this trick to swap to a full archival on Knots. I can always spin Core back up and keep that one pruned if I want to later... Or do as I intent to eventually, spin up a full second node at work.

I’m downloading a pruned version on knots on one of my test nodes. Good idea to swap it out for the core DB if I switch. Thanks for the tip 🫡
