Exactly

Will you add knots to the start9 repository (instead of community)?

It could be a good solution nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzqej7xe8nug4h8v3j48esuddpf87gjdvsz5y0ytyc2vwpf5trzzheqyghwumn8ghj7vf5xqhxvdm69e5k7tcpzpmhxue69uhkztnwdaejumr0dshsqgrxa5tg9swms3lw6edje7tc4uq63j2ftaacx6nwfs7zgscuvp4mtchajx8e

If there is anyone NOT pushing mining centralization, it's @Luke Dashjr and the others at @OCEAN, who don't even require individual miners to use their block templates. I can run Knots with whatever datacarrier limit I want and mine on OCEAN, generating my own block templates. Yeah, I am a nobody home miner, but large scale miners can do exactly the same.

think you'll ever add Libre relay to start 9? not sure id use it, just curious

Weennnnnnn next version? 😅

If I want to run a bitaxe and receive the few satoshis earned (not lotto mine), am I required to use knots? If so, this feels like coercion. I hope there will be another solution. I wish to continue using bitcoin core. Over time I have come to appreciate the judgment of multiple bitcoin core devs. I trust that judgement for what is best for bitcoin's success (to remain secure and decentralized) way more then I do that of the two primary proponents of knots.

I'm glad you have the option to run whatever node software you prefer. But I'm not talking about intentions, I'm talking about consequences:

I would

Anyone can package anything for StartOS. It's not up to us

You can use Public Pool. Also Datum will work with Core once the Core package on StartOS is updated to suport blocknotify.

True story. thx for the reply

Thank you! 🙏 This is good news! I will continue waiting to setup my bitaxe to mine with datum & ocean on startos until possible with core. Choice is good ❤
