β PSA, PLEASE READ ALL β
1. Bitcoin Knots 29.1 AND Bitcoin Core 29.1 are now available on the marketplace π
2. Due to a bug in StartOS 0.3.5.1, we recommend stopping Bitcoin before updating. Otherwise, Bitcoin might get stuck in a "stopping" state. If this happens, the fix is to restart the server.
3. Due to another bug in StartOS 0.3.5.1, after updating Bitcoin, it will temporarily enter a "Needs Config" state. It does not need config. Just wait, it will go away in a few seconds.
4. Due to a bug in StartOS 0.3.5.1, Knots and Core will BOTH display as having an update available in the "Updates" tab. Don't worry, we are not trying to trick you into switching implementations. If you currently have Knots installed, updating to Core will fail. If you currently have Core installed, updating to Knots will fail.
5. To switch from Knots to Core, or from Core to Knots, follow these instructions: https://community.start9.com/t/installing-bitcoin-knots/1997/5

As a new customer Iβm very happy with the smooth startup! Can you share some knots stats?

Good to know! Datum setup has been a pain in the ass too, particularly with blocknotify. Keep up the good work though!

I was referring to their sales/downloads, to verify that data. We jumped from 19% to almost 25% and obviously I want to believe they are legit, and would be great if nostr:nprofile1qqs9df4h2deu3aae83fmet5xmrlm4w5l9gdnsy3q2n7dklem7ezmwfcpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtcpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7f4nlzp could help verify.
Matt Hill: "[In that period] Start9 sold 1,004 servers and observed an ~2,000 new DIY instances.
Bitcoin Core was downloaded 2,201 times. Bitcoin Knots was downloaded 3,202 times. Download figures represent the aggregate of testing, upgrading, switching, and fresh installs.
Based on these figures, we think it is safe to assume that StartOS added 1,500 - 2,000 new nodes to the Bitcoin network from June 1 - Sep 8, with a ~1,000 node swing in favor of Knots. This is further supported by the overwhelming feedback from users expressing interest in running Knots.
So StartOS ALONE largely accounts for the chart above, and that's without taking, Parmanode, Umbrel, MyNode, and random Linux distros into account."
I determined DATUM ( maybe)was making my server go nuts. Seems to cause really acute spikes in resources and server would go to 85 or 90 celsius. Although niw i switched to public pool and similar behavior happens as well, so perhaps that is the case when trying to self host mining π€·ββοΈ
I switched to the public pool start9 service instead of datum*
Why did you change the icon of core?
Not having those issues on my brand new StartOS yet, unlike my old Umbrel, but I upgraded my RAM to 32 GB so it runs smoothly.
24% is pretty wild
Knots as been pamping their sales and I'm so here for it
Core generally uses the black and white icon in their branding, trying to respect that
Wild indeed.
Can you update it to their new icon? It's a dickbutt.
Is this only available on Start9? I run StartOS and I don't see the update.
Oop just needed to restart to see the update
Mine is 32 gb start9 server too..pretty new π
Great job guys, you are amazing, I canΒ΄t thank ypu enough to keep the network of nodes healthy and raising.
Thank you!
This is perfect timing as my new Mini PC has arrived today. Besides running a Bitcoin node what other things are all of you running using StartOS?

Where did you pull the icon from though? the colors are inverted.
There is no distinction. All our servers run StartOS. If you're not seeing the update it's either because you are on an outdated version of StartOS, or because you need to refresh the page.
Since StartOS is dark-themed, we inverted the colors for cleaner visibility. Seemed like an appropriate move, at least more accurate than the orange Bitcoin B
amazing startos, tks π‘οΈ KBTC Knots Bind The Chain ππ»
