So, I had a message on my Start9 that Bitcoin Knots had an update. I never had Knots installed. I went to update Core and accidentally hit knots and it replaced Bitcoin Core with itself.

Now I have to wait for the ENTIRE blockchain to be re-downloaded again so all of my Lightning stuff, electrs, mempool etc. doesn't work until i'm synced back to chain tip. About 10 hours from now if I'm lucky.

Sometimes I really don't like Luke Dashjr.

Ugh… sorry to hear

Is this why i can’t zap yer ass? 🫂

Yup

That sucks! Something about measure twice cut once the old guys used to say🤔

Uh thanks for the mention. I just started downloading Core. At 5% rn. I'm just gonna stop and use knots. DATE requires it and there's no other option 🤷🏻‍♀️

Is this a start9 / recipe issue or a knots issue?

Turns out Knots and Core have an identical ID. Start9 says it’s a known and unfortunate issue and they are trying to rectify it.

There we go. Probably just a copy pasta error.

Oh snap!! That’s basically a data kill switch 😵 did you open an issue on GitHub or post about it in the forum?

Yeah. Got help from their telegram group. Still have to resync from genesis block. 27% done rn.

?

Replacing Core with Knots or the reverse won't kill your blockchain data...
