In light of the recent events, it’s good to remind you that Bitcoin Knots is available on:

- Umbrel

- start9

- APT (debian & ubuntu)

- mynode

- brew (macOS)

- Docker

- Bare (Linux, macOS, Windows)

- NixOS

Soon:

- raspiblitz (next release)

- unraid OS

Don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you need help switching to Knots!

Thank you Léo for your work! My node is running on Knots for nearly a year by now!

NixOS? Can you share a link?

Here is the distro: https://nixos.org

I don’t recommend using it if your are not technical it’s a bit like GUIX and it’s hard to use.

The Knots package is here: https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=24.11&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&type=packages&query=bitcoind-knots

Yeah I know NixOS, but didn't know (or check) that there is already a maintained Knots package ...

May have just implement it from scratch myself , for a fork of nix-bitcoin with optional Knots 😭

Well, that makes life much easier though 😉

If you need help switching from Core to Knots, hit up Leo. A handful of people are trying to hijack the default implementation, and running an alternative client is one of the few ways left to resist their push to turn Bitcoin into an unrecognizable dumpster fire, no different from any other shitcoin.

If you want to switch from Core to Knots on an Umbrel, follow this guide made by Léo and give him a zap! ⚡️

What's the command for installing via apt?
