not true. you can run knots as well. you can even switch from core to knots without a full resync. here’s a video from mayank showing how to do it.

👉 If you’re using Umbrel ☂️, don’t forget to update Electrs, Lightning Node, etc. to use Bitcoin Knots instead of Bitcoin Core.

nah. Using Start9

So that basically creates a second copy of the chain? Caveat being you would need enough storage for both if I’m understanding.

nope, it points knots to the already-downloaded data... 🤙

OK so in the video he’s moving the data from Core folder to Knots, not copying? So to go back to Core you’d presumably move it back.

Very interesting. These are very useful videos for those who are still beginners

Did this myself today.

worked like a charm (once I finally upgraded umbrelOS from 0.5.4 to 1.4.1)
