while the practical part of me knows dripping sats into my lightning node is probably smarter, there is a part of me that wants the immortal glory of mining a block with my own node, own miners and stamping it with my own tags. its hard to ignore šŸ˜Ž

Nice! āš”ļøšŸŒŠ I’m running a pair of S9s as heaters and plan to switch from Braiins over to nostr:npub1qtvl2em0llpnnllffhat8zltugwwz97x79gfmxfz4qk52n6zpk3qq87dze as well. I installed DATUM on my nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll, and I’m getting ready to switch from Core over to Knots. Do you know if there is any downside to Knots vs Core when it comes to using it with other services/programs like electrs, LND, Mempool, or Sparrow? I may need to just ask nostr:npub1wnlu28xrq9gv77dkevck6ws4euej4v568rlvn66gf2c428tdrptqq3n3wr.

Been running Knots with DATUM, Alby Hub, LND, CLN, Electrs, and other services without issue for a few months now.

Thanks. I’ll reprioritize some time to make the conversion. And I totally forgot to even include Alby Hub in my services list. Glad to hear they’re all running flawlessly for you. šŸ¤™

Should be pretty quick. Backup your Start9 > install Knots > profit.

Knots won't need to redownload the chain or anything. It will just replace Core when you install it.

Sweet. Do you know if sometime in the future I want to switch back to Core for any reason, is that an easy swap back, or will it take a complete redownload of the entire chain?

That I don't know, but my instinct is that it would be just as simple.

Cool; thanks!

i havent had no issues with wallets / services since changing to knots

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll prioritize doing the conversion and I’ll make sure to backup all my bitcoin services first, just in case.

Just as likely to get the secondary tag still while getting payouts trickle in from Ocean. I'd just do that. Still looks badass on the timechain.

i know, but the greeeeed šŸ˜‚
