I don't read that as they picked a side, they have both options available?
Discussion
they are making one the preferred option (knots)
Yes and as we know, preferred options are sticky, so it’s best to just remove the option during the next update.
that's not how i read that ... they have a community registry (where knots is now) and a primary registry (start 9 maintains the primary etc...)
so they would be showing both in the start 9 registry, right now only core shows up... source, my node
this is what it looks like now, you have to change your marketplace to get knots, so this move is to put them on equal footing
"still to be determined moving core gets moved to the community registry"
seems like they are pro knots and anti core for even suggesting that
if they do then i think comments are fair but all they've agreed to do is put them in the same registry for user to choose installation, i don't see that as a preferred option
Right now the way they have it could be read “pro BC” plus as is it’s wonky to use Knots; you have to activate Dev mode by clicking a word five times. Now that you have 13% of the network using it, it makes sense to update the presentation.
Seems you are suggesting they shouldn’t be allowed to have an opinion
I believe that the reason they are in different registries is because the current version of StartOS can’t tell the difference between Core and Knots. In the soon to be released next version that won’t be an issue. They’re probably talking about considering switching their places in the mean time.
And if they decide to make Knots the default and take away your choice…
Go run Umbrel.
And before was making the preferred option (Bitcoin Core)
Ohh the irony…
