Bitcoin Knots is slowly moving up the list.

Running #Knots.

On Start9 all you have to do to switch from #BitcoinCore to #Knots is install Knots from the community registry. You won’t need to resync the entire blockchain if you run an archival node.

***When I switched I did have to enable “dev mode”. StartOS sees both apps as the same so it won’t let you install Knots if the version number is the same as Core. ***

#Bitcoin #Knots nodes increased 0.39% in 24 hours. We need to get those numbers up. Take the power away from #BitcoinCore.

Estimates on the number of millionaires in the United States vary depending on the source and methodology, but recent data suggests there are between 21.95 million and 30 million millionaires, defined as individuals or households with a net worth of at least $1 million USD. #Bitcoin

Solo Mining #Bitcoin to my own node. I’m now motivated to add solar to my house. I’m surprised at how easy this was. After watching some videos from nostr:nprofile1qqspnzgrfett3asxcuj0gksje6z2zxzpvgd27uvz58m9vsuqh8zzw6cpr9mhxw309a382emdv9hzumt8w4ujumn9wsargwp58qq3jamnwvaz7tmswfjk66t4d5h8qunfd4skctnwv46z7znnzje There were a few things that were a little different from the videos but with a little searching I found solutions. I’ve spent an hour or 2 each evening setting it up over the last 4 days. The setup was about $1000 for everything.

It took a few hours to get Start9 on the mini pc and confirmed with my router. Took right at 18 hours to sync the full block chain.

I opened a Coinbase account in 2018 but didn’t use it for anything. Over the years I’ve logged in occasionally and completed the learning rewards and immediately converted the shitcoins to #bitcoin. It has stacked up quite nicely. Today I dipped into that free money to order a server to host a bitcoin and #lightning #node and probably a nostr #relay. I’ll be using #Start9. Once it’s set up I’ll add some #bitaxe miners. Shout out to nostr:nprofile1qqspnzgrfett3asxcuj0gksje6z2zxzpvgd27uvz58m9vsuqh8zzw6cpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3kamnwvaz7tmxv4jkguewdehhxarj9e3xzmny9a6x7mnewm9hxj for making it look easy. After watching a few of his videos I used Grok to help pick out the hardware. I’ll keep posting updates as I progress.
