It says Knots keeps crashing on Start9 hardware b/c it doesn't have this feature that Core already has.
It's more evidence that I am a test subject for them to dust off some abandoned 10 year old bitcoin side-project. I know the people who work on the real bitcoin core, I want to see their changes. They are not interchangeable.
I'm a fan of the hardware, and I'm a fan of the software, and I think wireguard tunneling is cool!
But I'm not a fan of the politics.

in the beta?
like for the last 6mo I have been waiting for the Start9 guys to make peace w/ Core and add any core release v30+ to the app store. I have tried several of the recent betas, I haven't tried this one yet though, but if they didnt make a point about it in the release notes my hopes are nil.
I hear rumors of potentially supporting some future core release again but nothing official, these guys don't believe Bitcoin is bitcoin anymore. I haven't had time to figure out how to hack it in but i definitely don't believe I should have to.
Why does knots show up in the app store as if it was the only official bitcoin now?
I didn't pay for a high quality node infrastructure just for someone else to decide what software to run for me!
Number 1 takeaway: This book finally connected the dots between the economic philosophy and the technical.
- Hayek is emphasized right from page 1 and is reintroduced several times throughout the story as the technology slowly progresses towards the realization of his concept of a Denationalized Money system.
- This book will show you how various groups of futurists, hackers, and scientists worked together to try to fulfill Hayek's dream of a decentralized economy, referred to as a 'spontaneous order'.
Before reading this book it always puzzled me how the cipher punks even got the idea to make money external to a government or bank.. Where does that idea even come from... I have read all of the papers referenced in the whitepaper and the original idea for this kind of money system is much older than any of those fields of research. This book has that answer, it's Hayek.
Banks are are feeling threatened domestically and internationally:
- BRICS nations are mobilizing against USD
- Institutional money is flooding into bitcoin investment vehicles domestically
Meanwhile inflation continues despite all efforts to suppress it.
Centralized exchanges are pretty locked down already with KYC/AML regulations
Public mining companies are the other big source of capital out flow. Being public makes it easy to raise capital and grow the operation. This happens in the US because we have a very stable government relatively speaking. This situation will persist until it no longer works because going underground is more risky at scale. But, I believe, inevitable as the threat to the establishment becomes more acute.
Yeah, I misspoke earlier—I wasn’t actually running the alphas, just reading release notes.
That said, the issue I’m running into is separate: the installed “Bitcoin Core” service appears to actually be Knots, and there’s no clear indication of that without inspecting it directly.
That’s pretty misleading, especially if you’re trying to work with features tied to specific Core versions (e.g. SV2 mining IPC interface).
Even after adding the alpha registry, I’m still not seeing an obvious way to install the actual Core 30 build—what am I missing?
