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!
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.
Maybe you tried several of the recent alphas?
If you didn't see core 30 in the marketplace, it's because you didn't add the alpha registry (In which case it seems you didn't really try the alpha, since you didn't install any services?)
If you actually try a the latest (or any) beta, you will see everything, including the latest core release.
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?
I'm not sure what you mean. What is saying Core is actually Knots?
What ISO are you using? Use this and you won't have to be adding any alpha registry:
https://github.com/Start9Labs/start-os/releases/latest
So in the 'Marketplace' Registry there is only a 'Bitcoin Core' app. When i have that registry enabled I see that the Bitcoin Core app is installed (version 29.3). When I switch to the 'Community' Registry there is only a "Knots" app, no Bitcoin Core, which is also listed as installed. In each case the version is listed as v29.3.0, which was the latest version of Knots...
This is why I thought it was actually Knots running instead of Core but I ran some RPC commands and traced through the Knots code a little and I THINK its actually core running and not Knots.
The version info comes back as:
/Satoshi:29.3.0/Knots source also says Satoshi but also includes more stuff so it should look something like:
/Satoshi:29.3.0/Knots:20260210/, from what I can tell reading the code at least.Is it a bad interface in v0.3.5? Yes, for sure. Knots was shoehorned in to an OS that isn't receiving any more updates, and the result is that you can switch between Core and Knots without having to resync the entire chain, but the interface, especially wrt updates, is more confusing.
The fix, which you can try now, even though it seems like you'd rather just bitch about v0351 in a thread about v040, is to upgrade to v040:
https://docs.start9.com/start-os/0.4.0.x/update-040.html
I found about the beta through this thread.
Core is mentioned for 0.4.0: https://github.com/Start9Labs/bitcoin-core-startos/issues/185#issuecomment-4173662898
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.
I haven't looked at the beta yet, but I do know that Matt Hill has recently made no secret about where he stands on the core/knots debate. He likes knots. If I'm not mistaken, in the current OS knots can only be accessed through the community registry.
This sounds fantastic. I will not even attempt to upgrade for a few months. I'll let the smart/brave ones try first.
Me as well but my start9 has been stable over the last month
Mine too. In fact, this is the longest period I recall not needing to restart.
Spotted at the end of the release notes: SMTP notifications.
I feel this is severally underrated feature for self hosting setups.
AlbyHub has nice mail based notifications, but they come directly from AlbyHub servers.
So you could run your own email?
Whoa, thats awesome.
