I have read the threads about Bitcoin Knots. I never remember installing this service. I have had my Server Pure for about a year now with zero problems until now.
Can I just uninstall this program? Will it delete the enitre BTC blockchain? I don’t even see BTC Core installed anymore. Essentially, since this KNots program appeared, My server pure is useless. I read the threads and went to develper mode and followed those instructions. Knots finially installed and all dependent services began to work again. Now I’m back to this starting loop again.
At this point I just want it gone. Sounds like its a cool addition but since it has appeared, it has rendered my server essentially useless. I can't deal anymore.
I just want BTC Core until things are fixed and play nicely with each other. Could someone please explain the steps to get BTC Knots off my server with minimal effects to BTC Core? I would very much apprecite this. This had been more than frusturating.
Bitcoin Core and Knots are meant to be interchangeable with each other, without having to delete the blockchain, but the way that functionality was shoehorned into StartOS v0.3.5.1 makes switching between the two very confusing.
If, for instance, you have Bitcoin Core installed, and Bitcoin Knots comes out with an update, you’ll see an update to Knots available and seemingly encouraged. We’ve since coordinated Core and Knots releases on our marketplace so that this won’t be as confusing, but in any event, you probably saw an update while you had Core installed, and ended up switching to Knots. Since you’re on Knots now and you want to get rid of it without deleting the blockchain, you can go back to Core by:
Marketplace > Bitcoin Core > Re-Install
If you don’t see Re-Install available, go to System (on StartOS’s left-side menu) and then click “MANAGE” 5x. This will unlock Re-Installs in the marketplace.
I followed your steps to get off of Knots.Now I have been stuck in a BTC Core starting loop for 2 days. I Have stopped all my serviceses on my server to try to resolve this. Could you please guide me to what to do next. Nothing seems to be working for me. I am totally bumed here. Thank you
No need for a reply, I’m just going to delete and reinstall BTC Core… I can’t go a month without having access to core which is mainly the reason for buying the Server pure to begin with.
I will say that in the future, you guys should not put something in the marketplace that does not play nice or function with one of your main apps. At no time did I go into the community registry and select to install BTC knots. And yes, I probably did select to install or update it when it popped up in my update section on my main page. But Knots has totally “knotted “ up my system and essentially made my server an expensive paperweight. Needless to say that I’m frustrated and frankly pissed about this situation. I appreciate the timely support on the matter…. I understand the reason for getting off of telegram and discord but when I had a question, it was promptly answered. I have referred at least 3 people to buy a server pure but will make sure to tell them that they should expect zero support if they run into a problem. Thanks again
