Anyone here running bitcoin knots noticed this message in the logs during verification?
date='2024-01-26T19:18:29Z' progress=0.821011 cache=214.0MiB(1747940txo) warning='Miner violated version bit protocol'
Anything to be concerned of? Can be ignored?
Knots has a stricter opinion of what are good blocks, transactions and other “bits” and pieces of protocol. This is it flagging stuff it didn’t like but can’t do anything about because consensus doesn’t agree/care. Nothing you can do about it either, and isn’t an immediate concern.
Thanks for the reply.
So in this case it doesn’t matter if one is using bitcoin core, since nothing can be done because consensus doesn’t agree/care?
I am just trying to decided one of the two. My other node is running core.
Well with Knots it’s going to download the blocks for sure, it if didn’t you’d be using a different chain that isn’t bitcoin.
What Knots does do is remove any “spam” in transactions in those blocks by flagging it as invalid.
In a sense, its mostly a political statement to run Knots for most people though, mostly.
