Dojo does not work with Bitcoin knots, it is

working with Bitcoin Core.
The problem is that the Health checks are not passing, the only one that is passing is MySQL, API is saying starting, PushTx is saying starting, Synced is saying starting, I have left this running for several hours and it seems like it is in a loop and does nothing.

Correct. If you look in your log you’ll see something like this:

ERROR Unsupported Bitcoin client detected: /Satoshi:28.1.0/Knots:20250305/. Exiting

This is deliberate.

So frustrating. Does anyone know if there are plans to align Dojo with Knots? I am not willing to go back to Core, now that it has pretty much gone roque. Frankly, I do not understand the reason behind this incompatibility either: is this a conscious choice, to support Core and NOT Knots? Or is Knots actively blocking Dojo? Are we talking about entrenched parties here?

4

So the problem is that Knots filters out coinjoin transaction? Is this because coinjoins need a large opreturn? The resources linked are all from 2023 and regarding Whirlpool specifically. Has anything changed since then? Why does Jam for Joinmarket work fine with Knots?

I was excited to try out Ashigaru as it seems like one of the best privacy wallets out there currently. Please help me understand why Dojo and Knots don’t work together.

All I know is what’s in the article I posted. Those are all questions for them. Future versions of StartOS will make it easier to switch between flavors, or perhaps run them in parallel.

6

is there any update on using Ashigaru Wallet with Start OS + Dojo + Knots ???

7

I haven’t heard anything new. As far as I know, there is no interest by the Dojo team, to allow it to connect to Knots.

This is really a question for them.

8

Unfortunately, Dojo has no Forum like this Forum. It really bugs me that apparently the Dojo team would have no interest in Knots compatibility. I think the Knots philosophy is very much aligned with Dojo.

Any idea on how we could flag this to them?

I’ve come back to this after release of 0.4.0. Dojo isn’t even available on the marketplace anymore? I still have Dojo (legacy) but I switched to Knots after the StartOS update. I don’t have a backup of Core that I was using. Can I just switch back to Core, or did I lose some required configuration?

Actually, Knots used to block whirlpool and BIP47 notification transactions, sabotaging the most useful functionality of dojo, which is why they banned it.

it’s in the beta community registry, you can add this: https://community-registry.start9.com (but note that this registry is used for beta testing, you might see beta updates for other services too when you add this).

I’m not seeing Dojo in the latest community marketplace. This is after I switched to bitcoin core v29.

oops, pasted the wrong url. Add this beta community registry: https://community-beta-registry.start9.com/

It’s showing up in the community registry now
