This is a kind of funky release note, isn’t it? Is it safe to update to this ‘version’?

Thanks

It looks completely understandable to me. Are you aware of that Bitcoin Knots pre-RDTS (now abandoned and unmaintained) is now completely different from Knots proper? It would be expected for you to not be able to switch between them as you would have before the fork.

Thanks for the reply. But if I’m still running pre-RDTS, can I continue to do so and update to this and any future pre-RDTS updates?

There are unlikely to be any future pre-RDTS updates, it’s abandoned. But if they were, you could update to them, but you can’t switch to Blake2bCoin.

haven’t been paying attention but this caught my eye. what version do I run then? Bitcoin core is now the default, and the only version that will be maintained? How safe would it be to keep running pre-rtds knots? Guess I’m stuck with that version since I’d rather not run core since they’ve been so dismissive of the bitcoin community

Bitcoin Core references the Bitcoin blockchain, Knots references the Blake2b blockchain. To run Knots but on Bitcoin you’d need to keep running the version of Knots you have now. But you’d have to remember no-one is actively maintaining it, there’ll be no updates. What you run is up to you, I certainly can’t tell you.

Thanks for the reply.

Guess that was my understanding as we[l, but I can’t see transacting on that chain since the value of those coins are so low and don’t foresee them ever getting close to today’s bitcoin price. Pushing the hard fork wasn’t a good move but I understand it. Yet it seems like titling at windmills to me.

So I’ll just keep running the abandoned pre-rtds knots version until something better comes along or bitcoin core comes to their senses.
