⚠ Important information for Bitcoin Knots BIP 110 activation client ⚠

HOW TO INSTALL?

1. Stop Bitcoin.
2. Download "bitcoind.s9pk" from the Github Release: https://github.com/Retropex/knots-startos/releases/tag/v29.2.knots20251110%2Bbip110-v0.1rc1
3. In StartOS, navigate to System -> Sideload a Service
4. Upload bitcoind.s9pk

WHY DOWNLOAD INSTEAD OF MARKETPLACE?

Due to a bug in StartOS 0.3.5.1, services with the same package ID cannot be listed on the same Registry.

Core is currently listed on the Start9 Registry. Knots is currently listed on the Community Registry. So Knots BIP 110 has no registry and therefore must be side loaded.

This issue is fixed in StartOS 0.4.0, when all three implementations of Bitcoin will be listed on the Start9 Registry. Switching between them will be clear and easy.

In the marketplace listing, you can click "versions" and select the version you want to install.

You can choose whether to run Core or Knots, and you can switch between them without needing to resync the chain. Hope that answers your question

⚠ PSA, PLEASE READ ALL ⚠

1. Bitcoin Knots 29.1 AND Bitcoin Core 29.1 are now available on the marketplace 🎉

2. Due to a bug in StartOS 0.3.5.1, we recommend stopping Bitcoin before updating. Otherwise, Bitcoin might get stuck in a "stopping" state. If this happens, the fix is to restart the server.

3. Due to another bug in StartOS 0.3.5.1, after updating Bitcoin, it will temporarily enter a "Needs Config" state. It does not need config. Just wait, it will go away in a few seconds.

4. Due to a bug in StartOS 0.3.5.1, Knots and Core will BOTH display as having an update available in the "Updates" tab. Don't worry, we are not trying to trick you into switching implementations. If you currently have Knots installed, updating to Core will fail. If you currently have Core installed, updating to Knots will fail.

5. To switch from Knots to Core, or from Core to Knots, follow these instructions: https://community.start9.com/t/installing-bitcoin-knots/1997/5
