Matt Hill: "[In that period] Start9 sold 1,004 servers and observed an ~2,000 new DIY instances. Bitcoin Core was downloaded 2,201 times. Bitcoin Knots was downloaded 3,202 times. Download figures represent the aggregate of testing, upgrading, switching, and fresh installs. Based on these figures, we think it is safe to assume that StartOS added 1,500 - 2,000 new nodes to the Bitcoin network from June 1 - Sep 8, with a ~1,000 node swing in favor of Knots. This is further supported by the overwhelming feedback from users expressing interest in running Knots. So StartOS ALONE largely accounts for the chart above, and that's without taking, Parmanode, Umbrel, MyNode, and random Linux distros into account."
