#btc #bitcoin Knots on Start9 custom Bitcoin configuration steps to limit damage from Core DDoS attack. You will have to repeat this every time you upgrade to a new version of Knots for custom parameters that aren't in the Knots configuration UI. SSH into your Start9 server and issue the following commands to add custom parameters to your bitcoin configuration. Replace the version of Knots in the path as appropriate It is a good practice to make a backup copy of your configuration template sudo cp /embassy-data/package-data/volumes/bitcoind/assets/28.1.0.2/compat/bitcoin.conf.template /embassy-data/package-data/volumes/bitcoind/assets/28.1.0.2/compat/bitcoin.conf.template.original sudo nano /embassy-data/package-data/volumes/bitcoind/assets/28.1.0.2/compat/bitcoin.conf.template Add a section at the bottom. ## CUSTOM PARAMETERS maxuploadtarget=512 Save the configuration (CTRL-O to save, CTRL-X to exit) Restart your Knots service using the UI Verify that your change to the template has been applied as your bitcoin startup configuration: sudo podman exec -it bitcoind.embassy less /root/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf or if you want to operate within the container: sudo podman exec -it bitcoind.embassy bash less /root/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf (other commands - BE CAREFUL NOT TO CORRUPT YOUR CONTAINER) exit

Post #bitcoin V30 mnemonics? The Bloat – OP_RETURN swells from 80 bytes to 100 KB from release of Core V30. Direct support for CSAM, arbitrary junk, etc, more attack surface. The Gloat – Spammers, trolls, and bad actors brag about abusing Bitcoin’s permanent ledger with CSAM. The Smote – Mainstream media attacks Bitcoin due to CSAM on the blockchain and calls on governments to act. Regulators and courts strike node runners, miners, and service providers hosting the bitcoin blockchain. The Choke – Node operators shut down to moral/legal pressure and risk. Miners are forced to implement monitoring and transaction filtering policies. The Broke – Trust fractures, Bitcoin’s decentralization weakens, censorship resistance is broken and the network risks legal and social breakdown.

#bitcoin A picture is worth 1000 words as they say so I had Grok vibe code a mock Core v30 large OP_RETURN transaction and ChatGPT decode it. Link to ChatGPT share below. https://chatgpt.com/share/68ce1f3a-f5f8-8009-a075-0f99504403d0

https://bitcoinknots.org I recommend running a Start9 server if you are interested in more than just running a node. It has a ton of sovereign apps available including Knots. https://docs.start9.com/0.3.5.x/diy/

#bitcoin Knots is fighting to keep bitcoin a pure monetary network. Node runners vote your self interest, flex your muscle and run Knots. Re: Suggestion: Allow short messages to be sent together with bitcoins ? October 23, 2010, 07:02:57 PM ECDSA can't encrypt messages, only sign signatures. It would be unwise to have permanently recorded plaintext messages for everyone to see. It would be an accident waiting to happen. If there's going to be a message system, it should be a separate system parallel to the bitcoin network. Messages should not be recorded in the block chain. The messages could be signed with the bitcoin address keypairs to prove who they're from. https://satoshi.nakamotoinstitute.org/posts/bitcointalk/496/
