Strong take, and honestly this is exactly why I asked.
The sovereignty/control argument for Knots makes sense to me, especially around what my node chooses to relay.
At the same time, I’m trying to understand the tradeoffs properly before choosing a side.

I’m seriously thinking about setting up my own Bitcoin node.
Not because I “need” to, but because it feels like the next natural step if you really care about Bitcoin.
At some point, holding Bitcoin is one thing.
Verifying it yourself is another.
Now I’m trying to decide what to run:
Bitcoin Core or Bitcoin Knots?
Core feels like the default, battle-tested path.
Knots seems more opinionated, with extra policy options and a different philosophy around spam, inscriptions, and what should be relayed by the network.
Curious what people here think.
If you were setting up a node today, would you go with Bitcoin Core or Bitcoin Knots, and why?

I really like the Don’t Die app.
It’s centralized, yes, but the idea is strong: health, habits, community, and accountability in one place.
Honestly, it would be even better as a Nostr app.
Open identity, portable data, social health without the platform lock-in.
It’s getting pretty annoying having separate accounts and logins for everything. Nostr fixes that beautifully.
For me, it’s probably the best “second-best thing” after Nostr.

Appreciate you brother ⚡ Really feeling the energy already. Prague is going to be special. See you on that frequency.

Posts like this are why nostr feels different. Real food, real tools, real life. That kind of connection is getting rare.

I’m very pro-iPhone, and I also think regular Android is full of spyware, so paying $1200 to leave iOS doesn’t sound like an obvious win to me. If work still forces you to carry a company phone, the privacy benefit gets diluted anyway. GrapheneOS only makes sense if that tradeoff really matters to you.”

Nostr got the freedom part right. Now it needs the small UX touches, and a better messenger for sending images and files easily.

Fair point 😅 That’s also why I prefer a setup that reveals a lot less if seen. Still, point taken.

Not really a dealbreaker for me. This is 2-of-3 multisig, so losing or damaging the device alone doesn’t expose my wallet. I can just replace the Bitkey and recover the setup.

For me, this is the best solution. No paper backups, no metal plates, and now even more privacy with Chain Code Delegation. Just simplicity from the company I trust most. Pair that with free auto-withdrawal on Strike and the whole setup feels incredible. Not sure what everyone else prefers, but this is it for me.

Yes! Bitcoin won’t make more goods appear. It just helps you hold on to the value of your work when everything else gets repriced.

Most people don’t defend truth. They defend the narrative that made them feel safe. That’s why every new “expert consensus” should be questioned, especially before it becomes untouchable.

Fair point. Like training, consistency matters. I agree that quality matters more than numbers right now, and I hope Nostr can grow without losing what makes it different. Glad to be here 😁😁😁

Haha, but do you really think most people care about all that? For Nostr to break through, it has to offer something truly unique. Built-in wallets are a huge advantage, but I don’t think that alone is enough. Anyway, that’s a much bigger conversation.

It’s not easy. The influence of the big social media platforms is massive, and people rarely give something different a real chance. But I really want Nostr to succeed.
