@npub1wnl…n3wr released another video, @npub1xlx…wvhf will support the fork by updating the node to the latest Knots version as soon as it is released.

https://zapnode.io is a weapon. Together we rise, together we fight, 83bytes is the line in the sand, core says let it go. Knots takes a stand. Knots are rising, one in four—voices guarding, Satoshi core.

Good point. Zapnode.io isn’t meant to replace people running their own basement nodes. It’s a tool to supplement node runners by letting them spin up extra Knots nodes in the cloud. By design it can’t be purely cypherpunk. Using Zaprite today reduces the operational load of Lightning and also supports Zaprite and Strike, which we see as part of the same ecosystem. It’s not for profit at this stage, just a weapon to strengthen node runners. In the future we’ll add the ability to zap private nodes directly, and at that point running our own Lightning node will make sense.

KnotsCast is strong, but it doesn’t fight alone.
Zapnode was built to supplement the resistance, providing the community with a tool it can deploy instantly against spam and centralization.
Your home node is sovereignty.
Zapnode is a force multiplier.
Together, they make the KnotsCast impossible to silence.
Spin one up or support an existing node today → zapnode.io

🚀 Zapnode is Growing!
More nodes online.
Longer uptimes.
Increased community support for the fight against spam.
This isn’t just theory; the community is actively launching and backing Bitcoin Knots nodes through Zapnode. Each new node enhances Bitcoin’s defenses, proving the skeptics wrong.
Zapnode is a community-driven initiative—not for profit and not a replacement for home nodes. It serves as a powerful tool that the community can deploy to strengthen our network.

Zapnode is not running out of living rooms. It is running inside datacenters, on fiber, connected directly to the backbone of the internet.
You want to flood and isolate. Fine.
Fight that Portland.

Today we learned Bitcoin Knots node runners are under coordinated attack.
This is exactly why Zapnode exists.
They laughed at us. They mocked our “Comcast” home internet connections, as if decentralization was weakness. They underestimated us.

You can use Lightning to fund Knots nodes on Zapnode.io,
Fully synced from snapshot, pruned, just another way to keep Bitcoin honest.

By the way, the food on your website looks delicious 😍 I had to open it on a desktop because it wouldn't load on my mobile phone, which doesn't have HTTPS. You can get one for free using https://letsencrypt.org. I'd be happy to help if you need it.

This is impressive—and enough to support dozens of Bitcoin Knots nodes running for months. We created Zapnode to make that simple: efficient, fast, and spam-resistant. It's not a business, just a tool to get more honest nodes online.

🌍 Zapnode Goes Global — Spam Has Nowhere to Hide
You can now launch your Zapnode in 10+ global regions:
📍 New York | Singapore | London | Amsterdam
📍 Frankfurt | Toronto | San Francisco | Bangalore
📍 Sydney | Atlanta
Wherever inscription spam tries to spread—we’ll meet it there.
With every Knots node spun up, we take back Bitcoin’s blockspace.
But let’s be clear:
Zapnode doesn’t replace your home node. It never will.
What we’re building is a tool—an instantly deployable way to fight:
⚔️ Spam
🚫 Bitcoin Core’s AWS-based censorship relay network
⚡ Routing latency that weakens sovereign usage
Run a node at home. Run one with us. Run both.
Just don’t leave Bitcoin undefended.
🔗 zapnode.io
🧱 Powered by Bitcoin Knots.
💥 Snapshot-bootstrapped.
🔒 Private from day one.

2025-08-02 20:45:38 UTC

Zapnode isn’t a replacement for your home node.
It’s a weapon.
Against inscription spam.
Against Core’s AWS relays.
For routing real Bitcoin.
More Knots. Less bloat.

🚀 Zapnode Update: Instant Node Bootstrapping from Snapshots!
We’re thrilled to announce that Zapnode now provisions nodes from snapshots!
This means your node will launch almost fully synced, giving you near-instant access to the Bitcoin network. As soon as your node is up, you’ll have private RPC credentials ready—so you can connect securely and start using it right away.
Thank you for being part of this journey. Your support keeps the decentralized future thriving!
