Discover the story of Bitcoin Knots, the lesser-known but powerful alternative to Bitcoin Core, created by developer Luke Dashjr.
From its origins as a personal fork in 2011 to its role today as a stricter, more configurable version of Bitcoin software, Bitcoin Knots represents a different philosophy: more policies, more controls, and more experimentation.
Learn how Knots diverged from Core, the controversies around Replace-By-Fee, and why some advanced users and miners still choose Knots today.

00:11Created by developer Luke Dasha, Bitcoin Nots is a derivative of Bitcoin Core that takes a different approach to Bitcoin's rules, policies, and features.
00:18Today, we'll dive into the evolution of Bitcoin Nots from its early beginnings to its role in Bitcoin today.
00:24Bitcoin Nots began as a personal branch of Bitcoin Core around 2011.
00:27At the time, Luke Dasha wanted a version of Bitcoin software that included features not accepted into the main project.
00:34Nots quickly became known as a place for asterisk, asterisk, experimentation, asterisk, asterisk,
00:38where policy changes, advanced tools, and stricter security options could be tested before or even without reaching Bitcoin Core.
00:45As Bitcoin Core stabilised its servers, the reference and implementation, Nots took a different direction.
00:50While Core focused on consensus and neutrality, Nots emphasised asterisk, asterisk, policy and configurability, asterisk, asterisk.
00:57Node operators using Nots gained more control over memple policies, transaction, relay rules, and mining settings.
01:03This made Nots especially attractive for advanced users who wanted a tighter grip over how their nodes interacted with the network.
01:09During the years leading up to and following the asterisk, asterisk, asterisk, with activation in 2017, asterisk, asterisk, Bitcoin Nots stood out for its independent stance.
01:17Luke Dasha maintained stricter policies around replace-by-fee and block validation.
01:21Nots also introduced asterisk, asterisk, tools for miners, asterisk, asterisk, asterisk, and asterisk, asterisk, transaction, filters, asterisk, asterisk, that were never adopted by Core.
01:29These decisions made Nots more of a niche choice, but it gained respect as a watchdog implementation, ensuring that Core wasn't the only software defining Bitcoin's path.
01:37As Bitcoin continued to scale, Bitcoin Nots kept pace with Bitcoin Core releases, while maintaining its unique features.
01:43It became recognized as a asterisk, asterisk, parallel implementation, asterisk, asterisk, Core for mainstream adoption, Nots for advanced operators, and those cautious of changes.
01:52Nots earned a reputation for prioritizing asterisk, asterisk, security, and conservative consensus, asterisk, asterisk, sometimes delaying or rejecting features that Core pushed forward.
02:01For example, default policies on transaction replacement or OP backslash return behavior often differed.
02:06By 2025, Bitcoin Nots is still here, a living project more than a decade old.
02:12While most of the Bitcoin ecosystem runs on Core, Nots continues to provide an alternative view of how Bitcoin software should function.
02:18It offers strict to defaults, enhanced policy tools, and a developer-driven approach.
02:23For some, Nots represents Bitcoin's safety check, a reminder that decentralization isn't just about the network, but also about the diversity of software implementations that keep it running.
02:32Bitcoin Nots may never replace Bitcoin Core, but it doesn't have to.
02:35Its value lies in being an asterisk, asterisk, alternative, asterisk, asterisk, offering independence, configurability, and a critical voice in Bitcoin's development.
02:43From its early days as a personal fork to its status today as a long-standing alternative client, Bitcoin Nots proves that Bitcoin's strength is not only in its code, but in the diversity of its ideas.
02:53Whether you run Core, Nots were both the evolution of Bitcoin Nots' story of resilience, independence, and the pursuit of freedom in open-source development.
