66 sats \ 5 replies \ @k00b 24 Jul \ on: Why Does using DATUM on my Start9 require Knots ? bitcoin_Mining
You shouldn't need to use Knots for DATUM. But it looks to be the case that the 'packages' they release on Start 9 requires Knots as a dependency.
I wonder if Start9 might allow you to point DATUM at Core instead and the Knots dependency is optional. I'm not sure if there are Start9 folks on SN or if any stackers are mining with DATUM.

I have tried running DATUM with start9 and using core...it does not work. So i had to switch to knots but i dont have the burning desire to filter and would rather have core running so my fee estimation is accurate for my lightning nodes. So im stuck with having to choose between the two (cant have knots and btc core running on the same server) :(

it does not work
I'd reach out to Start9 for help. They are very adamant about how great their customer support is, and I suspect they're being honest.

alright, see what they say. I suspect they will say to talk with Ocean to see why.

Start9 confirmed there are some campatibility issues with template construction using DATUM and btc core together, at least from the research that they scrounged up on my behalf. So, its my guess that Ocean are optimizing the user experience for those start9 / umbrel setups by only allowing knots...then if a user wants to make it work with core its still an option for the more technically savvy that will be running their own server stack. That's my takeaway and my hope for the reasoning.
