Knots more resource intense than btc core ?

1197 sats \ 18 comments \ @BeeRye 9 Sep bitcoin

I have been having issues with my start9 heating up sporadically to like 85-90 celsius. Yesterday I switched from knots back to btc core and it seems to have resolved the issue (needs more time to be sure).

Anyone else experienced this between knots and core ?

It seems like such a weird installation on Start9, because it looks as if both are running. I never had an overheating issue, but my server was completely funky for a while. I got help from Start9 support. They thought it was my datum installation, not Knots. Then they weren't sure. I did a re install and everything has been okay. Are you running datum?

oooo, yes i was. I switched to core so now my datum is off as it does not work with core on Start9. Interesting so could have been that the whole time.

All I know is my trouble started when I started running datum.

You're asking the wrong guy! I don't know. Maybe some more knowledgeable Start9 users will weigh in.

Yes, the default configuration of Knots is using more resources. The virtual memory grabbed is about factor 4x more than Core.

If you have enough available memory, you may consider to increase dbcache property in bitcoin.conf. That may help

interesting. So i think the combo of DATUM + knots was wreaking havoc on my server.

Yes, knots is very resource hungry in comparison to core.

My Umbrel has been acting up too since I installed Knots + Datum. I guess the recent attacks on Knots data limits could be a reason too.

Been perfect for me. Running Knots on my Start9 for a while now.

I think DATUM was the culprit.
