BTC Sessions 😎 Daryl Bitcoin Knots Hey Ben—really appreciate all the tutorials you share. 🙌 On Umbrel you can indeed switch from Bitcoin Core to Bitcoin Knots without resynchronizing. All it takes is dragging your existing data folder into the Knots app. Here's a quick step-by-step walkthrough if it helps:

Is this a tutorial people would find useful? @BitcoinKnots

@BitcoinKnots If I install Knots on my Umbrel will it hog all my bandwidth for another week or can it sync from Core? My stupid ISP only gives me 1TB/month too so that eats up 3/4 of it.

@BitcoinKnots On Umbrel it downloads as a secondary copy unfortunately. Start9 simply pulls your existing core download and replaces the software with knots, so you don't have to resynchronize. Ditto on desktop installing Knots.

@BTCsessions @sk8er1113 @BitcoinKnots do wallets have to be re synched also or the data file replacement will handle that?

Core, ‌the Bitcoin-first ‌chain, and how it’s trying to stretch BTC’s usefulness Core DAO (Core DAO 🔶) brands itself as “The Bitcoin Everything Chain.” The pitch is simple: take Bitcoin’s strengths and push them beyond the usual buy-and-hold story. The protocol centers on one main idea: BTC shouldn’t sit still. Core wants idle Bitcoin to earn, but without giving up the properties people care about most: safety, decentralization, and full self-custody. To get there, Core leans on a mix of Satoshi Plus, timelocks, and a quick Layer 1 EVM chain. Satoshi Plus folds in Delegated Proof of Work (so Bitcoin miners can participate), self-custodial Bitcoin staking, and staking of the $CORE token. Core frames the relationship with Bitcoin as mutualistic. It borrows security and incentive alignment from Bitcoin, then tries to send value back through extra miner rewards, trustless yield opportunities for BTC holders, and infrastructure that makes it easier for Bitcoin products to plug in and scale. Key ways Core aims to expand Bitcoin utility: 1.) Self-custodial Bitcoin staking Lock BTC with timelocks directly on the Bitcoin network (CLTV) and earn CORE yield, no wrapping, no bridges, and no handing custody to anyone else. 2.) Dual staking Stake $BTC and $CORE together to reach higher yield tiers. 3.) Tapping Bitcoin’s hash power Miners can delegate hash power to earn extra CORE rewards, while Core itself is secured using a majority share of Bitcoin’s hash rate. 4.) The “Bitcoin Power Grid” A set of rails Bitcoin products can connect to, built around yield, collateral, payments, and DeFi use cases. 5.) Scalable Bitcoin DeFi An EVM-compatible network designed for faster, cheaper BTCFi apps. 6.) Two-way value flow The goal is to strengthen Bitcoin’s security budget over time, while also turning dormant BTC into something that can actively do work. In plain terms, Core DAO’s broader mission is to make Bitcoin more productive without piling on trust assumptions, converting energy and capital tied up in Bitcoin into yield, DeFi activity, and scalable infrastructure.
