why i waited to switch to #Knots (Spoiler: i run it now. fork off, if you don't like it. but config matters.) TL;DR start9 shipped a broken default Knots config. it sent crazy-high fee estimates to LND. not knots' fault — it’s *powerful*, but that means you need to understand your config. check it. context: my node was once on the other side of this

[bug]: min_relay fee estimation issue when running with Bitcoin Knots · Issue #9048 · lightningnetwork/lnd

It's not my node. But it looks like the guy used Ind. There are force closures with other Lnd nodes (e.g. Garlic, Tatooine) that cost a couple mill...

peer force-closed a channel and paid an insane amount in fees. i thought, “hell no, don't touch knots with lnd” but i kept watching. turns out the root cause was a stray comma in start9s default config. not knots problem. just bad packaging. **knots is good.** more knobs, more visibility, more control than core. Over 85% you dominate the network Only 15% to disrupt it control your node. but don’t blindly trust defaults - know what you’re running final thought: if you don’t understand your config, fix that. or it’ll cost you. and to the peer who lost all those sats - hope you’re okay. #bitcoin #lightning #bitcoinKnots
