Bitcoin Core 30.0 Released

[pliego]

Maybe for now it makes sense to just stay on the older Bitcoin Core versions. I’m using 28.1.0. In your opinion, which version below 30 is the best? Many people suggest switching to Knots, but I haven’t been able to make up my mind yet

been running knots for a while and to be honest it feels more like the original bitcoin vision without the data spam

I suggest using 29.2 as that will be maintained for a little while longer than 28.x.

In my personal opinion, I would wait to upgrade to Core v30 immediately, see how things go, and then make a decision.

FYI:

NOTICE: Wallet Migration bug present in Bitcoin Core wallet 30.0 & 30.1.

Under rare circumstances, migrating a legacy (BDB) wallet can delete all wallet files on the same node. If those wallets aren’t backed up, this can result in a loss of funds.

A fix will become available in Bitcoin Core 30.2. Until that is released, do not migrate legacy wallets using 30.0 or 30.1.

Only the legacy wallet migration process is affected. All other uses are unaffected. You can continue using Bitcoin Core normally, including existing wallets and running a node without wallets.
