Confirm Knots node on Start9 0.4.10 reachable

Browsed and don’t see this addressed on the site..

I have Start9 0.04.10 installed, Knots updated and running, how do I verify node is reachable since bitnodes.io went offline?

How do I confirm RDTS?

  • If your node is synced you are reachable.

  • If you look in the log you should see something like; warning=‘Miner violated version bit protocol’

If you see that then RDTS is ready and waiting for zero-day

Where do i get the onion address to enter into the search. do I need to create one in Knots>Interfaces>Peer ?

Yes, there should be a Tor section in Knots > Interfaces > Peer where you should see a button “+ Add Onion Service”. It requires the Tor service to be installed (it is in the normal Start9 Registry if you need to install it).

Done. Thanks, Paul.

Love your videos. I understand you rolled back to pre-rdts. Seems like the practical thing to do since the BIP-110 fail, but having cobbled together my piecemeal understanding of BTC in last 5 years in the margins of work/family life, buying into the ideal, then actually getting in the boat to cross the Deleware with all the other principled fighters just makes it difficult to walk away from.

But there will (hopefully) be a fight to be had on the Bithereum chain as well, in the future.

Appreciate your guidance. Thanks, again.
