Just download the other Linux binaries in Bitcoin Knot's official website:
bitcoinknots.orgYou may also read the security notes about verification below the home page.
Or download the binaries directly from the repo's releases page:
github.com/bitcoinknots/bitcoin/releasesI recommend to get the ready-to-use "
x86_64-linux-gnu" compressed tar.gz binary (
if you're using a common non-arm desktop machine),
Extract it somewhere, cd to the 'bin' folder inside it and run "
bitcoin-qt":
github.com/bitcoinknots/bitcoin/blob/28.x-knots/doc/README.mdAlso I already have BTC core installed so I'd also like to save downloading the whole blockchain again if I can help it (no big deal if it's not possible).
You may set multiple lines of "
loadblock=<full path to your blk00xx.dat file>" to your bitcoin.conf file and it will try to copy and verify it instead of downloading from other nodes.
The import and verification operation may still take time depending on your machine's specs, so don't expect it to be as fast as copy-paste.
