Bitcoin Knots

Bitcoin Knots has not experienced any major scandals, hacks, or criminal charges. Bitcoin Knots is open source, non-custodial, and built as a derivative of Bitcoin Core.

Bitcoin Knots was created and is maintained by Luke Dash Jr.

Bitcoin Knots is an open source project maintained globally by community developers, with no corporate headquarters.

Bitcoin Knots is both a wallet and a full Bitcoin node. Bitcoin Knots downloads and validates the entire blockchain making it possible for users to verify transactions independently. Private keys are generated and stored locally on the user’s device, protected by encryption and recovery methods. The software also includes advanced configuration options for users who want fine-grained control of their Bitcoin node.

Bitcoin Knots launched around February 10, 2011.
