Reduced Data Temporary Softfork
===============================

This version of Bitcoin Knots applies the BIP110 (RDTS) network upgrade,
which fixes critical vulnerabilities in long-standing network design. To
avoid applying this upgrade by accident, this version asks for explicit
confirmation.

Important: Because this upgrade already has broad community support,
skipping this update or reverting to an older software version does not
reject it. Running outdated software after any network upgrade only
leaves your node vulnerable to displaying fake or fraudulent
transactions. To effectively reject this upgrade, you need to run
alternative software designed to split away from the upgraded network.

To confirm this upgrade, click 'OK' on the GUI startup prompt, or add to
your bitcoin.conf file:

consensusrules=rdts

If you are not ready to adopt the RDTS upgrade yet, you can download
this same version of Bitcoin Knots without RDTS support (though as noted
above, doing so does not reject the upgrade) from:

https://github.com/bitcoinknots/bitcoin/releases/tag/v29.3.knots20260507
