  • I've only ever built Core but there's Samourai's Dojo, Omni Core, BTCD & Knots. There are 57 Omni nodes, & I guess Omni might be like SLP but in C++ so more efficient (I dunno, though, never used it, & it's based on a dated version of Core 🤔). Technically bitcoin.org is hosting an older version so that not everyone is running the exact same binary (v22 has twice the popularity of v23).
