The Knuth team is pleased to announce the release of its **C#/.NET API version 0.7.0.** https://github.com/k-nuth/cs-api This release includes the following features and fixes: Based on the **Knuth C-API version 0.5.3.** https://github.com/k-nuth/c-api Workaround to fix an error in the crawlers **cashnodes.bitcoinunlimited.info** and **cash.coin.dance/nodes**. Now Knuth nodes are counted by this tool. https://cashnodes.bitcoinunlimited.info/nodes https://cash.coin.dance/nodes Our goal is to provide a set of libraries in various programming languages that simplifies application development, ease on-boarding of new developers and let them build their new ideas and really boost the Bitcoin Cash ecosystem. Using the Knuth C#/.NET API you can use our node as a library.
