It is also possible to use other wallet software, but be aware of the risks (xpub leak when not usig your own node) and preferably use a watch-only wallet.

### Which Bitcoin Core versions are supported?
285+
286+
!!! warning
287+
JoinMarket <=`v0.9.11` __does not support__ Bitcoin Core >=`v30`.
288+
289+
JoinMarket is compatible with Bitcoin Core releases up to `v29`.
290+
Beginning with Bitcoin Core `v26`, [a special config property (`deprecatedrpc=create_bdb`) needs to be enabled](#jam-doesnt-work-anymore-after-updating-bitcoin-core-to-v260) to for full functionality. JoinMarket `v0.9.11` does not support Bitcoin Core `v30`; users should continue running `v29` or earlier until `v30` support is added.
291+
292+
!!! hint
293+
294+
BerkeleyDB (BDB) wallet support was removed in Bitcoin Core `v30`.
295+
This leads to issues for JoinMarket and thus also Jam.
296+
The problem should be fixed [once JoinMarket is supporting Bitcoin Core descriptor wallets](https://github.com/JoinMarket-Org/joinmarket-clientserver/pull/1775). A release is not yet published at the time of writing (2025-10-15).

_For now, the fix is to add `deprecatedrpc=create_bdb` to your bitcoin.conf file._
