pull down to refresh
Maybe you tried several of the recent alphas?
If you didn't see core 30 in the marketplace, it's because you didn't add the alpha registry (In which case it seems you didn't really try the alpha, since you didn't install any services?)
If you actually try a the latest (or any) beta, you will see everything, including the latest core release.
alpha registry
Yeah, I misspoke earlier—I wasn’t actually running the alphas, just reading release notes.
That said, the issue I’m running into is separate: the installed “Bitcoin Core” service appears to actually be Knots, and there’s no clear indication of that without inspecting it directly.
That’s pretty misleading, especially if you’re trying to work with features tied to specific Core versions (e.g. SV2 mining IPC interface).
Even after adding the alpha registry, I’m still not seeing an obvious way to install the actual Core 30 build—what am I missing?
I'm not sure what you mean. What is saying Core is actually Knots?
What ISO are you using? Use this and you won't have to be adding any alpha registry:

I found about the beta through this thread.
Core is mentioned for 0.4.0: https://github.com/Start9Labs/bitcoin-core-startos/issues/185#issuecomment-4173662898
It says Knots keeps crashing on Start9 hardware b/c it doesn't have this feature that Core already has.
It's more evidence that I am a test subject for them to dust off some abandoned 10 year old bitcoin side-project. I know the people who work on the real bitcoin core, I want to see their changes. They are not interchangeable.

I'm a fan of the hardware, and I'm a fan of the software, and I think wireguard tunneling is cool!
But I'm not a fan of the politics.
like for the last 6mo I have been waiting for the Start9 guys to make peace w/ Core and add any core release v30+ to the app store. I have tried several of the recent betas, I haven't tried this one yet though, but if they didnt make a point about it in the release notes my hopes are nil.
I hear rumors of potentially supporting some future core release again but nothing official, these guys don't believe Bitcoin is bitcoin anymore. I haven't had time to figure out how to hack it in but i definitely don't believe I should have to.
