An alternative to running Bitcoin core.

knots is a fork of core with a placebo mempool filtering policy

What is the filter policy?

What transactions does it reject?

wouldn't it be nice if the official website actually said what the filters are?

not being sarcastic. it literally doesn't.

presumably it's filtering any ordinals, and transactions with large opreturns. even if they are valid in the bitcoin consensus.

if at least one miner doesn't have severe autism, even the knots nodes will save these into a block. the filters are placebo.

Ofc, mempool rules like these are not concensus rules so yeah
