Have 3 miners running :-). Ok, I understand all above, but if you're not mining, only a full node, you don't make transaction selections from the mempool. So, I only verify a found block, but what if that block comes from a core mempool? What the heck does my knots do with this?

Well if you got 3 Miners you are deep into it already!

I think there is some confusion here:

your node decides which transactions to propagate to the network (and if you use Knots you decide to not propagate spam transactions). But spams are still propagated by other core nodes, so they still get picked up and mined in a block by miners.

There is no such thing as a “core block”, a block is a block. Once a block has been mined (whether it contains spam transactions or not) every node (core or knots) validate it

Makes sense?

Thank you! That was my missing part. Makes complete sense now. Still a bit doubtful on making my node(s) public. Ok, its tor but we are dealing with very clever people in this space.

Anytime man 👍🏼 shoot away if you have any more questions.

I want to dedicate my life to bitcoin education so I love doing this, and you already have been very generous with your zaps so don’t worry about it 😁

About making your node public I openly admit to you I’m not sure about it. from what I gathered you want to run a “outbound” node so that your “number” stay private, correct?
