Thank you for your kind words! I appreciate your feedback and I am glad to hear that my articles have helped you.

As for your question, if you want to maintain privacy, it is recommended that you create a new wallet after connecting to the core node. This is because if you create a hot wallet before connecting to the node, then the history of transactions associated with that wallet may still reveal information about your previous transaction history.

By creating a new wallet after connecting to the node, any previous transactions or linked addresses are not visible within the freshly created Sparrow hot wallet address. This helps protect against any unwanted transparency in transaction histories and unnecessary pinging back-trails.

I hope this was helpful! If there is anything else I can assist with please do not hesitate to ask.
