I only learned because I saw someone else do it.
Also, it’s making me think and research more on the whole core/knots debate. Because if knots doesn’t “like” the uxto transaction set that core has validated. Why is it possible to move the chain data folder between apps 🤔
It’s almost like they are using all then same info anyway. 🤪
most of the code is the same, core just made changes that stopped users setting some configurations, changed defaults in ways that potentially could increase spam.
also, knots is simply not relaying transactions the filter settings say are spam.
once they get into blocks they accept them, and i think it can also be set to not relay those blocks for a while, like first or second block have to go on top before it will start relaying the block.
it happens fairly often, like every few months that there is two blocks competing to be at the top and settings like this would favor the block that didn't have as much spam in it.
it won't cause a fork but it may reduce spam, slow it down, and favor legitimate use.
