5 sats \ 3 replies \ @DarthCoin 12 May \ parent \ on: How To Switch Your Node From Bitcoin Core To Bitcoin Knots in just a few clicks bitcoin
a malicious miner will have a lower chance to find a spammy block if most people don't want to rely spam in their mempool,
LOL your local mempool have nothing to do with a random miner that also is running his own node... It matters ONLY if you also mine, with a decent hashrate that can have a voice.
The whole this debate is useless. Please use your rationale and not just blindly follow influencers that have no clue. And if you are a clueless user that have no idea about what is going on... just do nothing, let the things settle.

You are not looking at things far ahead in the future, ocean isn't relaying spam blocks they already make more money than other mempools (proportionally) and they are on uptrend as oppose to others. When a miner is looking for a block other nodes need to make sure this is a valid block, having more suspicious TX increase your latency and lower your chances as an other miner with less fishy TX can pick it up and win the block. This may sound a bit too theoretical BC ocean is still too small and fundry is still too big.

Soo... you answer to yourself: it doesn't matter for any umbrel/mynode node runner that is NOT mining.

I agree, if you are not sure what do then you should stay on older version of core.
