Reducing the maximum connected nodes to a minimum could be desirable if traffic
|
||||
limits are tiny. Keep in mind that bitcoin's trustless model works best if you are
|
||||
connected to a handful of nodes.

## 4. Turn off transaction relay (`-blocksonly`)
|
||||
|
||||
Forwarding transactions to peers increases the P2P traffic. To only sync blocks
|
||||
with other peers, you can disable transaction relay.
|
||||
|
||||
Be reminded of the effects of this setting.
|
||||
|
||||
- Fee estimation will no longer work.
|
||||
- Not relaying other's transactions could hurt your privacy if used while a
|
||||
wallet is loaded or if you use the node to broadcast transactions.
|
||||
- It makes block propagation slower because compact block relay can only be
|
||||
used when transaction relay is enabled.
