Hummm, interesting, so my full node is not validating transactions from everyone else even when connected to the publicj network? If I do not make transactions on my own then what is the point? how is that we are helping the network?
Of course, no. Only fullnodes+mining add transactions to the blockchain (this means full nodes from pools, and private big miners doing solo-mining).
Full nodes whithout mining only helps by checking blocks (blockchain integrity), and spread them to the network.
