After a couple of days of syncing, I've finally got my full node setup on a 1TB SSD. Feels pretty liberating to finally see the green power icon/switch on sparrow instead of the yellow public one. Granted I'm still using a CEX so the anonymity benefits of running a node are mute, it still feels pretty neat to be able to verify my own transactions, and even better I can verify others and help out the network! Aside from the information window with things like connections, block height, etc, etc. Is there any neat bits on Bitcoin Core to look at? Things like how many transactions my node has personally verified or anything?

Anyways, just wanted to share with you guys that I'm doing my part and we've got another full node online! I literally have no one else in my life that would A.) care, or B.) even know what I'm talking about.
