I can't stress enough how important this is: 1) Get your own node - (easy) or (intermediate) 2) Install - use it if you want to look up transactions / blocks or transaction fees 3) Use with for your cold storage

It’s important to run your own @mempool node for security, privacy, and censorship resistance. If mempool.space gets censored or attacked, you won’t be affected if you self-host your own @mempool node. We support one-click installation on Umbrel, Raspiblitz, and MyNode.

Buy: * a Raspberry Pi 4 B 8GB + case * a 32+ GB SSD * a 1 TB+ SSD + case Should set you back about USD 250 tops. Setting up is as easy as * putting all the stuff together (5-10m depending on how clumsy you are) * flashing the SSD (5m)

Open you your umbrel's homepage. Click "App Store". Install: * Mempool * Specter You're good to go, checking up transactions, fees etc. on your **very own** node. You can even configure your own mempool instance as block explorer in specter settings.
