A ton of notifications just appeared... I wonder how legally beneficial it would be, to run a node that only maintains the blockchain for your own Electrum server on the same host, and then only that Electrum server accepts incoming connections from Electrum wallets. Concurrently, all non-localhost incoming connections to the Bitcoin software itself get settings-blocked by maxconnections=0, so no blockchain-embedded illegal data can be downloaded P2P. Unless I'm misunderstanding the config of Electrum servers & everything can be accessed remotely.

Deactivated my account & discovered I could log right back in without TOTP 2FA. Seems like a vuln. After I reactivated, I set that up again from square one.
