It depends.
Each taproot input increases the (virtual) size of the transaction by around 57 vbyte and each bech32 input increases that by around 68 vbyte.
Each taproot output increases the (virtual) size of the transaction by around 43 vbyte and each bech32 output increases that by around 31 vbyte.

Thanks for the correction. I edited my post.

Pruned nodes prune old blocks. Pruned nodes keep the last blocks and the amount of the data kept by them depends on their settings. Pruned nodes also keep the UTXO set as they need it for validating new transactions.

Nodes keep the entire blockchain and also validate new transactions and blocks.

Edit: Nodes don't necessarily keep the entire blockchain. If a node is a pruned node, it keeps the UTXO set and the last x blocks. (x depends on the pruned node settings).
Thanks Charles-Tim for the correction.


What do you mean by "the information on the first block"?
Blocks are mined at the rate of 1 per ~ 10 minutes on average. It's not that we have a new block every 10 minutes.


With running you own node, you can protect your privacy and also help the network be more decentralized.
If you run your own node, you would have a copy of the blockchain (and unconfirmed transactions in your mempool) and you wouldn't have to use block explorers or SPV wallets for checking transactions. If you run your own node, you can also broadcast your transactions by yourself.

Bitcoin core is a software which is used for downloading the blockchain and verifying transactions. It also provides a wallet.
Unless you want to run your own node, you don't have to use bitcoin core. There are many other wallets. Good examples are electrum and sparrow. They are SPV wallets and you don't have to download the blockchain for using them.

With running your own node you can protect your privacy and help the network be more decentralized, but it's not that you increase your security with running you own node.
Take note that any online device is always prone to hacking. If you want to be completely secure, you should generate and use your wallet on an air-gapped device or go for a good hardware wallet.

As mentioned by BlackHatCoiner above, if the fee you pay for your transaction is high enough, it will be confirmed in the next block and I just want to add that blocks are mined at the rate of 1 per ~ 10 minutes on average.

They may decrease the 2FA fee (in BTC) with more increase in bitcoin price in the future.

They have done so in the past.
For example, the 2FA fee charged by trustedcoin was 0.001 BTC for every 20 transactions in 2020 and 0.002 BTC in 2017.

Yes, that's possible.
A transaction being local means that it exists in the wallet file, but the server you are connected to doesn't have it in its mempool.

If you connect to a server that has the transaction in its mempool, the transaction is written to the wallet file and you will see that in your wallet. If the server is changed to a one that doesn't have your transaction in its mempool, your transaction would be still in the wallet file and you will still see that in your wallet, but as local. The same thing can happen if you are still connected to the same server, but the server drops the transaction from its mempool.

I just tried it again and I had the same experience as Potato Chips.

I submitted a transaction at the start of the hour and I again got the message saying captcha was not right. I am again sure that I solved the captcha successfully. I even got a message from the captcha provider saying that the verification was successful, but the website gave me an error.

After getting the error from the website, there were still 9 remaining free hourly transactions and I tried it again. This time, I managed to submit the transaction successfully.

So, ViaBTC free accelerator is still working.

I just tried to submit a transaction into their free accelerator to see how it works.
You are right. It displayed a message saying the captcha was not correct when I submitted the transaction at the start of the hour. I am also sure that I solved the captcha correctly.

I just tried to visit the website. It's down for me too.


Edit:
I see some pages can be accessed. For example, following links are working.

https://bpip.org/Report?r=earnedmerit
https://bpip.org/Report?r=mostactivity
https://bpip.org/Report?r=mostrecognized
https://bpip.org/support.aspx

The home page and profiles don't load.


Edit 2:
I could visit some profiles. Now, it's only the home page that doesn't load.


Edit 3:
Everything is OK now.

Unfortunately, the network has become even more congested since you broadcasted your transaction.

Yesterday, when I made a post in this thread, your transaction was around 8 vMB from the tip of mempools and it's now worse. Your transaction is now around 25 vMB from the tip of mempools.
Can't expect your transaction to be confirmed anytime soon.


Edit:
RoatanMan, you are very lucky.
I was checking if ViaBTC free accelerator is still working and since I didn't have any unconfirmed transaction, I decided to try it with your transaction and I could do that successfully.
Your transaction will be likely confirmed in the next block mined by ViaBTC. They have around 12.5% of the total hash power and it's expected that they mine 1 block in every 80 minutes on average.
