-### Full node on the Ropsten test network

-In addition to Görli and Rinkeby, Geth also supports the ancient Ropsten testnet. The
-Ropsten test network is based on the Ethash proof-of-work consensus algorithm. As such,
-it has certain extra overhead and is more susceptible to reorganization attacks due to the
