Thank you for your answer it helps a lot! Im just wondering if you could clarify something about the lite-rpc you mentioned - is this a stand alone "lite rpc node" then or is it something that runs on top of a full node? I wasn't aware there was a lite node. Coming from eth chains, I build relay programs to just interact with the p2p network layer in order to broadcast tx's from mulitple locations for low cost. Would it be comparable to that sort of setup?
by land the transaction i mean appear on the blockchain (appear on solscan - im using their timestamp for the tx) - im setting up the rpc connection with 'processed' as i would assume that this is the faster option as the blocks / transactions dont need to wait to be confirmed / finalised. But i could be wrong im new to solana :)
