    We don’t use Compact Blocks while performing background validation if the assumetxoutset option was used.

    After loading a snapshot and syncing all the way to the chain tip, Compact Blocks can be used for newly announced blocks because the mempool is already being populated even if doing background validation.

    @maflcko @willcl-ark Hi, I’d like to work on enabling Compact Blocks after loading a snapshot and syncing to the chain tip, even when assumetxoutset is used. Please assign this to me. Thanks!
