Can I mine a specific transaction on ethereum

Question

I recently started programming on ethereum, and I have this doubt  for a while now, I want to know if it is possible to to place a transaction with very low fee(as low as 0.1 gwei) and get that transaction accepted with special to mine your transaction only.

Answer 1

On a public ethereum network it is somewhat possible but not likely. You can configure your miner and set a criteria to choose whichever transactions you wish to process.

However the chance of your block to be considered is less if we talk about the consensus. However, in private network, you can process your transactions for free.
