What is the difference between local and remote transaction?

Question

In latest go-ethereum, miners firstly try to mine local txs and then try to mine remote txs.

what are the exact differences between them?

I've got a feeling you're reading release notes or something. Please do add links to what you mean by "latest go-ethereum", to a specific version. This will help the Q/A remain relevant as time goes on. — Noel Maersk, Apr 23, 2019 at 9:18

"Local transactions" are transactions whose sender is an address that is in the running instance of geth. For example in a mining pool they would be the payments to miners.
"Remote transactions" everything else.

Thank you for helping me. Transactions created with all private keys in "keystore" folder seems to be local transactions.
