Abstract
The ternary Goldbach conjecture states that every odd number $m \geqslant 7$
can be written as the sum of three primes. We construct a set of primes
$\mathbb{P}$ defined by an expanding system of admissible congruences such that
almost all primes are not in $\mathbb{P}$ and still, the ternary Goldbach
conjecture holds true with primes restricted to $\mathbb{P}$.
