Mining empty blocks is disincentivized through transaction fees, so would only be done with other incentives (like a government subsidized pool to attack the network, or the government themselves attacking the network.)

There is no “legitimate” reason to mine empty blocks unless there are 0 transactions in the mempool.

Thank you for responding. I understood that mining empty blocks is not economical (in probably all cases) but a developer decision what is good or bad isn't better imho. And force-feeding "updates" (from devs who can be, i suspect, easily brought to service from [entity]) to users like in the case of monero isn't a viable solution for me.

I'm not sure your point, devs have no control over blocks being empty or not.

decentralized pools via p2pool - /censoring or mining empty blocks/

Devs provide sw which censors miners mining empty blocks.

Anyway i don't agree with many other statements provided at your presentation. But since it do not hold monero bags i do not really care. ☮️✌️

Still not really sure what you mean, p2pool is entirely optional.

No devs are forcing anything?

P2pool doesn't "censor" any miners, and is more censorship resistant than normal pool mining.
