Someone must sue these people? Don't they see the size of the mempool?
Discussion
But this is pretty normal occurrence.

Why are there empty blocks? ADVANCED
When a new block is found, mining pools send miners a block template with no transactions so they can start searching for the next block as soon as possible. They send a block template full of transactions right afterward, but a full block template is a bigger data transfer and takes slightly longer to reach miners.
In this intervening time, which is usually no more than 1-2 seconds, miners sometimes get lucky and find a new block using the empty block template.
Nailed it!
With the mempools being so full, it has made it take a bit longer to generate block templates, so these empty blocks have been occurring a bit more often, but it is a normal part of how mining works. Nothing to be concerned about.
They just happened to find a new block right on the heels of the previous block, and before a new block template could be populated with transactions.
Thank you! I wish more people read the available documents! 🐶🐾🫡🫂
This is what happens when we confuse protocols with apps and we start adding features. It’s just a soft-fork, nothing bad can happen. Curious to see the impact of these experiments long term
It’s not. It’s a race condition in the protocol and happens often.
It's like a race condition bug
Some people just like chaos. It’s why central planning can never work because no human is 100% predictable
This always happens when you find a block has before the new block template is ready.
They are already punished by not getting transaction fees. Stop your interventionist mindset.
I will take them to the bitcoin court myself
