Oh I see. Same same but different. I still remember when Jihan Wu coined the phrase "small blockers" while Bitmain was mining empty blocks whenever they could to leech those block rewards without doing their job, confirming transactions. Just because it's possible to mine an empty block by design doesn't mean it's right.

It's not right at all. It's a waste.
Right. Though back then empty blocks weren't as uncommon as today but Bitmain was really good at mostly assembling empty ones thus my notion of "reward leeching" but hey, small blockers suck! 😉
