If there are two blocks like 910283 and 910284 found in a short amount of time why is the second one half empty even though the mempool is full with waiting transactions? 🧐

Ok I did a quick research and found that it’s a thing with ViaBTC mining pool in general.

And ChatGPT was telling me this:

“ViaBTC blocks are often not full because the pool prioritizes building block templates quickly (to reduce the risk of stale/orphaned blocks) and uses a transaction selection policy that includes their “accelerator” service. This means they don’t always optimize for the maximum fee revenue per block.”

In case you were interested too ;)
