Only 43 perfectly full 1,000,000 byte Bitcoin blocks have ever been mined. All of them by @f2pool! 👏👏👏👏
Most recent: tradeblock.com/bitcoin/block/…
@james_hilliard Nope, haven’t seen empty blocks from CKPool
@james_hilliard IDK, I’m just noting a behavior change I’m seeing. We’re still seeing the occasional empty block, though…
4) I consider this an improvement because instead of the miners giving us empty blocks, they’re cleaning up the UTXO set.
3) This is probably a “safe” strategy b/c fee rates are so low, miners are nearly assured that they weren’t mined in the parent block.
2) For example
F2Pool mined this block 7s after prev: tradeblock.com/bitcoin/block/…
CKPool mined this block 9s after prev: tradeblock.com/bitcoin/block/…
1) It seems some pools have new logic to mine huge low-fee txns after a new block is detected but before they’ve updated their mempool.
TIL my local credit union has to have its coin counting machines serviced every few weeks to remove random items such as live ammunition.
