Bitcoin Dug Out Empty Block at Height 868664 2 Hours Ago
On November 3, according to mempool data, miners mined an empty block (i.e., a block containing only one transaction with the block reward Coinbase) at Bitcoin Height 868664, just 42 seconds after the last block height.
Miners pack empty blocks for financial reasons, and it's the smartest thing for miners to do. In order to fully utilize this time to mine and avoid conflicts with transactions packed in the parent block, miners cannot fill the block with transactions, which means they can only attempt to mine empty blocks.
