【Blockchain Tips】BlockBeats reported that on May 23, an empty block appeared at Bitcoin height 844689. What happened? 🧐In fact, this is an economic strategy of miners. The blocks mined by miners at this height only contain a block reward Coinbase transaction, and no other transactions. This is because if miners want to make full use of time mining in a short period of time (such as this time with only a 12-second interval) and want to avoid conflicts with transactions in the parent block, then they cannot fill transactions into the block and can only try to mine empty blocks.
Although this strategy looks a bit "empty", it is actually a wise move for miners. After all, in the blockchain world, time is money, and every second may affect revenue. Therefore, miners choose to mine empty blocks to maximize their own interests.
What do you think of this strategy of mining empty blocks? Welcome to speak freely in the comment area, let us explore the mysteries of the blockchain world together!
