Any transactions it doesn&#39;t have to verify are from the&#xA;pool, of course :)&#xA;&#xA;On Thu, May 24, 2012 at 7:33 PM, Jeff Garzik &lt;jgarzik at exmulti.com&gt; wrote:&#xA;&#xA;&gt; There appears to be some non-trivial mining power devoted to mining&#xA;&gt; empty blocks.  Even with satoshi&#39;s key observation -- hash a fixed&#xA;&gt; 80-byte header, not the entire block -- some miners still find it&#xA;&gt; easier to mine empty blocks, rather than watch the network for new&#xA;&gt; transactions.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; Therefore I was wondering what people thought about a client&#xA;&gt; implementation change:&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;     - Do not store or relay empty blocks, if time since last block &lt; X&#xA;&gt;       (where X = 60 minutes, perhaps)&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; or even stronger,&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;     - Ensure latest block includes at least X percent of mempool&#xA;&gt; unconfirmed TXs&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; The former is easier to implement, though there is the danger that&#xA;&gt; no-TX miners simply include a statically generated transaction or two.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; The latter might be considered problematic, as it might refuse to&#xA;&gt; relay quickly found blocks.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; Comments?  It wouldn&#39;t be a problem if these no-TX blocks were not&#xA;&gt; already getting frequent (1 in 20).&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; --&#xA;&gt; Jeff Garzik&#xA;&gt; exMULTI, Inc.&#xA;&gt; jgarzik at exmulti.com&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; ------------------------------------------------------------------------------&#xA;&gt; Live Security Virtual Conference&#xA;&gt; Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today&#39;s security and&#xA;&gt; threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
