Bitcoin mined an empty block at height 904263 65 minutes ago
BlockBeats News, July 6th, according to mempool data, a miner mined an empty block at Bitcoin height 904263 (meaning the block only contained the block reward Coinbase transaction), with only 29 seconds between this block and the previous one.
Mining an empty block is done by miners for economic reasons, as it is the most rational choice for them. Miners do this to fully utilize this time for mining and avoid any conflicts with transactions included in the parent block. This means that miners cannot include any transactions in the block and can only attempt to mine an empty block.
