- latchkey 5mo agoCorrect, one can mine empty blocks, but in practice, dumb idea. Most people mine with a pool. The pool decides what goes into a block. Even at scale. The point is that it smoothes out the reward cycle. For ETH, we mined with a pool that dual mined ETH+ZIL, which increased our overall rewards.
