So why exactly are they not including other transactions in those blocks? Do they solve them faster if they include less TXs or are they only doing this because they want people to add bigger fees?

This isn't right, isn't there a protocol that stops them from doing this?

Miners are free to add whatever transactions they like to their blocks, except the coinbase one which is compulsory.
There is an increased risk of their block being orphaned if it is larger with more transactions.

wow, 29.7k transactions unconfirmed, I never saw higher number, is this new record?

anyway yes, this is exactly, why bitcoin should be decentralized as much as possible. in current scenario of 5 big mining pools controlling majority of total hashrate this was imho more than expected. just consequence of fact, that mining is only for companies..

WTF IS GOING ON?!?!?
There are 26k transactions in queue ... over 70MB mempool and the 3 largest pools are ignoring them entirely.
I hope all these get orphaned.
FUCK YOU CHINESE POOLS, fucking go rot in hell, thanks for ruining BTC along w/ ur spammy attacks.

Those 3 blocks were hashed almost at the same time. They are not empty deliberately.
Basically, when a mining pool sees that a new block has been mined (by receiving the header) it gives all its client miners an empty block template - as a temporary measure - while the pool receives and validates the new block, and constructs a tx filled block template for its miners. This takes time. It takes more time when the mempool is full of spam and it has to filter through junk to get decent fee-paying tx. Sometimes a block is mined before the process of building a decent-sized block is complete. The Chinese pools all want to mine big blocks, including ones >1MB (but can't until something like BIP 100 or 101 goes live).

Lol just noticed the same thing. Over 26k tx unconfirmed until now. Where is the low fees? Isn't this already a move to force users to pay a high fee in order for their transaction to get settled? This is bullshit.

I vote BTC to go to Proof of Stake and stick them all with worthless ass equipment if they won't do their jobs.

Or

Just sit them out and wait for them to go tits up (go broke.)

Its the price of freedom man. Imagine if btc network was hardly used, blocks that had 0 tx's in them would have to be allowed.

For all we know they may even be in cahoots w/ the spammers. I dont know why they would be , it would be destroying their own revenue stream by making btc unuseable for everyone that isnt knowledgeable on how tx fees work.

Also, the only benefit I know if is bandwidth saving maybe, memory saving? not to sure.

...

Beat me to it, GenTarkin! I noticed the same thing, and started a new thread right after you.

This kind of greedy short-term thinking contributed (as far as I can tell) to the problems of a few days ago. Now we are under attack by spammers, the last thing we need is a little extra greed feeding off the system...
