It's important to understand the motivations before acting— otherwise you'll fail to do anything useful. E.g. if they're empty because some miners want to drive up fees or fight against the rapidly increasing blockchain size there isn't much you can do there. If they're empty because they're mined by botnets which don't have a local copy of the chain in order to load their victims less (and avoid central pooling) then you want something like https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=68396.0 If they're produced by people who think they gain a mining speed advantage by not including them then then we need education— dropping their blocks won't help much: we've seen miners go a month with 100% of their blocks being orphaned. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
