Not amazing, there are heaps of threads about this already. It's a poor optimisation used by crappy written pool software on block change to send out work without transactions till it can get its act together to create work that includes transactions. The fact that it's KnC's custom mine that does such a shortcut does not surprise me in the slightest.

Happens all the time.

Nothing new.  Nothing interesting.

I see you have a sig ad, so I assume you created this post just to boost your post count for the ad campaign.  I'll just add you to my ignore list.

I saw it first time and i wanted to learn if anybody know another block like this.
So, i don't care what do you think or who are you ;)

As DannyHamilton stated, it happens all the time.  Usually it's poorly written pool code trying to compensate for itself.  AntPool is notorious for creating empty blocks.

Okay, possible.
But he shouldn't be rude.

Actually it's not one tx block.
We may say "zero tx" block for that. Why is that?
Because it doesn't contain any tx which was created before the block. It didn't include any tx, it cointains only generated coins.
