Title: Strange blocks found by Bitcoin.com - count is 2. 38kb blocks.

Looks kinda scary 38kb big block, the last one

Seems to me as if it was unclear how they manage to do that?

They have only managed lately to mine 2 blocks.

But at bitcoin.com there is nothing about mining.

i think it is another weird thing that blockchain.info has done or maybe that link is blocks found in past 100-144 blocks(?) it says recent but not by how long!
here is an alternative link: https://www.smartbit.com.au/pool/Bitcoin.com (with 1.2% hashrate finding 1-2 blocks per day is normal)

as for size it is not strange to see blocks like this that are empty or near empty. there are a lot of reasons for it.

edit:
good to watch.
