No transactions!

Doesn't seem to be anything nefarious, but it definitely caught my attention!

That happens occasionally, usually when the block is found very quickly after another is found.

Remember, the block generation time on average is 10 minutes.  If it is shorter on average, then the difficulty goes up.  Conversely it is true too.
