@Kano,

Thank you for pointing these out.  Will look into it!

Just realized this was a known issue since December of 2014.  Will address this to the engineers again.

In short
That means that Antpool is buggy
How can that happen
1. On purpose
2. Because it is buggy
3. 1 and 2  

They refuse to relay transactions that is all

So does that mean that there is a possibility that they are keeping Tx fees for themselves?

[hurricandave]

No, these particular blocks are awarded 25BTC only, they do not include any transactions, therefore, no transaction fees are paid to the block.

Back in 2013 a moron by the name of Luke-Jr ran a stupid pool by the name of Eligius, with crappy pool software called eloipool written in python, and the pool had lots of problem and lots of orphans.

The other major pools didn't.

So the moron decided to make changes that are bad for bitcoin to his crappy pool software to reduce the orphans.
Clearly his programming skills are crap because:
Those changes included (among others):
1) Sending out empty blocks to miners after network block changes ... then later sending out proper work with transactions
2) Reduce his pool limits to only accept 32 transaction per block ... for 5 months.

That first change still exists today in that pool.

I can only guess that the developers at Bitmain followed that example 1) above.

CKPool running on my pool (the part of the pool that -ck wrote - the pool mining engine) doesn't do this.
We always send out transactions with work unless bitcoind has none
(which is probably never - or on the VERY rare occasion for a few seconds when you start bitcoind - which again we rarely ever stop bitcoind)

Thus endeth the factual lesson

[Wings1987]

Just about a week straight of horrible luck. This is brutal.

[dog1965]

Yea, its working now only because they took that CloudFlare shit off its about time !


 

[loshia]

Yea, its working now only because they took that CloudFlare shit off its about time !

Or just because D D 4 B C realized that he will not earn any money from Chinese brothers
And all further D D 4 B C ransom efforts will lead to direct money loss for him
How about it D D 4 B C?

Not the case I think. If I was in his shoes and I was paid I would come for more....that is how blackmailing works
