Bitcoin mined a "half-empty" block at height 855363 28 minutes ago

BlockBeats news, on August 4, according to mempool data, miners mined a half-empty block at Bitcoin height 855363, which was only 75 seconds away from the previous block height.

The founder of mempool @mononautical posted on social media that "all transactions in this half-empty block were broadcast in the last minute or so."

Therefore, this block may have been mined by a brand new node and accidentally put into production without synchronizing the memory pool.

The last time a similar incident occurred was at block height 827527, about six months ago."
