I found 819556 had 37 to about 2 hours ago. It was probably a small pool that screwed up their tx selection logic. If it was the big pools playing games to clog the mempool and extract fees they would be doing it for a bunch of their blocks in a row. The miner did not embed an identifier so it it hard to say for sure.

Yeah, I saw that 37 block also. It’s just wild to me to see. I don’t look very often but usually I see 1000 to 3000 transactions
Is it possible a block gets found/solved super fast and only the 15 transactions went through before found/solved?

Yup didn't think to look. Block was 8 seconds before it. They didn't have time for block assembly.

Sort of counter intuitive, huh? You'd think with the insane hash power and difficulty you wouldn't see blocks go in a few seconds anymore or blocks take an hour but still happens with the same regularity. It is all relative. Yeah it's exponentially harder to find the block but also exponentiall

It’s all neat stuff to me.
I guess if it’s math and computational then you can just get it right on your first guess… or second, or third try, but very quickly. Won’t happen very often I’m sure but can definitely still happen periodically depending on what’s going on in the network at that time.
