...anyway...



When P2Pool learns that there's a new block, it mines empty blocks until bitcoind gives it a block template.

The alternative to doing this would be to mine orphaned blocks rather than empty ones. :/

Check the times of the blocks:

Doesn't look like it was immediately after a new block...

No. So, Why was that block empty?  I checked the node that block was mined on and it should have been completely full.  What gives???
