But.... if bitfury fill their blocks with these fake, low fee tx's, other's in the mempool can't get included.
Your the miner. What is the point of these thousands of tx's from this address?

Maybe they are testing their own LN effects. What gets me is that these transactions are created at the exact same time of the block that they are included in. That is not normal network propagation.

That get's me too.
Are they broadcast at the same time as the block?
Do they even hit the mempool?

Some bitfury blocks are 1/3 full of this address's tx's paying 0.0001btc fee each to send zero bitcoins.

over 2950 tx's included in bitfury blocks last 24 hour, all sending zero bitcoin. That is more than a full block. (1.147550 mb)
