When I use a BCH block explorer, I don't understand what I see.
I need some help to guide me on what I believe to see.
I think I see a pattern.
The patterns start with very short block times. There are +10, sometimes 20, blocks per Hr. (for example 642211 - 642220)
The next step will be 3, maybe 4 blocks per Hr.
And the last step will be, you have 1 to 2 block per Hr. Sometimes it can take more than 1 Hr for the next block.
After some time, the circle will start again with a massive number of blocks per Hr.
My first question is, is this pattern correct, and why does this happen?
I aspected a more regular number of distributed blocks per Hr.
My second question is about a block with 1 transaction. (For example block 642226.)
This block has 0 inputs and 1 output.
Do I understand correctly that this block gives the block reward of 6.25 BCH to the miner, and don't validate transactions? That the miner "mines" an empty block?
If yes, why the miner can have a block reward for an empty block? Is this abusing the system?
