The Bitcoin Association published a statement on empty block miner

10/17 13:14

Bitcoin Association is taking action to contact all relevant exchanges and miners to freeze all block rewards associated with this malicious miner and will be pursuing criminal charges against the entity/entities responsible. There currently exists a majority miner on the Bitcoin SV network producing empty blocks. This miner intentionally obfuscates their coinbase string with a constantly changing string, but is commonly identifiable by the address 1KPSTuJMCMRXrTWHfCwpiRZg1ALbJzh844 where the coinbase rewards are being sent. Alongside trying to be anonymous while mining a global public ledger, we have observed a pattern of malicious activity from this miner that has increased week after week. This miner has been mining BSV since 2020. Prior to June of this year, this miner acted honestly and mined many blocks full of fee-paying transactions. In June of this year re-emerged on the network mining empty blocks alongside other suspicious behavior. They have steadily been increasing their hashrate on the chain for months.
