I just returned to EMC becuause of the problems over at Ozcoin.
I was curious about block
232352 because it doesn't have as many confirmations as blocks after it. I don't know why that is true but while looking at the block I noticed that block
232352 has no transactions involving Satoshidice. That is odd because almost half a all bitcoin transactions are to or from Satoshidice. So it seems to me that EMC intentionally rejects all Satoshidice transactions. Is that true? What advantage does bring to the pool?
Here are three other EMC solved blocks, none of which have any Satoshidice transactions.
231290,
231742,
232237.
In contrast here are three blocks solved by Slush:
232503,
232379,
232197. A quick glance shows that about half of those transaction are to or from Satoshidice. (Every Satoshidice address has the word "dice" in it.) I also looked at an Ozcoin block and it had hundreds of Satoshidice transactions too.
Those three EMC blocks average 90 transaction each whereas those three Slush blocks average 436 transaction.
