You have probably got the news about the new "satoshi nakamoto" miner on bch. They gained a 33% of the hash in just a few days. But that's not the weirdest part. Look at the timing of their blocks. As soon as someone finds a block they pump out a new block in under a minute. See pic related. I have observed it for a few hours and it happenes too often to be random. It's like they always have a solved hash puzle on hand just waiting for the the next block to build upon. What's going on?
Something very strange is happening on BCH

But the hash of the previous block is part of the new block for which you have to find a valid nonce, how could you prepare that beforehand?

I know. But Craig in his recently interview talked about how the double hashing technique in bitcoin was there from the start to allow the mining operation to be split into several seperate parts. Maybe he has found some way in which he can do the main part of the mining before he has the newest block? Something is going on though

It's coindance you newfag
Samuel Ross
it sounds like bullshit unless sha256 is broken to a great degree you need as much time to find a new empty block prepared beforehand as you would the first block

This is not how it works. You can't just compute part of the final hash and then add the missing information and compute the rest.
The final outcome which is a combination of transactions in the current block, hash of the last block and a nonce has to be valid, changing either part because you are waiting for some information (like the last block's hash) results in an entirely different hashsum of the current block, rendering an eventual already found valid nonce invalid.
