They also FINALLY changed the mining icon from a hammer to a pick axe.
hahaha right, maybe they went to visit a real mine to see how is done
What's a stale block?
When multiple blocks are mined at nearly the same time, only one is added to the main chain while the others become stale blocks.

Makes sense that stale blocks have more fees. Incentives!
