I don't understand any of the questions you're asking. 1) What empty space? 2) 'bloody hell reachmen'? 3) You're talking about Sidechain Elements, right?

1) each block got empty space. I mean block close every something like 10mins as for now it's about 60% of 1MB so the 40% is still empty space that could also contain transactions? 2) let's say that men that always try to centralize system for control it. 3) yes.

As @NateEldredge already mentioned, each question post should only ask about one topic. I will put your question on hold and suggest that you edit this post to reduce it to one topic, then post the other questions as separate posts. When this question has been improved, please flag it for reopening.
