user5486: Could a person hack their miner to simply submit small transaction as soon as a block is found and to submit that as a new block with the 1 transaction to reap the 25 BTC block reward? Say, sending .00001 BTC to myself but doing it 10,000 times between addresses I own with instances of a hacked mining software? For example, I had a 200 GH device with a terribly HUGE config file pointing to 10,000 address:port combinations which are setup from a hosted PC running a listener and submitting the tiny transaction as a pass through back to the 10,000 instances?
I'm sure that 99.999 percent of the tie there is a transaction in the queue that exists waiting to be added onto the next block but what about the .001 percent chance?

user85: Sure, they could, but how would that help them? They'd still have to mine a block to get the reward. And you get the reward if you mine a block no matter what. So what would all this hacking gain them?
