It is possible to create floating scaffolding by:
building scaffolding up so it is not near any other blocks (or getting rid of nearby blocks)
going to eye-level with the highest scaffolding block
rapidly building scaffolding on the sides of the scaffolding while strafing around the structure (floating scaffolding will start to appear when it should start falling)
A lot of the scaffolding will fall, but by holding the right mouse button, a floating scaffolding is created about once every 15 seconds.
Floating scaffolding will not support the player.

I edited out this part of the description to make it more readable (this description was made before my first comment):
"
Interestingly, placing a block (diamond block for instance) under the floating scaffolding (BY CLICKING ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE SCAFFOLDING) will turn the floating scaffolding into the block (so a player could get unlimited diamonds).
Placing another block (stone) under the 2-block high structure (by clicking on the underside of the placed block) (in this example diamond blocks) will turn the lower block into the new block type (stone).
This pattern continues, where each block place by clicking on the underside of the previous higher block makes the higher block turning into the new block.
If the new block is not placed by clicking the old block's underside, the old block does not convert. If the new block is destroyed and replaced by clicking on the underside of the old block, the process will continue. Also, if the new block is placed under the floating scaffolding without clicking on the underside of the floating scaffolding, the floating scaffolding still does not support the player and won't drop if the block under is removed.
Saving and quitting the world and then opening it again will destroy the floating scaffolding with no drops.
"
You can also click on the sides of the block, but it does not work at all if you use another scaffolding block (or I think if you click on the top); the scaffolding just falls then.

Still affects 1.8, but now if you mine the block, or the block placed on the underside of it, it drops nothing at all.
