Specific tweak

You should tweak the env.CORE_TRANSACTION_POOL_MAX_PER_SENDER value to fit the number of voter. If not, part of payroll will be considered as spam.

For example, if your delegate is upvoted by 100 wallets, set the value to 110 (100+10%) :

$HOME/ark-zen/bash/activate
./zen configure --max-per-sender 110

Notice that relay have to be restarted then.
