It's poll time!

As a shareholder I would like to see a question about the network connectivity of the node. Specifically is there is a plan to address the number of stales and the low number of transactions in the blocks mined by AM. This would help increase shareholder value (more blocks, more transactions) and also address a concern that the community has about AM. It would also increase confirmation time and thus make the network better overall. Thanks!

OFFICIAL UPDATE

The topic of the orphaned blocks and low tx fees in AM blocks was recently addressed by the board.

Friedcat is aware of the problem and Bitfountain is working to solve it. In the meantime, it is a negligible but necessary loss.

It is not as simple as it might seem. The problem comes from peering and poor bandwidth/internet connectivity in China and software optimizations used to deal with the situation. Companies like Amazon(.cn) also suffer from these problems in China. It isn't necessarily a problem caused by the Great Firewall itself.

Thank you,
