      nBlockMinSize = std::min(nBlockMaxSize, nBlockMinSize);
 
     unsigned int COUNT_SPEND_ZC_TX = 0;
-    unsigned int MAX_SPEND_ZC_TX_PER_BLOCK = 1;
+    unsigned int MAX_SPEND_ZC_TX_PER_BLOCK = 0;
 
     // Collect memory pool transactions into the block
     int64 nFees = 0;

THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULDN"t USE "MAGIC NUMBERS".

#DEFINE ZERO 0
#DEFINE ONE 1

WOULD HAVE FIXED THIS
