IT WORKED!
I just managed to get some Bitcoin out of one of the recent addresses. =)

I know, I know, I'm helping the stress test by even trying. But I do think the blocksize issue has stagnated for too long. I support the idea of prioritizing a solution to this problem more urgently.

In another note, I see the estimated block delay for free transactions on cointape has shot up from 10 to >100 in the last couple hours. Seems like there is an effect.
