I hope they get this fixed within the next 5 days or ICN may need delay launch until the chain stabilizes.  
if nobody can even create a contract until it's fixed by another hardfork update this could get serious.

Even lisk is more stable than this... I run and maintain dozen public Lisk api's, and can't get a single Ethereum contract to register after switching to Parity and re-syncing this is scary. Two dozen coin ecosystems are effected by this. By the looks of it, They have the fork hot-fix but are hesitating to publish it. With any luck he listens to Gavin, and pulls the trigger. Fingers crossed.
