Not sure why transactions did not go through right away. I sent a transaction right on 16:00GMT but the amount never left the wallet. I think it was the third try before a transaction went through by that time is was 16:13GMT. Weird.
I think there were more transactions in a block than ETH can handle.
Increasing gas may have helped to get a higher priority, but not sure if that makes a difference.
Also many people forgot to increase the gas limit causing the transaction to fail.

Warning! Error encountered during contract execution [Bad instruction] Value: 14 Ether ($1,090.46) - [CANCELLED] Gas Limit: 200000
How it`s possible?
Started from the very beginning!!!!
It was the gas limit. The checkboxes said to use 200,000 in gas, but minimum should have been 300,000.
see:
https://medium.com/@MonolithStudio/definitive-tkn-creation-event-guide-b39096840baf"3. Give your transaction enough gas:
Recommended: 300000 gas limit."
I think that probably screwed a lot of people if they didn't immediately check the transaction ID and saw that the trans failed.
I tried 200k, 300k, 500k but without success. In the end I sent with 200k.
