Meanwhile, the Android wallet still seems stuck with an overloaded node. Cannot get IOTAs out of the Android wallet so it is a mandatory HODL 
Well, hodl it is =) I sold part of IOT, but hodl-ing half, IOT is way to go from POW, POS and all those greedy bastards!
Just like magic, the payment went through. Sold at double the USD price than intended.
The speculators may drive this to $10; I do not care for it anymore short term.
