Please kindly stop making Bitcoin Transactions for a day or two...The Blockchain needs to catchup!
This is my cry for help...

Far easier..
Use Segwit, both you and the rest.
Lower fees, doesn't require a genius to operate, and we can still continue using bitcoin, not just hodl them.
And since we're on the subject, contacting the guys in this list and bombarding them with request of deploying segwit would help a lot more:

Time to use cash or altcoins.
1. Miners don't set fees, users do.
2. How can you use "cash" over the internet?
