I'll try it too but if it was going to work it would have by now.

I have created a transaction - can everyone go to their debug console and enter this (providing you know what you are doing)
sendrawtransaction 010000002b93ad6001d253fdd196ab612f54839d1926d6b97ee4c1137acb61c6507e763a001bf0b9ff01000000484730440220308b405752b34b90a9231b677373227007575dd5d8e0aac4bf6bf739595c10e702205f94774bd864db14d3d077b9e4d4de8a6bd1a56596067a02f1ac08ce0d151dd801ffffffff0159808e00000000001976a9145d7beb10318f4b9977209241cbd4cf1e278b83f388ac00000000
If we're sending the same transaction to the mempool, then it's possible that the network will kick start (or not - I'm open to suggestions)
Just tried it.
