Nice thread, agree with the sentiments of the OP. If someone is pretending to test the network by attacking it, they're attacking it.
However, still glad bitcoin has held up so well. While increased transaction times and slightly higher fees are a pain, on balance, this has done nothing to question my faith in bitcoin.

Getting the same error right now.
Another stress test, or just crap software this time?

All these 1 transaction block miners can starve for all I care.
Sorry for your loss man, unfortunately nothing can be done about this, Bitcoin is not a perfect system and the fact that everyone is bound to the network means that anyone could be potentially affected by even a slight modification to the system. There really isn't any point in taking it out on the decision makers, someone's gotta do the dirty job right?

That 13 cents (fee) is an incentive.......

MmmK. This reinforces, IMO, the idea of either raising the miner's fee to something (perhaps BTC0.0002 or BTC0.0001) and/or minimum transactions of BTC0.001 or BTC0.0005.

0.13$ fee is nothing compared to all other payment processors
solidrustpay has like $1.5 fee at least legendary

Don't worry. The Bitcoin price will in all likelihood come way down. But then, after everyone sees that you can't break Bitcoin, the price will soar back up higher than ever... maybe even in the $1,000 range.
I'm still optimistic that is what will happen the alternative is that people hang out in Litecoin for a while at least that is what seems to be occurring at present nearing $10 USD already.

And these attacks may actually last months or years. But that is not the problem, Bitcoin handles it pretty well, all of my transactions get confirmed normally without any problem.
My guess is that OP is victim of poor wallet implementation (from the Casino he is using) that doesn't pay the correct fee (per KB). The attack only woke up a problem that has been always sleeping.
Complain to the Casino and/or switch to a Casino with a correct fee management wallet.

Bitcoin is being challenged. Its a good thing.
Coblee, the Litecoin developer, has the answer with an elegant and simple fix...
"CT: Can you explain why Litecoin is ‘immune’ to the spam attack?
CL: The fix implemented in Litecoin is just to charge the sender a fee for each tiny output he creates. For example, in this specific attack, the sender is charged one fee for sending to 34 tiny outputs of 0.00001 BTC. With the fix, that fee would be 34 times as much. So it would cost the attacker a lot more to perform the spam attack. The concept is fairly simple: the sender should pay for each tiny output he/she creates."

Nobody has attacked Litecoin with spam yet, so that's only an untested theoretical solution. Litecoin's transaction fees must be less than Bitcoin's so it might be economically viable to spam attack Litecoin. If that solution was used in Bitcoin it would make it more expensive to spam attack, but anyone with enough money could still attack it.
We need bitcoinXT ASAP.
BitcoinXT exists. You may run it if you think it has better spam filtering. Coblee, the Litecoin developer, has the answer with an elegant and simple fix...

Sad to hear that, you loose few BTC while they are into under testing the Blockchain, it happens man, t is matter of your luck. Try next time you will win more than what you had expected once they sort out the patches required for vulnerable security holes.
This is why bitcoin is better than the FIAT currencies 
, I hope that in the next few week someone will find a good and valid solution to this problem (I'm not talking about the increase of the size block).

This is definitely an attack because its been running for so long.
I thought they had finally stopped spamming today because there were about 15k unconfirmed transactions, then it went down to 12k unconfirmed. However, it's now back up to 15k unconfirmed.
Is the spam attack still ongoing? Yesterday it went to over 20k unconfirmed transactions, so 15k is a bit of an improvement.
I remember when everyone was fellating Andreas about how Bitcoin was "anti-fragile"
It is not a test...
