They threatened it for early september. I appreciate the warning. I got caught with my pants down during a few of their "stress tests" this summer when I wasn't paying attention to fees. One time a transaction took almost 3 days. Sad

you are aware of that you can resend the same transaction with fees again immediately?

I may write code in exchange for bitcoins.

I wasn't sure exactly when it started but thanks OP, I am now aware & will be sure to include a bigger fee when I send bitcoins now. I can't believe it's a month in duration, ridiculous really. This is going to annoy, confuse & cause a lot of problems.

So nice of them to experiment slowing all other people transactions down Roll Eyes

I'll never understand things like this. They convince themselves that they are doing this for the public good or something?

Looks like spam transaction have 0.0001 BTC fee so I would definitely put a bigger fee.
An example of a spam transaction: https://blockchain.info/tx/e94a0da26e9c580cc0282a2efa5ac4dcd5f79473adc3a58ab1a002dac3303698
However keep in mind that CoinWallet may increase this fee at any time. Apparently they will be spending 150 BTC in this "experiment".

As announced CoinWallet has started spamming the blockchain.
The backlog of unconfirmed transactions is know at 10 MB (ca 2 hours) and growing.
To get your transactions confirmed in a decent amount of time make sure to include an
appropriate fee.
CoinWallet disclosed target is to create a 1 month (720 hours) backlog.

So a 1 month wait for 1 confirmation by the time they are done?

Or if we add a decent fee we should be ok?
