And don't import the private keys into electrum. The servers are run by volunteers. You don't want to spam their servers by asking them for gigabytes of transaction data. At least send them a bitcoin to their donation address for the stress that you put on their server.
Groan. Now you tell us. :-p Thanks, though, I appreciate the info. Is there a way to "undo" importing into an electrum wallet once it has begun? Not sure if there is a way. Probably the easiest way is to delete the wallet (back it up first!) and then restore the wallet from the seed. This should restore all but the imported private keys. You may lose some settings or labels, though. Editing the wallet by hand (it is a text file) may also work, but it is dangerous... Thanks, after I asked it occurred to me that I could dig up my wallet backup. I'll give that a try first. This worked! Back to square one after only 5-6 hours syncing. :-) I'll sit the rest of this mess out. I think Coinwallet will still face charges, because they can't credibly claim they have no responsibility for what is happening. It's like dumping bushel baskets of coins out on a busy road and trying to claim that the resulting carnage and mayhem is not their fault, just the fault of all the pedestrians and drivers involved. Do you really think the police care about a little network congestion on Bitcoin? |

Do they even exist or is all of this just a well planned thing? Apparently they don't offer any service, no wallet, exchange, nothing. Even their OP's are hidden apparently. So even if the law enforcement would want to do something, I am sure they would just run into the wall. This is some real mess I have to admit guys and all of this is ironic as hell. Now we have our own users clogging the network completely because of their own greed. Bitcoin devs surely have a lot of work to do, all of this needs to be fixed if you are asking me. |

I can't se any problems in transfering bitcoins, just transfered 2BTC without delay and with 0 fee.
Ya its funny all the people screaming the sky is falling. News flash if you are transferring more then 0.001 BTC and your transaction isn't made of a hundred 0.00001 BTC inputs then you will never even notice this "stress test". Just go have a look on blockchain.info all normal transactions are processing fine. "The number of backlogged transactions is currently above 90,000 and climbing, and the size of the “memory pool,” the database that stores them, is shooting past 150MB. It usually sits below 10. On the Bitcointalk forum, where much of today’s action is going down, users are reporting that their Bitcoin clients are crashing when they try to collect the coins." http://motherboard.vice.com/read/great-job-everyone-bitcoiners-are-ddosing-bitcoinLOL all you prove is you can read an article. I repeat normal transactions are going through fine. The mem pool is bigger then normal and may crash some nodes but most likely unless it gets to GB will have little to no effect. Of course bitcoin clients are crashing when they try to collect the coins and import a private key that is linked to thousands of dust transactions! LOL The actually effect on people trying to use the bitcoin network as normal is close to zero. Just watch transactions coming out. I will pick one at random that I consider a "normal" bitcoin transaction and watch it will be confirmed in a short time. https://blockchain.info/tx/0da91e9a02301c7e4783d04ceba11f254f17d4fc1c8cd253dc5c499d18da71e7 |

Its nothing like that. I'm afraid the mess was your own doing. Coinwallet merely published the data - the decision to import those keys was entirely your own. It takes a reasonably sound technical knowledge to do so successfully, so you cant plead ignorance. |

Anti terrorism? Hmmm. I dont think any one outside bitcoin really gives a shit about this to be honest. |

Have anyone been able to send any coins from blockchain.info to another address from the promotion? I've noticed the current balance and the available balance is totally off. It like the current balance is just for showroom...
