I'm pleased to announce that the Tokyo bitcoin meetup will be hosting a stress test day party! We're going to put https://txhighway.com/ etc. up on the TVs and buy beers and stuff.
Congratulations @reload for knocking the main memo node offline for almost 30 minutes. Apparently it can't handle transactions with 200+ inputs. Looks like that's a major bug we need to fix. Sorry for the downtime.
