Hi All,

Quick update this issue with burstcoin and the overwhelmed network continues. poloniex has decided to disable burst deposits and withdrawels

The blockchains are still pretty forked with nodes struggling to sync past certain blocks. and wallets crashing due to running out of memory with the garbage collector.

we can currently see 2 chains overall competing for consensus. when one of these rolls back loads of transactions will also get rolled back to. also exchanges, pools and casinos will see big issues as their sql database wont rollback meaning that coins deposited will stay there and possibly allow for big problems.  

burst-team has released a new wallet version to help sustain the network but this shouldn't replace the current version yet as from word and mouth it can neither be used to mine on or send transactions.
