I wonder if that's because Steem is so big, or someone DDOSed it with bot accounts. We are the largest and most active forum in the crypto space now, by a long way, judging by web traffic, so both are plausible.

It would be a nice milestone to see that Steemit.com now has a Slashdot effect.

Exactly! Would be nice to get an update by the byteball team as to why the bot is so delayed. Wouldn't surprise me if someone botted the referrals up as many were telling me they were receiving 2-3 transactions when they posted their address onto my post.
