Please contact any miner or pool operator you know and make sure their nodes are updated.

During the last few hours, our network faced a dust attack. This attack exploits the low fees to spam the UTXO set. In the short term, a dust attack is mostly an annoyance, but in the long term it increases the storage requirements irrecoverably. 

To counter the attack, @OriNewman and myself put together a measure to greatly increase its cost (from a few cents to more than 10,000$ a day in terms of miner fees). The fees will not increase for typical transactions, except in an uncommon scenario we describe below.
We stress that this is not a fork, blocks created by patched (resp. unpatched) nodes are still considered valid by unpatched (resp. patched) nodes: the changes are only to the transaction gossip rules and block creation rules.
Consequentially, the effectiveness of the measure is directly proportional to the fraction of miners (in terms of hashrate) who updated their nodes. However, non mining nodes should also update to avoid propagating adversarial transactions.

It has been about four hours since the patch was released, and already about 30% of the miners updated the nodes. This is good progress, but we can do better. The sooner we get mining nodes to update their nodes, the better.

For more information on exactly what this patch does, please see the Discord announcement:
