Hi,

TL;DR: Bitcoin payments are broken, hopefully fixed today or
tomorrow. If you need to make a payment that way please wait a
little bit. If your service will be terminated for non-payment
please contact support for an extension until it's fixed.

More detail:

It seems that our bitcoind is crashing, I think because I made the
mistake of running it as 32-bit (see repeated threads about the
death of 32-bit) and it now needs to allocate more memory than a
32-bit process can.

I could give it a 64-bit kernel but the bitcoind itself would still
be 32-bit so I'd have to recompile it as well. I'm instead going to
rebuild that host.

Cheers,
Andy
