Bitcoin payouts delayed

Today's bitcoin payouts may end up delayed by a few hours. We ran out of bitcoins due to incredibly poor luck. Chris has to import a paper wallet with more bitcoins, but the Bitcoin Core client scans the entire blockchain after importprivkey is called, because it needs to determine what inputs are available for the next transaction.

This process has been ongoing for about 12 hours. As soon as the scanning is complete, we'll be able to send the money from the paper wallet to our hot wallet and issue the payouts. If someone knows a command to call to find how far along the scanning is, feel free to post it and we'll tell people what the progress level is.
