I guess they thought twice after lawyers agreed their antics were CMA violations

Why don't you spread the release of the keys out over a few weeks instead?

With the size of each output being so small, it is not possible to send a high fee transaction with these private keys. Therefore normal transactions will not be hindered.

so the stress test has officially started. huh
shame on you for trying to use other people's greed for your evil purposes by spreading the stress addresses to fill the blockchain with your spam attack.

There are many opposing viewpoints about tomorrow’s announced stress test. Some are calling it an attack on the network, however we see it as no different than someone purchasing all of the tickets on a train to have the whole train to themselves. We have spoken to multiple lawyers and the general consensus is that such a test does not violate any laws in the EU or elsewhere.

Tomorrow’s test will not occur as planned. CoinWallet.eu will not be sending a single transaction. Instead, we will be giving away over 200 Bitcoins to the community. Previous tests have involved splitting bitcoins into hundreds of thousands of tiny outputs. Now, as a gift to the community, all of the private keys that contain those outputs will be posted publicly, making the coins free for the taking.

Here are 5 private keys, each containing 0.53918 BTC. Thousands more will be posted tomorrow.

Our stress testing days are officially over. We thank the community for its patience. These tests have spurred much needed discussion on the block size debate.
