They haven't.
They have a bit of headstart with this backlog. They must have started the test by now. Let's see if everything works out this time
This will certainly delay normal transactions. Results from last test show that 0.0001BTC per kb transaction on average took 9 blocks (~90 minutes) to confirm.
Really? I went on with business as usual during your last pointless DoS attempt by spam, using my standard fee of 0.00002 BTC/kB, one fifth of yours. All my transactions confirmed with no delays. This is of course normal non-spammy transactions with normal sized outputs using oldish inputs, so I guess the priority of my transactions were a few orders of magnitude above your spam. This is true for most non-spammy transactions. Have a closer look at the delayed transactions. It is probably just other spam delayed by your spam. But please spammers, empty your pockets before your gangrene eats the rest of your brains as well. The miners deserve their fees.
Ah you're right. No block has been found for almost 40 minutes now.

CET is GMT+2 instead.
It is 12:35 GMT (FYR: http://time.is/GMT) at this moment, so the test will start in 25 minute.
number of unconfirmed transactions is growing
2 hours and 8 minutes to go.

Cool, I enjoyed the last test, even though it failed.. By announcing, less people get trapped right before the test by sending with too low a fee.
Nothing to see here people, they've faked it again.
I really hope that this isn't just some attention grabbing false claim. I'm looking forward to seeing this, and I hope that you are able to actually keep up the volume and size (in bytes) of transactions that you say you are planning.
Can't wait.. 
Everybody fasten your seat belts and get your popcorn yeeeaaahhhh
Looking forward to the results. Bring it coinwallet.eu!
I am just gonna ask why again?

Where did you get this graph from?
Could you show it in a bigger time frame? It doesn't show, if such spikes are unusual.
Looking at this graph, I don't see anything unusual for the time of the stress test.:
https://blockchain.info/charts/transaction-fees
but that, isn't a good graph either.
I'd really love a site with better statistics, if somebody knows any.
I made it using data from http://btc.blockr.io/ with the help of google sheets https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LmBk8_5BqFVvMDLJ2EdhUvkyA_Nea4ZFKCE4jA-VsuA/edit?usp=sharingCould you show it in a bigger time frame? It doesn't show, if such spikes are unusual.

Would be easy to make your own table and calculate to verify.
I was hoping for a more sophisticated tool. It is really a pain in the ass, to make a depper analysis this way.
Maybe I can hack something together. Still if somebody knows a better tool, that is already written, I would be very thankful for that.
I think the community would be more open to the test if you explicitly stated in your announcements that this won't delay transactions which use higher fees, so people won't worry about whether they can send Bitcoin during the test.
I would be more open to the test, if in addition to announcing that higher fees are necessary he would reimburse those increased fees to everyone affected.
Imho the only reasons for doing another meaningless "stress test" on the public Bitcoin blockchain (and not on testnet) are attracting public attention for own services offered and/or manipulating market prices. Ask yourselves - why is he announcing the stress test at all? Doesn't that distort the results by people adapting in advance to increased transaction fees?
ya.ya.yo!

For quick confirmations a higher fee is the option.
Fair enough, I look forward to the results. Maybe you should edit your conclusions since right now it sounds like you're saying transactions will be delayed for over 200 blocks, which isnt true for most transactions. Will be business as usual for anyone that sends with a higher fee.
High fee transaction will be business as usual for sure.
Is pretty interesting to watch the blockhain action when the stress test begins and has is in progress, I'll be watching this one from the beginning.
