In the grand scheme I think this test or attack is a good thing.  Maybe it will light a fire under some people's asses and get them to realize that we actually do need change, and not just some greedy developers keeping the block size small so they can make a fortune from it. 

I agree with the first part that it should hopefully being about a change to the block size, but how do the devs profit from keeping it low? Everybody knows that it can't stay like this forever so why not act now?

Also, does anyone have the stats or charts on how much extra stress or transactions this test has put onto the blockchain?

even op behaves like some addicted gambling kid, I fully understand, that lot of "average Joe" users are affected and may start being angry because of this non-comfort situation. bitcoin is still in early development phase in this problem will be fixed for sure with bigger blocks, at least I hope so.

i dont know is this matter only because of low fees

yesterday i saw, a fee like 0.002 for a few BTC didnt get confirmed, it was sent on 7/6/2015 (i dont wether it has been confirmed now or not)
i also saw, a fee 0.0001 for a bitcoin transaction got confirmed

mine, sended 5 mbtc to a friend with 0.0001 fee, never get confirmed, it has more than 30 hours now

sigh, this is suck

BC didnt do shit
i guess this is normal to them

Hey guys id like to say thank you for taking this testing that youre doing well beyond what you need to. While im sure the testing is a positive thing for the whole bitcoin community, im also sure all it has done for me so far is fuck me over. Due to this test ive been unable to withdraw my coins from an online casino(transactions for deposits havent confirmed), so instead of taking a win i degened all my chips off continuing to play. Not your fault im sure. you werent the degen pressing the buttons right? Yes thats correct, you werent, but you are the reason i couldnt withdraw. Youre also the reason the very micro amount of btc that i have left is stuck between 2 exchanges. 18 hours and still no confirmations thats fucking awesome. THANKS again.

Instead of having a good week, making a few dollars, and enjoying my relaxation time i am now broke and pissed off. You tech guys should really pat yourselves on the back for being such great people. I hope 1 day i get to return the favor to all of you.

this is no longer a Test it was the first and second time, and a lot of people (including me) found it interesting and wanted to know the results.
but as it continues to happen and most importantly since it is hurting the bitcoin users more than anything else, it is an Attack.

i was wondering where are all the developers right now. i was looking at reddit posts and i couldn't find any comments from anybody important on the matter and what they are doing to prevent this!!

Well, I think it's good news. Let's combat a real attack and lets see how Bitcoin does before it goes mainstream. Let us see how strong the technology is at this point.
If this doesn't convince people we need a bigger blocksize then I have no idea what will.

Thug for life!
At lease the stress testing morons are showing others what happen with the transactions volume hit a mark and the bitcoin system is not ready with a bigger block size, other morons would ratter wait 6 hours for a confirmation or pay higher fees.

Adam Back criticized Andersen’s proposal over a fact that it is creating difference of opinion among the core developers. He thinks the best way for Bitcoin is to operate in a collaborative way rather trying to outsmart and overtake each other.

But the critics have not shut the door on Andresen yet. There’s still an open invitation for anyone with an idea to improve Bitcoin network. And with a combined effort, Bitcoin network will have better chance to survive which is the prime objective.
Wow, seriously? There are people, who have another opinion? What a nightmare. Bitcoin will fail.
Seems like the Bitcoin Core-Dev Team is already a lame duck.

Don't worry. The Bitcoin price will in all likelihood come way down. But then, after everyone sees that you can't break Bitcoin, the price will soar back up higher than ever... maybe even in the $1,000 range.

I'm all in on Mr. T coin.

Look at the fees people pay, it's a lot of 0.0001 per kb, this is why you make it .00010001 or so

Simply put double fees and you will get confirmations quickly  Wink

Still not fair to blame your losses on them.. Ofcourse it sucks, but you don't HAVE to press the bet button... Better to stop betting if you can't handle losing.. Wink

it's a mixture of testing, and revolution, there are many that want xt, and want to increase the TX limit, they are telling you this by "testing" the network, they are actually attacking it brutally

then you have the regular test to see which would be the appropriate number of MB to start with

but i think they can stop know, we get it

My latest transactions aren't even showing up on block explorers after hours, even though I crank the fee slider really high up.

I have a feeling it is a combination of a few things here...

1. People doing tests to see if the block size needs to be increased.
2. People seeing an opportunity to add extra load on the testing that is being done, to disrupt the test results.
3. People wanting to hurt the system, and also jump on the opportunity to over load the network.
4. Higher transaction volumes due to the Greeks and Europe region increased adoption of Bitcoin.

Let's not forget that these tests or attacks are costing them a little fortune.. and it cannot go on forever. Let's just ride this out, and hope for the best.  Wink

Agree. At the first test ( or maybe attack ) i thought it's interesting. But right now it happens every week and in my opinion it's very bad for new comers because they must wait for 12 hours+ until their transactions confirmed with default tx fee Angry. I hope developers fix it ASAP.
