I didn't really pay attention the last time. I don't think I made any transactions during the height of the stress test, but I did make dozens of transactions when there was a considerable backlog in the mempool. 0.0002 fee seemed to do the trick. Didn't lose any sleep over it. Not really worried about the next one.

The only thing we should expect is a large amount of noobs coming here complaining that using bitcoin is A. Too costly or B. too long to confirm which both will be true at that time.

I don't see what could go wrong other than that.

Is there any method to contribute in "anti-stress test", like "anti-doss", it really will make us very stressful during the stress test.

i think people are going to start sending less and less transactions,or send with high fees. I'd feel pretty bad if a transaction i sent got stuck in the blockchain. Cry

I think most people are going to be caught up once in this attack, either receiving or sending coins. Once everyone knows there is an attack, they will avoid sending coins in September or pay higher fees. It's not going to create chaos. I am calling this an attack because it is not a test. There is no hypothesis to prove.

How long is it expected to go on? Are we talking about a few days or a couple of weeks? Apologies for being itnorant but didn't read up on it.

Is it right the delayed transactions all go into the mempool? The mempool should rapidly balloon in size if it's full of delayed transactions. How big could it get by the end of September, and could it cause problems for the miners if it gets too big? I don't know much about mining but I remember the last stress test ballooned the mempool's size.

Some people seem to believe it is a storm in a teacup, while others think it could be very disruptive.

Correct.

If you include a sufficient transaction fee on your transactions, it will be "a storm in a teacup". Therefore, those people who generally include a sufficient transaction fee correctly believe that's what it will be.

If you do not include a sufficient transaction fee on your transactions, it will be "very disruptive". Therefore, those people who generally do not include a sufficient transaction fee correctly believe that's what it will be.

There are some wallets that do a good job of calculating an appropriate fee for the conditions on the network. There are others that do not. Clearly those that are using wallets that calculate an appropriate fee will find that it is "a storm in a teacup", and those that are using inadequate wallets will find it to be quite disruptive.

Sure but the reality is also this: It will be impossible for everybody to pay enough fees at the same time to get their transactions included in the next block simply because there isn't enough room for everybody.

There will be delays no matter how smart people are trying to manage the fees.

We will see a lot of users coming to the forums complaining about delayed confirmations, people who know there's a stress test in progress will just pay a higher fee to have their transaction included quickly and life goes on.

People who don't pay tiny transaction fees won't get their transactions included in blocks.

What do people expect to happen if the coinwallet stress tests start on Thursday and continue through September?
