Starting to go crazy.

wonder if more miners came online just for this test? Very fast block times right now.

Yep, very close to the highest amount of unconfirmed TX (12k) since my node is running (Oct 2014)

Edit: as of 1:39~ two blocks have been found and unconfirmed transactions per bc.i are at ~6,600 and total fees are at 50+ BTC (someone probably made a mistake in generating a transaction).

Where do you see 50+ fees?

50 BTC.. Man, someone must have sent a huge tx fee! Lucky miner that gets that one.

Does anyone know if this has actually started or if this whole thing was a hoax? According to the OP, the test should have started ~20 minutes ago. Blockchain.info is showing ~5300 unconfirmed transactions (which may not be an all inclusive figure), and this is up from ~4000 unconfirmed transactions maybe between 10 and 20 minutes ago, although the fact that no blocks have been found in 30+ minutes is going to cause this number to be somewhat inflated.

We're not really doing this again are we? Will there be another next month, and the month after until the blocksize debate is settled? I'm sure the miners don't mind since last time this happened the fee's per block nearly doubled.

-snip-
At this point the backlog of transactions will be approximately 241 blocks, or 1.67 days. When the average new transactions are factored into the equation, the backlog could drag on for 2-3 days. At this point, questions are raised such as whether or not this will cause a "crash landing." It is impossible to know with certainty, however we are anxiously looking forward to Monday.

Idiots. Bitcoin will certainly survive this, but all you will accomplish by this is

#1 you wasted your own money on fees
#2 you are an asshole for everyone trying to spend coins durring that period.

If you want to test something use the testnet or create a model, no sane person does tests on a live system.

Pretty much every space related part goes through extensive mechanical testing.
Also real cars are crashed to see the result.

Testing on a live system is the best test you can do.
Bring it on, test the shit out of it. Bring it to it's knees

Have anyone experienced any problems sofar or are you scared to submit transactions whilst this is going on? So if I understand this correctly, this experiment is going to cost them $5000 US in transaction fees?

I guess it's only the miners who will be smiling after this is done. Sad

Anyone want to wager on the outcome of this? I still feel, to validate this experiment, they should have done it, without prior notice. The notice influence the normal behaviour of the users in this scenario.

Well, I hope we will see some results soon... or a report of what people experienced whilst this was busy. Huh

I think GMT is UTC+1 right now since it is daylight savings time.

GMT is equivalent to UTC. Only, it's unused in summer because people switch to BST, which is UTC+1.

CMIIW, isn't it just 12:06 GMT (from http://time.is/GMT) at the moment, so it is still roughly an hour to go?

It seems to have started anyway, with full force. It seems to have killed statoshi Sad
