when do you think would be most effective?
There's a date set,
just checking in to see the right one was chosen.

I think after the November hard fork drama has been settled would be best.
That way everything can be tested all at once. The issues fixed from last stress and upgrades from hardfork.

@TheWildCard, Esthon, Bitcoin is community project. We should ask when they want mega blast. No one wants Nov 15th. Let’s do Dec 1st? We can inform u/jtoomim to collect data.

Agreed. Thank you for bringing more attention to this. As a community we should be making this decision since it affects all of us. Few want November 15 & Most want December 1st.

We could all just blast the hell out of BCH whenever. BUT we need coordination because BCH capacity is HUGE. Hard to stress way we are saying. Very $$$$$

Coordination is key to stress test success. Unless we all work together, we are all just going to be bumbling idiots bumping into one another. BCH community must work together to win

@TheWildCard, why don’t we make the stress test Dec 1st to make everyone happy? 1st of month is common time to voluntarily blast. We’ll just tell community this will be mega test.

And how good is test if no one is analyzing data hence why I asked u/jtoomin to get involved. I’m saying why ask community for funds if you don’t respect their input and help too?

A test of that magnitude is going to cost 56 BCH. Massive. I would love to see that though no doubt. I’m pumped for you guys!

Who says no one is analysing data?

No one said anyone is analyzing data either. Nevertheless, I have informed Jonathan Toomim @ u/jtoomim that ur blasting 11/15. He is Bitcoin miner that analyzed data of first test.

Site says “we are asking the community for funding to finance the professional completion of this system...and conducting test.” Says 0 BCH raised. If you have the funds, go for it

Isn’t November 15th the date for the hard fork/upgrade/possible chain split drama?
Why would the stress test be done on the same date? That’s a terrible idea
2
replied 2227d
NCHAIN isn't going to split. They already said so. If ABC splits, might as well just bury them. The odds are much higher there will be no split.

Ok but the upgrade happens on November 15th correct?
Also we are doing the BCH stress test on the same day???
Am I the only one who thinks that’s a terrible idea?
1
replied 2227d
I agree on that part. I don't think it should be done on the same day.

replied 2227d
Doing the stress test on the same day as the November upgrade is a recipe for disaster. Why can’t we wait until one week after? When the dust has settled & can focus on testing..?

I haven’t heard of a stress test on the same day. Stress tests have been on the first of the month routinely

@TheWildCard said it was on the same day. That’s why I am confused and to be honest disappointed if that’s the case.
Does anyone know what the actual stress test date is?

BitcoinHoarder
replied 2227d
I do not know about that one but you can always blast on the first of any month and find company that I’ll be blasting with you. I blasted Oct 1st a couple million Satoshi

My goal is too keep miners and developers on their feet and ready for tx surges because when the legit volume comes, users won’t pause for them to figure bottlenecks out then.
replied 2227d
I like the idea of stress test on Nov 15. If any BTC miners want to take over the hash, they will be unprepared for the big blocks and will lose money.
replied 2227d
It that's the date new software says it is ready,
it's going to be tested.

So we are doing a BCH stress test on the same day as the “November upgrade” “fork” whatever you want to call it...?
Is that correct?

Bitcoin Cash is my favourite crypto that I hold& I support it wholeheartedly however if stress test and upgrade are done on the same day I will not be contributing any funds to stress.

Ok.

replied 2227d
Doing the stress test on the same day as the November fork/upgrade is foolish. This will end with poor results. The stress test and fork/upgrade should be separate events.
