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

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?

I agree on that part. I don't think it should be done on the same day.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

We missed our last target,
there were bottlenecks,
we'll be testing all clients this time.
