If CoinWallet goes ahead with this, then I'm starting a "boycott CoinWallet" petition.

What cunts.  We have a testnet for a reason.  If there's one thing in life you don't do, it's screw with other people's money.  They may not realize this, but there's many people's livelihoods that currently rely on the Bitcoin financial network being online, including my own.

It's fairly certain that CoinWallet is simply a front for what this really is: an attack. If you go to CoinWallet.eu, the website looks functional, but is not in reality. A few credible bitcointalkers signed up to investigate whether they are a real service serving customers or not, and it appears not.

credible bitcointalkers?  Oxymoron much?  Would they be the same morons advocating crypto terrorist tactics against XT? 

People in glass houses throwing stones....  Clever strategy.  Grin

We must make money worse as a commodity if we wish to make it better as a medium of exchange
The network tries to produce one block per 10 minutes. It does this by automatically adjusting how difficult it is to produce blocks.

CoinWallet are crypto terrorists.
Have they said what transaction fee they will be using for the next spam attack?

If CoinWallet can easily spam the network that way it proves only one thing: the network in its actual form totally sucks. Thanks to the 1 mb blockade.

the last spam proved that the network can easily handle spam and did absolutely not suck. so, let them do whatever. it's their money and time to waste

The next spam will be more aggressive. Not sure the network will handle it as well as it did.

So you're insinuating this is Mike and Gavin trying to push XT?

Probably not. It more likely to be one or some big players that needs bitcoin to scale soon so they can scale their operations so they are performing stress tests behind a shady company to not affect their reputations.

If it is, bigger blocks doesn't really solve the problem. It would just make it cost more money to run the attack (wouldn't be a problem for big corporations or governments).

How will we know when it's happening? Will smaller transactions slow to a halt?

watch this forum and the transactions

when you see lots of unconfirmed transactions and people complaining that their transactions are stuck, then you'll know there is a stress test

My node is currently at 40050.26 KB and 23419 pending transactions, which is very similar to where it was during the previous "test" - fwiw, it hasn't been anywhere near those numbers for at least a few weeks until today.

edit:
tradeblock has about the same amount of transactions

blockchain.info doesn't have the transactions

CoinWallet.eu is shady anonymous individual appeared recently just to advertise himself and XT fork.
Just ignore this crap. Slightly raising mining fees during attack will make his efforts useless.


Hopefully their website gets pwned if they try pwning Bitcoin.

This is fucking redic.

Hurts no one, but the little people.

In fact reading their statement it almost sound like a publicity thing "Our users of course will be unaffected *hahaha*!"

Stop whining. If bitcoin can't handle this, it's because bitcoin sucks in its actual form. Plain and simple.

Only choke hold I see is the XT people trying to fuck shit up on purpose so their "fix" looks good.  Roll Eyes

Not the best way to gain my support anyways.

https://tradeblock.com/bitcoin/

Looks like it has started. There's also a thread about it at r/bitcoin

I'm surprised that no one at r/bitcoin has brought up that the spammer might be profiting from this. If few large mining operators work together, then these spam transactions would be cheap or ever profitable when we are closer to the blocksize limit as less transactions (and fees paid) are needed to saturate the block and people raise their fees to get their transactions through. Also if they want bigger blocks it would probably advance their cause at the same time. But maybe that's not the case yet. Last time I looked we were averaging around 0.5 MB/block

Can we even call transactions with 0.0004+ BTC fee as spam? Anyway, if you pay 0.0005 BTC fee your transaction will get through.

[edit] /r/bitcoin thread title says that spammer is paying 0.0007 BTC/tx
