They have chosen not the best time for testing, many turn away from the coin, here is a sample of spam transactions - https://blockchain.info/tx/ce9abd5e1128631893b06e5bf705832cad6c103135463bddaa572c869fd4b11c

I guess if there is any problem this time, it will be only XT clients, since they eagerly want to prove that a block size increase is necessary  

For rest of the nodes, just add one line in bitcoin.conf

minrelaytxfee=0.00011

This will drop all the spaming transactions, of course also those transactions that attach any fee less than this threshold. But the benefit is that the mempool will remain small. Last time I tried this, the mempool did not get over 2MB at all, while other nodes had a mempool size over 100MB

I'm not against larger blocks, I just don't agree with this kind of action particularly. If they know it's going to cause problems - which they've stated they do - then it's not a test then, is it. In which case, what's the point/benefit?

But with all due respect.
Bitcoin doesn't give a fuck about your opinion.
It doesn't need your agreement.

It is not a bug, it is a feature.

The benefit is to see if this plane can fly while shooting rockets at it and placing bombs aboard.
Bitcoin only has value if it survives it all.
Personally I can't get enough of those "attacks".
