Bitcoin Network Stress Test Could Occur Next Week

The controversial group behind several bitcoin 'stress tests' has confirmed it will push ahead with its biggest experiment to date.

Speaking to CoinDesk, CoinWallet COO James Wilson said the test – which could reportedly cause a 30-day backlog of transactions – would be executed at 10am Thursday (GMT) next week.

"The mysterious group, which sees its work as a drastic but necessary demonstration of Bitcoin XT's need, has been criticised by some users for "bullying" a live network worth several billion dollars."

So you support Bitcoin XT and to show your support, you launch a fake test to force people to accept it too? This must tell us a lot about this service. I still think there is something else behind this company and it would be exposed very soon.

Most of the companies supporting Bitcoin XT is wallet service providers, so there must be something behind that?

The whole things has become rather strange. Do we really need such a demonstration to prove that a solution is needed for block size?
