the stress test won't have any impact on the price. bitcoin is handling the transactions extremely well.

Usually uncertainty will lead to price drop. So does revealing weaknesses in the system and how easily it gets manipulated. However i may be wrong as seen in the last stress test. Price was up most of the time

How many unconfirmed transactions are there during normal times? Looks like over 30k now...

I'm not sure but I know it's well below 10k. I think it's usually about 2 or 3k. People weren't happy when it went over 10k during the last stress test. This stress test/giveaway is building up more unconfirmed transactions than any of the previous ones, and coinwallet.eu don't even have to pay for servers to do it with  this time. Their strategy of claiming their stress test is a giveaway is working well.

The stress attack is confirming that the bitcoin network is robust. There will be delays when network is under stress. It will not breakdown. So if this attack is going to affect user confidence and the price, I would say the direction should be upward.

The network has done better than some suspected. Maybe the price will go up soon.

The relevant question is how much are regular transactions delayed. I'm not getting any slowdowns so far.

Look inside yourself, and you will see that you are the bubble.

I agree - now it should bounce back on the relief.

btw the stress test didn't go as expected.
they canceled their original plan to create the 1 month backlog and did something else that have too little effect to be called a stress test.

This means we should be ready for another stress test soon as last one didn't go as they planed ? By the way stress test will not effect the price of bitcoin.

well if there's another then the ones who will be doing it might not be coinwallet. the reason they canceled their original plane was because some legal pressure.

about the price... I guess we'll never know for sure.
