CoinWallet Crowdsources Transactions for its Major Stress Test with a Bitcoin Giveaway

Bitcoiners got to participate firsthand in the latest CoinWallet stress test on the Bitcoin network Thursday. In a collective exercise, Bitcoiners flooded the network with thousands of transactions as they tried to access 200 free bitcoin (worth about $48,000) from free keys and addresses being released into the system by CoinWallet.

In what one commentator could describe only as “[expletive] crazy”, Bitcoiners helped CoinWallet test the bitcoin network, and although there are still 84,000 transactions awaiting confirmation at the time of publishing, the network seems to be in good shape.

The U.K.-based exchange saved itself a lot of work by simply counting on human nature to respond in a predictable fashion and go after the free bitcoin.

They were very sly in getting the people to do their work for them.

See the unconfirmed transactions are now down to just under 30,000 so still going to be a while before all of that is cleared out.
