First coinwallet.eu, then malleability and now a powerful stress test from an unknown source comes in creating a growing backlog of ~360Mb
I didn't know another "test" was on until I read your post. I check the explorers, we no have 28k unconfirmed transaction totaling 310M. The good news is nothing a 0.0002btc/k fee wouldn't solve.
The part I don't understand is why are some people burning their bitcoin to repeat these tests? They haven't proven anything and it's not bringing the network to its knees. Why waste money?
I wasn't aware either. It seems that I wasn't the only one. Yes, many, many stress tests and attack on Bitcoin network this year. Who's doing it is a good question? It seems to me that the opponents of the certain things in the Bitcoin network are behind these tests.
Good thing is that we will eventually learn like this and improve our network. I honestly think that what doesn't kill us makes us stronger in this case and this is exactly what's going on. Bitcoin will prevail in the end everything!
