There are many opposing viewpoints about tomorrow’s announced stress test. Some are calling it an attack on the network, however we see it as no different than someone purchasing all of the tickets on a train to have the whole train to themselves. We have spoken to multiple lawyers and the general consensus is that such a test does not violate any laws in the EU or elsewhere.

Tomorrow’s test will not occur as planned. CoinWallet.eu will not be sending a single transaction. Instead, we will be giving away over 200 Bitcoins to the community. Previous tests have involved splitting bitcoins into hundreds of thousands of tiny outputs. Now, as a gift to the community, all of the private keys that contain those outputs will be posted publicly, making the coins free for the taking.

Here are 5 private keys, each containing 0.53918 BTC. Thousands more will be posted tomorrow.

Our stress testing days are officially over. We thank the community for its patience. These tests have spurred much needed discussion on the block size debate.

so the stress test has officially started. huh
shame on you for trying to use other people's greed for your evil purposes by spreading the stress addresses to fill the blockchain with your spam attack.

Why don't you spread the release of the keys out over a few weeks instead?

It is not only that this spamming of the blockchain may have legal implications. Their "service" as they present it on their homepage also violates AML regulations both in Great Britain as in Canada, thus have been reported with some forensic evidence to the authorities.

I suggest Never use Online wallet except Blockchain.info especially the OP and developer be a Newbie User .......

I'm having trouble even loading the unspent outputs for the first address. Blockchain.info just timed out trying to load them. I wonder what it would cost to move these outputs....

Over 45,000 default unspendable outputs....

Well, this should be interesting.  The consolidating of these transactions is definitely filling my mempool.

This +1
Expect huge waves next days, hope i can connect to blockchain.info already got few problems

did btcdrek see that one?  Dont think so.   

Wasn't Gavin saying that a stress test would only prove your point? Spreading the coinns over the course of weeks most likely wouldn't even make an effective stress test.
