Bitcoin : Bitcoin Cash Stress Test *MEGATHREAD*
This thread can be used to share updates, resources, questions and everything else related to the Bitcoin Cash stress test commencing today, 9/1/2018.
#WHAT IS THE STRESS TEST?
“Stress Test day is a community initiative to test Bitcoin Cash and see how it scales and handles large blocks (by filling them with a lot of txns).” -u/BitcoinXio
The goal is to submit as many transactions as possible to the Bitcoin Cash network to test how it handles high load, identify points of failure, and ready the network for global commerce at scale.

#HOW DO I PARTICIPATE?
Your participation makes the stress test possible! Transactions can be submitted to the Bitcoin Cash network in many ways including sending Bitcoin Cash to yourself or others, using online tip bots, using memo.cash, etc.
Perhaps the easiest way to participate in the stress test is to use the dedicated tool which can create thousands of transactions: https://www.scale.cash/

#UPDATES
As expected numerous services are under heavy load including the visualization tools, block explorers, and third party APIs. Please share updates as they come in!
I’m hoping we see a 32MB block today and this becomes a semi-regular test.
