Bitcoin : Txhighway was Stress Tested and Upgraded. Thanks Stresstest BCH!
It’s been an exciting day with Stress Test Bitcoin Cash going on. We’re already finding systems and bugs that need fixing. And that includes us at [https://txhighway.com](https://txhighway.com)
​
Last night at the start of Stress Test it became clear many of the bch vs btc visualizers were struggling. Many were using the [blockchain.com](https://blockchain.com) API which unfortunately appeared to be throttling all connections as the stress test began.
​
Tx from [http://scale.cash](http://scale.cash) weren’t being shown in their API despite the tx hitting the mempool. We’re not sure if this was an error on their part or perhaps even political. Either way, it was clear we shouldn’t rely on a third party.
​
After finishing at the Sydney Bitcoin Cash meetup I got to work rewriting the API to use my new favourite tool Bitbox. ([https://developer.bitcoin.com](https://developer.bitcoin.com))
​
It was a late evening but we’re officially back online and the lanes are flooding with our new [scale.cash](https://scale.cash) cars, the always fun BTTF DeLorean. 🔥

Honoured to be a part of the community and to help Bitcoin Cash scale gracefully. I’ve never been more confident that Bitcoin Cash is going to become the permissionless money of the world. Thanks to everyone who supported our quirky little project since Dec 2017! It’s been a riot. This little project single handedly changed both of our lives. 2018 has been a rodeo! Let’s see what the future brings!
