How to Monitor the BCH Stress Test and Get Involved

September 1st Marks the First Annual BCH Stress Test Day
On September 1st many BCH fans plan to stress test the network by sending millions of transactions over the course of the day. People have been preparing for the Bitcoin Cash network ‘Stress Test Day’ for weeks now. On August 1st BCH stress testers surpassed 687,000 transactions in one day which shattered the Bitcoin Core (BTC) network’s record by more than 180,000 transactions (tx). On September 1 BCH supporters hope to break the 687K milestone by doing a lot of spending, fanning out hundreds of transactions with stress test tools, and utilizing services like Memo.cash and tipping bots like Tippr.How Can I Participate?
There are a few ways and tools released so people can participate with tomorrow’s stress test. The most popular tool called Scale.cash was created by the Twitter handle @SpendBCH_io which allows anyone to fan out hundreds of transactions with one single command. The Scale.cash tool explains how to use the application tomorrow, and for more insight, the BCH developer and Bitbox creator Gabriel Cardona has written a guide on how to use the tool. Users who are fluent in programming can use other tools available like the Velocity protocol which can spend BCH inputs in chains to simulate cash velocity but the tool requires a full node. Another tool people can use is Memo.cash ‘Txblaster’ bot which can also fan out BCH tips sent through the platform.


How can I watch?
Many people are also going to want to watch the action taking place on the network and there are various data sites that provide unique visuals of transactions being processed in real-time. As far as the mempool (the queue of unconfirmed transactions) people can visualize the network’s unconfirmed transactions using Johoe’s Bitcoin Cash mempool statistics, which visually displays the number and size of the unconfirmed bitcoin transactions in real time. People can also monitor the BCH network tomorrow using data sites like Blockchair, Bitinfocharts, and Bitcoin.com’s daily transactions counter.

BCH Proponents May See Very Large Blocks Processed
September 1 should be a very eventful day for Bitcoin Cash proponents and many people hope to see millions of transactions processed and maybe some extremely large blocks. So far no BCH miner has exceeded block sizes above 8MB in size and that could change tomorrow if miners decide to process much larger blocks to clear all of the transactions.
