Stress test will pass, and bitcoin is going to be just fine, but it sure will piss people off like it did in previous instances. I would suggest to everyone to
simply increase tx fee when sending funds while stress testing is active. I hate the fact that you need to do so, because it's quite anoying when you are
sending smaller amounts..
Not everyone reads the latest news. I hate hearing all the complaints of long confirmation waits when these stress tests start. There's always people who haven't heard about them who are relying on fast confirmations of big transfers they were depending on. Stress testers put some people to a great deal of inconvenience.
