By the way, today is September 10th, at what time and which time zone is stress test starting exactly?

They were cancelled. See elsewhere in this thread.

as bahamapascal quoted those scumbags are using the same strategy they used last time.
they are spreading the private keys of the addresses which they want to use on their spam attack so the number of transactions go even higher by using other people's greed for making a 0.001BTC

i remember last time i saw the same thing on reddit on a post disguised as "i can't send bitcoin from my wallet, please help me" and then he started leaking 100 private keys.

would you share the link please?  That would be cool to make the correlation and determine if they are connected.

ok after some deep searching in /r/bitcoin i finally found it  Cool
it was from a new, unknown account.
here is the post that i was talking about:

I have 1.6356 btcs in the address 1BhXei2ZzdqXQzFWWoDzyDU3kxHXhJ57nQ but I am having trouble spending them. The wallet I use keeps closing when I try to send them. Can someone help me move all of the coins in it to my new address 1Ac1nwLoKMrGxKnohJK6uAaZtou36Ho33o
Here is the private key to the first address

Please don't steal them ok? If you do, think of children and only take a little bit.

and here is the mass leak (funny enough it is in the same post):

another one (with the same title as the recent one on bitcointalk that is moved to games and round now):

and this was not the only person/account on reddit that was spreading these private keys
