thanks for the warning, OP.
I hate these stress tests. it doesn't even have any benefit for anyone.
I wonder how much BTC they will waste trying to create 1 month backlog...

0.0001 tx cost, lets average 200 tx per block=0.02btc a block.
6 blocks an hour, 24 hours =144 blocks.. thus an average 2.88btc a day in fee's.

then 28 days is about 80btc in fee's.

so if they average 400txs a block.. the cost for the month would be 160btc...
or if they average 200txs a block.. but have a 0.0002 tx fee.. that too would be 160btc.

hope that helps you work out the math
