Without a node with modified code how does one get around to doing what you're doing in an automated way?
Some kind of pseudo-node. No code from any other client.
Understood, thank you.
Also, a follow up question, what are your main reasons behind this?
Are you doing this to prove a point, like with the transaction spam attacks?
Just because I am able. Isn't it funny? I have not any other reason today. But... I have some ideas for future.
Why did Satoshi invent bitcoin? I really think he had the same reason - because he was able to do it.
Although the groundwork and the ideas that are the basis to Bitcoin were laid out throughout the years, Bitcoin is still quite innovative, so I'm not sure Satoshi started Bitcoin knowing he could develop it, finish it and release it.
Besides this, Satoshi seems to have had quite a few reasons to develop Bitcoin such as fleeing from banks, creating a trustless system, etc.
Despite this, you are obviously free to do something for no reason in particular, but I don't think you'll let this opportunity escape and you'll eventually put this "stress test" in use to prove a point (I think you're already proving it, unintentionally or not)
