So what's the purpose of this? If there are no new transactions going through then miners will chase down the unconfirmed transactions? Do you think we can clear 288,000 transactions in a mere 24 hours? I suppose it's 48 hours if you account for the time frame from the earliest timezone hitting Christmas Eve to the last timezone that completes that same day. There's are 24 time zones across the globe.

This is the first I've heard of this but I like the idea. Are you the sponsor? How's the promotion of this event going worldwide?
