Showcasing Polkadot’s Capabilities: The Spammening Test Run
Edit:
excess funds have been returned for both Kusama and Polkadot:
Date: September 2024
- Proponent: Amforc
- Requested KSM: 2860
Short description:
We propose to showcase Polkadot’s high scalability in a real-world setting by submitting enough transactions to completely fill blocks for ca. 40 minutes. To ensure that this proceeds as smoothly as possible on Polkadot and following community feedback, we would like to test it on Kusama first. To conduct this test, we require KSM to pay for the transaction fees plus to temporarily finance some existential deposits (EDs).
Note:
At least 80% of the KSM spent in fees through this proposal will be returned to the treasury (see: https://wiki.polkadot.network/docs/learn-polkadot-opengov-treasury). We will also return any excess KSM remaining after spamming transactions or KSMs used for temporary EDs.
Amforc takes no cut for conducting this experiment. For full disclosure, as Amforc operates validators on Kusama, these validators may occasionally collect part of the transaction fees.

you already submitted on polkadot yesterday

No reason todo the same thing on 2 networks.
First do it on polkadot while you already submitted there and let's see what you can bring as an output of this hussle.
i bet you do not have any contract with a news like cointelegraph or something similar that will post numbers that you will get, 0 reason for this spam without having a contracts with news agency that will broadcast your results....
Hi @KSMfun ,
Thank you for your feedback. We submitted this proposal following today's community inputs (see AAG) to ensure that this proceeds as smoothly as possible on Polkadot. The canary network of Polkadot is the ideal place for this.
You're absolutely right that we do not have contracts with external marketing agencies. That is why we'll work with Distractive to fully leverage this initiative once it is conducted on Polkadot.
Yes, we should try this "stunt" on Kusama first.
