I was wondering what the best way to stress test XCP was? How can we make sure that it will never break?  
More specifically, can we create an intense stress test that XCP passes, but competitors will have a hard time passing.  
  
  
That would be the holy grail of XCP marketing.

[font=arial][size=small]Perhaps, the formal test plan of Mastercoin can give us an idea:[/size][/font]

We need to execute all those tests + some additional stress tests to have a quality product.   
  
We also need to setup a bug database, to tracks bugs and status more effectively. Perhaps we could encourage all XCP holders to particpate in the testing and file bugs.
