Why would you "stress" test on a moneybomb day for a lousy $10 a pop? What if they do manage to overstress the donation servers? They could cost Dr. Paul a couple hundred thousand dollars.

The way I took it is they want to stress test tomorrow (mini-bomb day) by concentrating traffic to one specific hour (hence the tiny donations -- so more people will do it) in order to simulate the traffic they expect for Dec. 16, so if something is wrong with their setup it is less costly than if they found out about it on the 16th. That doesn't make sense?

No, I don't think it does. This is not how you stress test servers. You wait for a regular day when traffic is low, leave enough servers up to handle regular traffic, take the remaining donation servers offline and hit them with simulated donation traffic.
