NO SERVICE IS RELIABLE! Blockchain.info is down :(

+21M

yep looks that way to me to
http://www.isitdownrightnow.com/blockchain.info.html

but when you think about it im surprised it dosnt happen more often they must have a fair amount of bandwidth going in and out of that poor server

"Moving servers" it says. Probably back soon!

about to be a not so poor server

Nope, last time that page was there, the answer was something like this: "that's a old page I forgot to change, the server was changed long ago."
I guess we're still seeing the old page.

Sometimes computers are funny like old people; they pull things out of a cache of random memories when they get confused, and they smell.  Don't be the worries. It's only Smellz...

Not to sound like a newbie, but if I were to be expecting a payment to one of my addresses I have with Blockchain, it would still go through right?

Yes, you should also use the backup option in case they disappear for real.

Good...  Definitely already done. I learned along time ago to backup everything.

still down  :(

Has anyone heard any updates recently?

Part of me is completely horrified about the infrastructure behind Bitcoin:

• blockchain.info running on Mac Minis,
• the current technical problems with MtGox trading APIs (probably due to scaling issues or maybe it's all written in shonky PHP),
• matching engines for trading written in JavaScript (bitfloor),
• developers of the reference Bitcoin implementation reluctant to provide a formal specification because of all the subtle bugs hidden away in the implementation that could introduce a hard fork in the blockchain.

Then another part of me thinks this is good: the barrier to entry is so low that any goofball who's made a GeoCities page can be part of an open, decentralised, digital currency.

Website is completely down now. No landing page. Maybe the problem is nearly fixed

I'ts back to normal now.
