Just added this new aqua look!
Nice and not as sharp on the eyes I think. ;D

Do you like it too?
I use them as a wallet so am on there countless amount of hours and their original theme was hurting my eyes. This is a more softer color to use and not so hard on the eyes. And the curves on the icons are quite noticable.
It must of just been implemented because I was just on there less than 20 minutes ago.  :D
Quite fast and seemless upgrade.  :o
Congratulations on a issue free upgrade blockchain.info and without any downtime at all! ;D

I just have some issues when trying to find everything bitcoin related, like in their main page I can't find new mined blocks, unconfirmed transactions etc. also their webGL globe shows inaccurate data about full nodes like not showing my full node or the ones that I know about running in my country.

It's basically a simplified version of the old Blockchain. I liked the old theme, it was "modern-ish" and kinda happy color. Now u can't see transactions etc. on the homepage. I guess it's pretty cool though, that it has picked up some functions from coinmarketcap to the front page, such as market cap, current price and some graphs.

However, I think the update improved the design of the wallet section. The one thing I've never liked about Blockchain wallet, is the flashing ball in the "Buy Bitcoin" section. I don't want to buy bitcoin from their partner, how can I turn the flashing ball off?

I do notice it also and all of the users of blockchain.info i do really like the new color or theme and same as you said its cool into my eyes compared on the previous one and also its my favorite color and it seems ill open my blockchain wallet on this change.lol

Yea, they should make the interface much more customizable for the users. I also jump between wallets and block explorers are there are different

features I prefer with each of them. I would have liked to add only the options I like from each of them and dump the rest. I am not one for a lot

of clutter and prefer a open interface.  ;D ....looks Good.

Previous was better like for me.  :(

This new interface looks dull and lifeless, less information than before just what others saying above, there's no link where do the list of unconfirmed transactions, some bitcoin news. etc. Though I like the color combination of the site but looks dull as what I said earlier.

I have mix opinion on this new layout. Maybe because I was too used to the old look.
But I guess it is always the feel I get when something very well known is being upgraded.
BTW: you know that you can choose from 3 different themes: default, dev theme and reverse colors theme.

Instead of focusing on improving their GUI, they could also investment some time into getting annoying bugs sorted out, upgrade their server capability, offer people an easier wallet user interface, and the list goes on.

But then again, I am slowly getting used to blockr.io as it offers a far better user experience than the often unreliable blockchain.info. Another decent alternative is blocktrail.com.

I like the favicon, user interface not bad we can easily adjust to it but I think it needs a little more polishing up .
The devs should have brought back an updated legacy wallet for us, you know what they say 'First Cut Is The Deepest' and it so happens to be my first.

I guess I'm a bit late checking on this and it's look cool in my eyes and blockchain.info seems doesn't want to be late with some updates.


About the interface it is not for me. Maybe that looks dull and lifeless to you. But for me, this look is good but I'm in the middle of agreeing its old interface is also good and clean looking.

Ah having seen another saying the same and it is nice change
it is good they stopped the constant ticker of transfers happening cause it was a waste of bandwidth for anyone going to their launch webpage.

Maybe that ticker used some bandwidth but I can't imagine it was even remotely expensive to keep around for big company like Blockchain.
I liked that feature very much. Even as it wasn't useful for any particular reason.
But it looked 'nerdy' and was catching eye of bystanders when I was opening my wallet in a public place.
Now main page of Blockchain.info is not as interesting as before IMO.

So what do you want to say?
Yes, I have my own eyes and I will say what I feel and what I see.
Dull as the it designed unprofessional. Lifeless as they removed the run time transaction in the first page(ticker).
Then you're talking nonsense at all.

They removed the scrollbar.. I hate it when sites do that. Now I can't quickly scroll half way down a massive list of transactions.

Where did the giant scrolling list of unconfirmed transactions go? That was always super useful for getting a random transaction for examples.

And that list of links to other useful stuff like recent double spends? Why did they remove all of that?

All in all, they have reduced the functionality of their site and this change is overall worse.

Now is better ;)

It has a beautiful pale color and is simple but a lot of information is missing. Unconfirmed transactions and recent double spends as achow101 mentioned above were very helpful for many users. Moreover in the past I could see the transactions real time but now I can only see a stupid counter; I can't understand the usage anyone would like to see in the left of their home page this counter for transactions. At last, down in the page 'advanced view on/off' what really is doing? I didn't see any difference. I have the feeling that bc.i anytime does something new is worse than the old one like as with their wallet. The old wallet some months ago had the functionality to export the private keys and sign a message (not only from imported address).

I know. I was trying to scroll down with my down arrow but it didn't move.
I am a ancient computer user who uses my keyboard when I can and did not like this move on their part to have it mouse point and click only when navigating the page.

I prefer honestly the previous one.
But that's just my opinion.

The new interface of blockchain.info looks better on mobile browsers (almost on iPhone). And i think it charges faster (on mobile connection) than the older one.

The new blockchain interface kinda cool, I really like the color of it but I like the old one plain and simple. And also the new one is not friendly user anymore it's hard to locate your own address. There's one time I took my time to find the my address and do a sign message. By the way hope they continue their good service despite the issue of unconfirmed transactions.

I don't like how it works now.

I send an amount and only got a message at the top saying "Sending in progress"
but it was still in my wallet.
So I thought it didn't send.
I did it again with the same amount.
Still same message appearing where the says "Sent successfully" or whatever it was.

Then 5 minutes later it beeps and shows the amount sent confirmed while I was going, what just happened? ???
Now I don't know was it sent twice? :-X

Was it the first send or the second attempt?
I am waiting to see in the next 5 minutes if I get another transaction showing up for the second one now. :-\

Great! >:(

Yesterday I sent about 0.1 btc, I chose a small transaction fee, almost a day is not over yet. I feel faster loading, and better in appearance. I think in terms of the most important is transaction speed and security. I am user blockchain almost a year, and I make blockchain as second options after coinbase.

I know what you mean brother.

I just sent 0.04btc and with a 0.000991btc transaction fee on top of it to get there by the estimated time to confirm at least once at 20 minutes.
3 hours later nothing sent.
112 satoshi per Byte isn't enough!? That was over $1 at the time when bitcoin was at $1198.91 price bro!
So what the hell is with the increase in miner's fees when it doesn't help the transaction to be sent faster?! ???

They want us to pay $2 no wait $5 per transaction to confirm immediately after we send?
This is getting so ridiculous, seriously now!
That is more than what Visa and Mastercard is charging merchants for those charges per transaction.

Is it true that blockchain.info increased the miners fee? Or it's automatic because I have a transaction and I find it unusual.
The fee costed 0.0004 BTC

Yes it is a lot more now to send and they don't even get sent in the time it says they will be from my post proves this delay.
Saying 20-30 minutes to send is different than 2-3 hours I hope they know.
After paying over $1 in just the transaction fee for a $40 send doesn't make much sense to me if I had just put the minimum suggested of $0.46 instead. :-\

You can always set your own fee - if you don't feel like paying standard Blockchain's fee or don't need confirmation in the next block.
Standard and automated fee was incensed because users complained that their transactions are stuck ans'unconfirmed way to often.
This is not blockchain's fault that we are having 'war fee' right now and with new high bitcoin price fee rates seem awfully expensive.

Just saw something about bitco.in or another name because the thread had two variations of the same site but spelled differently on the same subject being helping the transaction fee by adding more to it once it is sent already.
Is that possible?
I read a thread by achow here about his program but that thread (which was the same one I am talking about) was from 2014 I believe.
So kind of dated and do not know if it is recent enough to use that program anymore.

...

I rarely like changes to websites (at least at first), and I preferred the older blockchain.info design.  More information there! 
But once I get used to it I probably will like it...   :)

I am dismayed that they got rid two of their services: the Taint Analysis tool and the SharedCoin mixing service (although I did read that the latter had been compromised).  It may be that blockchain.info wants less parasitical use of their website...

I like the nice interfere that Blockchain.info created. However I somehow miss the old design as I am more used to it. Hopefully this will change as time goes on and that I will slowly like this new design. Thumb up for the front-end team at Blockchain.info. :).

(Did they change the favico too? Well, it is nice and simple but ... not really familiar for us old Bitcoiners lol).
