Title: Blockchain.info is offline, what's wrong? Post by: goldlyre on April 18, 2013, 03:33:01 AM Blockchain.info is currently offline, what's wrong? Is it a grave problem, or else only a minor one? Thanks.

If you need access to your funds and have the encrypted backups (e.g., sent via e-mail if you've configured it for that), then you can either import the wallet.json.aes into Multibit, or you can manually decrypt the private keys and import them into Bitcoin-Qt. import of blockchain.info AES encrypted key to 0.8 - http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=150699.0 - http://multibit.org/help_importingPrivateKeys.html - https://gist.github.com/fcicq/3368495 Title: Re: Blockchain.info is offline, what's wrong?

Post by: TimJBenham on April 18, 2013, 08:02:07 AM Who would benefit from killing Bitcoin the most? What makes you think they want to kill Bitcoin? Rather than NWO/Illuminati/Banksters conspiracy theories I think the more likely explanation is the DDOS hackers are working their way down a list of the biggest dealers in bitcoin trying to shake them down. Of course they love bitcoin, yet it is in everyone's interests (except the victims and the aforementioned NWO etc) that they attack it. Bitcoin must survive this baptism of fire if it is to prove itself. Title: Re: Blockchain.info is offline, what's wrong?

Still investigating how the attacker was able to discover our real none-cloudflare IPs. - http://twitter.com/blockchain/status/324803593217638401Title: Re: Blockchain.info is offline, what's wrong? Post by: proudhon on April 18, 2013, 11:21:38 AM As a precaution I wiped my blockchain.info wallet using MultiBit and the latest encrypted backup I had. Back to your offline wallet bitcoins, go on, get in there, go on now.

I would say yes. Title: Re: Blockchain.info is offline, what's wrong? Post by: bitbadger on April 18, 2013, 03:01:02 PM The "this site is offline" message comes from the Cloudflare server service which I believe uses a technique to try and detect and prevent DDOS attacks on servers. It also throws up "false positives" from time to time as well. I just checked blockchain.info and could reach the site without any problems.
Title: Re: Blockchain.info is offline, what's wrong? Post by: dave111223 on April 18, 2013, 03:14:19 PM I really wish there were some other websites offering the same APIs as blockchain.info for some addedredundancy....
...for free also of course ;D Title: Re: Blockchain.info is offline, what's wrong? Post by: claes88 on April 18, 2013, 04:17:40 PM I have all my money in blockchain.info wallets... But I have saved the private keys in unencrypted format quite recently.
Can someone please help me with detailed instructions how I do to restore my wallet to the bitcoin client now? Title: Re: Blockchain.info is offline, what's wrong?
