Title: Trouble with Strongcoin.com today
Post by: SilverandBitcoins on April 18, 2013, 06:16:59 PM
Is anyone else having trouble viewing their balance today on Strongcoin.com?  It says "Balance unavailable", and when I click on my wallet it says "Balance could not be retrieved".  They give an URL to check balances: Blockexplorer.com, but I didn't want to try it for security reasons.

I got the same result.

I've used blockexplorer.com on numerous occasions. I also use btcbalance.net.

Thanks Linuxnewbie.  Hopefully they will have everything up and running again soon.

Hmmmm.  I'm still getting the same message at strongcoin.com.  Will I be able to use my wallet again soon, or will I have to use some kind of work-around?

Strongcoin lets you decode your private key. I just verified that it still works. You can import it into blockchain.info in seconds. Then create backups!

Strongcoin is working and showing me my balance.  I was a little worried last night.  I'm not very techy.  I did make a copy, when I started the wallet, of the public address, the private key and something caled the checksum.
