Title: Blockchain.info removed multiple send
Post by: dreamer81 on June 09, 2017, 02:43:11 PM
As you all know, blockchain.info shot themselves in the foot, and removed the option to send bitcoins to several adresses in the same transaction. I dont know why they would make such a foolish change, but I guess some developers simply shit on their users.

Any alternative to blockchain.info that supports sending bitcoins to multiple adresses in one transaction??

Yeah, I heard.  Was it costing them money or something?   I've never used that function myself, butI heard this happened from yahoo62278, who has to use a different wallet for the campaigns he manages because of this.  Oh, well.  I never was a fan of blockchain.info anyway.  They definitely pulled a Circle with this one.

Why do you think they shot themselves in the foot by doing this? They obviously saw that this option is not being used or it is not profitable for

them or it takes up too much resources. It is not as if people will stop using their services because of that.  ::) How much are you paying to use

their wallet service? Nada... nothing... zero... zilch.  ;D .... Try AsMoney.

Why don't you try to use electrum instead they have an option to pay many.. its more good to choose than waiting to fix the issue on blockchain..

I heard this too when checking one of his post yesterday about the multiple sending..

I have never used this multiple sending function before anyway, so I am not very concerned if it has been removed or not. Probably they ain't really getting much use of the function by users, hence the removal like someone said, but who knows? I am porting very soon from using them as I have been told they are not one of the best wallets to use. However, from the following comparison on wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_bitcoin_wallets it seems COPAY is a very good wallet to use. I am not sure if it is a light desktop wallet or not but they've their wallets accessible on all platforms. Has anyone ever used it? How convenient are you and what do you think about them?

Their removal of multiple send service affect some campaign managers in fulfilling their job specifically the processing of payment for their members/workers. Well, Blockchain.info has their right in removing or adding services so there is nothing we can do about that. It is just a disappointment, specifically on the campaign managers, that their service was also interrupted because of this.

Just use Electrum (https://electrum.org/#home).  You'll have the "send to many" feature.  It's a different kind of wallet but IMO I'd feel a lot better with my funds in there.

This is extremely stupid.  You're literally on a thread for someone hoping to leave Blockchain.info, and you're claiming that people will not leave Blockchain.info.  Did you even read the OP before posting your absurdly empty capitalist platitudes?

Yes, I already know this. I was waiting the payment from the signature campaign today, but cause Blockchain.info removed the option of sending bitcoins to sevral addresses at once I will have to wait for couple days to get the payment, as the maneger of the campaign explained to me. That sucks! That's not wise. I think Blockchain.info will loose many users after such decidion.

Obviously there are very few people affected by this move but it does not justify that this is a good move. Even though I only used that option a few times in my one year in blockchain.info, I still feel that they should have left it available for users. You will never know when you will need to send to many.

I have never used this feature so I will not miss it. Although I don't know what was the reason to discontinue it. Anyway, I also don't use blockchain wallet anymore because I got very disappointed with it, especialy now regarding to all this issues with fees. I don't like wallets where you can't have the control. And some users will leave also because of multiple send removal. Bad business policy.

I actually used this feature pretty often, really bummed to see that it has been removed.
Might also be a good thing, I'm finally switching to a desktop wallet.

Even though I never held too many coins on a web-wallet, it's certainly going to be much safer to make the full switch to a desktop wallet.

Its actually a step backward at this time in all sincerity. If its costing them more, the best is to just find a way to increase the fee and not just stopping it all together. Imagine a campaign that will be paying over 100users and will have to pay for each and everyone of those transactions. The cost alone will definitely be burdensome and could increase the cost of doing business.

I agree only few business people might need to send multiple people at a time and hence this feature must belong to advanced user levels. But how much does this feature will cost to them in consuming resources levels. I really could not understand, they do get tx details entered and will broadcast them into blockchain . Is there any big mechanism behind these ?

I mean, I doubt blockchain acts in favor of emphasizing bigger blocks ? They take steps to populate the network memory pool with many small tx so that tx fees will grow to another level ?

I have heard about this changing of the site as well. I hope they will come back this function after they will see that their users move to other wallets use.

Yeah this is a shit decision to remove that feature. Blockchain.info start greedy now with their services fee. Before we start send any btc, we start broke with the fees  :D
Maybe electrum or bitcoin core will be the best choice to replace blockchain.info
