Bitcoin Forum

Yes, it's down

Yep I wonder why hope its not a webwallet hack

*tin foil hat on*

- IT'S THE END OF BITCOIN!

You all need to store your own coins and not rely on a web-wallet.....

Thought we were still in Pompei Japan escaping the Mt.Gox chaos

A lot of web services run by relying on blochain.info API too

true, but web wallets are so cool!  I just want to believe bitcoin is the future and use it carelessly like its normal and safe. too bad its not so mainstream and secure yet...

still down

I'll give you that one instantwallet then inputs and a few other wallet services
QT or Armory for safe storage of large amounts
However for quick inputs a tiny amount for transactions is fine as long as you have a Bitcoin service in the area
Or are using a Bitcoin ATM and didn't bring a printable QR code but your phone

Bad news is still Error 521 and I am upset need to do some thing but now frustration whats going to happen this

also, to be prevent more flaming of my wallet choices, I have QT and all that, I was just wanting to buy something haha =)   web wallets are nice in that you can buy stuff without having to sync a wallet that doesnt get connected to the net much..

Hope everyone has a backup of their json wallet via email, or exported the keys

you sould have the keys of you blockchain wallet blockchain.info does NOT have custumers private keys.  , you can check the funds on blockexplorer http://blockexplorer.com/

*troll*

Someone dumped more than 500k BTC and crashed the blockchain

http://blockchain.info/

Thanks looks like Blockchain is safe for another day so we can relax

ITS BACK UP =)

No I have still this  Error 522 Ray ID: 10998336ab2701cb
Connection timed out

ya... it went back down quickly...

Is this only for maintenance or some thing serious happen to this blockchain

oh ya, its bad bro! sell all your coins at market right now!  haha no I assume its just a regular thing like they are under ddos or some someone spilled coffee on a server (blizzard jokes?)

Right!  And until there is a TASK FORCE or standards based approach like (PCI COMPLIANCE) I think we will always be at risk and get GOXXED.   Multi billion dollar exchange and they don't have proper security in place.  Security is not a bolt-on.  ITS A REQUIREMENT /rant.

still down

Now going to sleep hope tomorrow I have some good news about this  :(

God, I honestly hope the developer doesn't see this post. Stress is never a good thing when developing, let's hope it's just a system configuration error and not an actual programmatic one.

I like the sound of "task force" in this context, a exchange or mining pool could easily create by setting aside a small amount of block fees or transaction fees to a wallet that would be paid out to those who discover ways to make the community more secure. I would mine at a pool , or trade at a exchange that implimented something like this.

I would like to coordinate a task force as I have PCI DSS/security/whitehat/blackhat/real IT experience.    How can we start this?
