Title: f u blockchain.info, :( Post by: BlockchainHelp? on April 02, 2014, 11:54:17 PM Jesus Christ...
I orig created this account to ask for some help on what happened to my funds but..... i guess it's fine now. I logged into my Blockchain.info account earlier as I had a payment from someone and was about to send it to my paper wallet then i saw all my transaction history gone and my balance at 0... it wasn't a huge amount but it was around 1.5 BTC which would of pissed me off I was thinking well... I guess i've been hacked and started to freak out as I didn't have a clue how...... kept logging in and out and gave up and just ran malwarebytes and went out to grab something to eat come back home log back into the blockchain to see if i could find the tx where my funds go bye bye and boom my transactions appear and my balance is restored.... wtf happened? oh yh i just enabled 2fa Title: Re: f u blockchain.info, :( Post by: Taras on April 03, 2014, 02:53:09 AM Good to see that you've figured it out. :)
I recommend setting up some 100% cold paper wallets, just so you have that added sense of security. ;) Title: Re: f u blockchain.info, :( Post by: Beliathon on April 03, 2014, 03:34:48 AM Good to see that you've figured it out. :) Brain wallets are where it's at, if you're intelligent enough to do it properly.

I'm pretty sure every bitcoin holder here has experienced that moment of acute dread when something bitcoin related doesn't behave, especially when coins "disappear". First you feel like ??? Very quickly followed by >:( Which eventually becomes :-\ Until the coins re-appear and then :D ;) Thanks for sharing. I got a chuckle thinking of my own moments of bitcoin related dread. I'm happy to read it was all a misunderstanding, cause by increasing your security! Cool story. The sad stories are when 2FA isn't enabled and coins go missing. :'( Title: Re: f u blockchain.info, :( Post by: vnvizow on April 03, 2014, 04:27:31 AM Moral of the story: don't use online wallets
