Does anyone know what's going on? Can't seem to access my wallet.

Yes, Blockchain.info is down.

Glad I just took my coins out of their wallet....

Aaaaand now it's back up.
Hopefully nothing went wrong.

I was in the middle of making a purchase and it crapped out on me. Awesome! Anyone ever have that happen?

Not yet. What happened when you tried?

Woah dude.  Please inform us what happened.

It's still down. Shows my wallet is empty and transaction has no confirmations, yet the tx shows no records found on other explorer sites. I dont know what they have going on, but all my coins are just floating around now?

First time this has happened for me... Anyone have some concrete knowledge of what's going on?

your bitcoins are not in their wallet.

your private key (imagine it as simply the password to a paypal account, where the public key is the email address for people to send funds to) is stored on blockchain.info. but the coins are not in that wallet.. just the private key.

maybe its best to backup your private key (export) onto paper or another client so that you lot are not reliant on blockchain.info soo much.

even if blockchain.info shuts down, having the private key means you can access your funds from anywhere

Blockchain did the adios to the funds, but the other side still does not have the payment. This is what I get about the transaction when I don't get 522 errors from cloudflare:

Can you still access the p2p function from mobile? I cant find it now from my new phone. Last time it did this i was able to switch modes and make my transactions.

Working for me.

Same here. Seems to be back up with all coins intact.

I sent this long ago....

https://blockchain.info/tx/914b38acf571f3e0f8dbfd0970ed8ac0f3b2bc447b59ffc4f72f7eba573e015c

but when you search the tx in other explorers it shows no records. Yet is gone out of my wallet.....  Are they even aware of this issue?

This is a 3r time this has happened to  me. I really need to download another client on my desktop and avoid that site.

What happened the first two times. Did you get your coins back>?

Seems to be back up and down several times in the past few hours.  Not sure how long until it will be stable.

They eventually sent i think one time, then the other they were back in my wallet.

Working for me now on desktop

sent and comfirmed? Its been up and how for a while now. I think maybe they are behind on blocks and thats why my wallet shows 0, and that the transaction isnt confirmed?

Nope
i still can access it without problem

well i can get on it to. have been able to off and on for a bit, but transactions arent confirming. like i said shows i spent it, shows tx, on blockchain.info, but tx shows no record found on every other site.

Mine works fine sir.. Can you contact blockchain support about this?

Definitely something going on - servers are intermittent and transactions are not being broadcast to the network.

The tweet by Blockchain is below. This tweet was 12 hours before, so I think it will come soon. :)

Do you guys think it's safe to send transactions now?

no, it's still unstable and not sending transactions into the blockchain.

It's working now. It was down for 1 hour or so...I guess.

My transaction 4hrs ago is still unconfirmed.  Anyone else facing a similar issue?

Seems like they are offline, maybe under an attack
Cloudflare is giving 522 errors
https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200171906-Error-522


A 522 error states that CloudFlare could not make a TCP connection to the origin server before the attempts timed out. This means that CloudFlare was unable to send the http request to the origin as no network connection to the origin server could be established.

Mine is still in the wallet... And its not responding...fingers crossed... Waiting for everything to be sorted out.  :'(

If you can see your transaction on the blockchain.info website then ...

You can add:

to the end of the transaction URL in your web browser.

You can then copy this hex representation of your transaction to your clipboard and paste it into eligius's web page for pushing transactions:
http://eligius.st/~wizkid057/newstats/pushtxn.php

This will allow you to get your transaction broadcast onto the bitcoin network while you are waiting for blockchain.info to fix their netowrk issues.

Example:

If your transaction were:
https://blockchain.info/tx/3ca9820a28de24ff7fedf1be48a65bf0e24f9606d7eb09be1548c9d5546f1b1f

You can go to the following web page:
https://blockchain.info/tx/3ca9820a28de24ff7fedf1be48a65bf0e24f9606d7eb09be1548c9d5546f1b1f?format=hex

Which will result in the following hex representation of the transaction:

You can then paste that string of characters into the Eligius site, and Eligius will broadcast it to the bitcoin network for you.

i think its back up now

nevermind, back down again lol

"Error 522" for me. Blockchain.info is not very stable in the past few months. Luckily I am never in a rush to send any money while it was down. Is there an alternative online wallet I can trust?

Green Address and Hive are good. I suggest you use Green Address. You can get a plugin for chrome. :) OR why don't you use DarkWallet. Its in Beta stage but I tried and so far no problem. :)

Now blockchain.info works properly ;). Check yourself ...

I wonder if that is why my electrum wallet was having a problem syncing today. Does anyone know if that would cause that? Seems to be fine now though

Nope. Electrum uses different server not Blockchain.info . So I think that may be another problem. :)

Other than Eligius, you can also push the raw transaction on https://btc.blockr.io/tx/push
