Title: What is the problem with BLOCKCHAIN.info?
Post by: Watoshi-Dimobuto on October 06, 2014, 08:02:00 AM
Recently, i am having a lot of problems with blockchain.info. Since i use its wallet, it either delays my transactions or just keeps it unconfirmed.

It affects a lot when i bet on btc oracle or any sites in which timing is very important. Last time it showed up after an hour.

Few days ago, all the recent transactions were stuck.

Now blocks are not updated.

324076   1 hour 8 minutes   47   556.88 BTC   Discus Fish   21.97
324075   1 hour 10 minutes   113   4,134.33 BTC   Slush   67.88
324074   1 hour 13 minutes   418   3,710.48 BTC   Discus Fish   276.48
324073   1 hour 31 minutes   565   5,280.95 BTC   BTC Guild   300.80
324072   1 hour 54 minutes   636   4,907.68 BTC   GHash.IO   340.80
324071   

My transactions i sent half an hour ago only appears in blockchain.info and not in any other block explorers.
Plus it is still unconfirmed and it haven't yet got credited in the site to which i sent.

Do you know of any alternatives to blockchain.info wallet?

I am using blockchain for a long time and it's better than other online wallets. I never had the problems you are talking about except some little hiccups. If you still want an alternative, try Coinbase.

It has been a little slow over the last week or so, agreed
But still think it is the best of the online web wallets. Be patient, they will fix things I am sure.

It seems to be working fine now but same thing happened last week too.
The blocks was updating on btc.blockr.io but nothing on blockchain.

blockchain.info wallet is the best and I keep using it. When making some sending, I will log into my account. I bother to log into to check the receiving  and just check on the block explorer. Other than that, I am using bitcoin core as well.

i found blockchain.info to be the best when starting using online wallets. like you i noticed some discrepancy mainly the coins were not adding up but rectified days later and slow payments. i moved to bitcoin core. although it takes ages to start and can take a while to download the blockchain the first time, i have had no problems with it. and i could move my address so diddnt loose out. offline wallets can be a bit more risky but as long as you encrypt and are not stupidly downloading viruses can be as secure.
