Title: BlockChain.info firsbits support broken?
Post by: wachtwoord on May 17, 2012, 08:57:47 PM
Hey,

I use the BlockChain.info API to resolve firstbits addresses to full Bitcoin addresses on my site (www.cam4btc.com). Today it stopped resolving my vanity address which I always use for testing. So I went to the blockchain.info site myself and it says my address is not a valid Bitcoin address http://blockchain.info/address/1cam4btc

This used to work flawlessly and firstbit.com still resolves it correctly. Is this problem just for my address of for all addresses? I am asking because if Blockchain stops supporting this I will need to update the functionality on the site.

The firstbits database is recalculating. Should be fully functional again in a few hours.
