Title: No transactions for about an hour now? What's happening? Post by: 1PFYcabWEwZFm2Ez5LGTx3ftz on August 20, 2013, 07:14:47 AM According to blockchain.info, the last BTC transaction occurred 59 minutes ago, and the last block was found 1 hour and 3 minutes ago.
What's happening?? Title: Re: No transactions for about an hour now? What's happening? Post by: karlmarxxx on August 20, 2013, 07:18:53 AM I think blockchain.info is under attack, see the thread here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=278017.0
Title: Re: No transactions for about an hour now? What's happening? Post by: 1PFYcabWEwZFm2Ez5LGTx3ftz on August 20, 2013, 07:24:42 AM I saw it. Could anyone confirm that they can still send/receive BTC transactions though, and that this it the problem on blockchain.info itself?

Post by: bezzeb on August 20, 2013, 07:28:53 AM I think blockchain.info is under attack, see the thread here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=278017.0 Indeed it seems they are struggling for the last days.... FYI to others who come here worrying and wondering: the bitcoin network where transactions are stored and blocks are added exists completely independently from all websites including blockchain.info. So this problem is local to their web service and has no effect other than preventing you from getting up to the instant data from their website. Let the bitcoins flow!!! Your bitcoin client will still work fine at sending funds, counting confirmations and what not. Title: Re: No transactions for about an hour now? What's happening?

And yes I've sent and received bitcoins during the blockchain.info problems. Don't panic! :) Title: Re: No transactions for about an hour now? What's happening? Post by: 1PFYcabWEwZFm2Ez5LGTx3ftz on August 20, 2013, 07:32:16 AM Yes, I realize that blockchain.info and the bitcoin network are completely separate entities. Is there any alternative to blockchain.info, where I could check how the bitcoin network is doing?

Also ddos protection is expensive, like 10k+ per month Blockchain needs to start charging us Title: Re: No transactions for about an hour now? What's happening?
