:( :( Title: Re: blockchain.info - so god damn unreliable. Post by: BitCoinDream on May 26, 2014, 04:24:16 PM it's always frikin down and it shows cloudflare saying it can't connect to their host. :( :( Are you using them too much ? They have some pre-set limit. It is actually up @ my end. Title: Re: blockchain.info - so god damn unreliable.

The reason they use it is to make their service more reliable. Title: Re: blockchain.info - so god damn unreliable. Post by: dontbugme on May 26, 2014, 05:08:25 PM Just use blockr.io. Much better for looking stuff up and like that. Unless you are doing something else?

Light usage, but I consider them fast and dependable lately. Title: Re: blockchain.info - so god damn unreliable. Post by: Amitabh S on May 27, 2014, 04:44:49 AM Just use blockr.io as someone suggested.. but don't use it a lot ;D otherwise it will also become like blockchain.info.
Title: Re: blockchain.info - so god damn unreliable. Post by: Swordsoffreedom on May 27, 2014, 04:49:54 AM That's unusual I have only counted it being down a handful of times
That said if you use an ATM machine linked to its prices then it would be annoying to see it down Title: Re: blockchain.info - so god damn unreliable. Post by: keithers on May 27, 2014, 07:03:19 AM At the end of the day, I don't think that there is a more reliable, transparent web wallet company. Also, they provide their services to everyone free of charge.
Title: Re: blockchain.info - so god damn unreliable. Post by: Jcw188 on May 27, 2014, 03:29:19 PM I've recently started using blockchain. I don't understand what blockchain is though, is it a private entity? How can they have the block explorer on there but also offer free wallets to everyone?
Title: Re: blockchain.info - so god damn unreliable. Post by: Bit_Happy on May 27, 2014, 03:58:07 PM Still working fine for me at least a few times per day.
I've recently started using blockchain. I don't understand what blockchain is though, is it a private entity? How can they have the block explorer on there but also offer free wallets to everyone? blockchain.info currently has some ad revenue and maybe affiliate programs. Also, I think they have premium services in the future, or other plans for more income. Title: Re: blockchain.info - so god damn unreliable. Post by: DhaniBoy on May 27, 2014, 04:16:28 PM i rarely find that
it seems blockchain always working when i open that site :D try blockr.io if blockchain can't be accessed Title: Re: blockchain.info - so god damn unreliable. Post by: skottiejay on May 27, 2014, 04:19:07 PM I've had a blockchain account for a while (have it open right now) the only problem I've had is that it signs me out to dang often, and sometimes when refreshing my account it takes a long time.
Are you sure you aren't making too many requests to the server? Since they use cloudflare I'm sure it would be good to respect that. Title: Re: blockchain.info - so god damn unreliable. Post by: Soappa on May 27, 2014, 06:45:21 PM If you are using it as an blockchain explorer, you can use https://blockr.io/, https://blockexplorer.com/ and https://www.biteasy.com/ as alternative.
If you are using the wallet service, you should make backups and so you could import your private keys to a SPV client when you need to. Title: Re: blockchain.info - so god damn unreliable.

Also, I think they have premium services in the future, or other plans for more income. If I recall correctly blockchain.info even has some spare cash now and are buying other companies So I do expect that there will be premium services in the future Overall it is still very reliable for a webwallet and the only one that hasn't stolen a large amount that's been around for a long time :) http://blogs.wsj.com/moneybeat/2014/03/04/blockchain-acquires-trading-platform-to-expand-zeroblock/ |
