Is there any ETA on this, I ran a test transaction yesterday. As it was the first time I've used Pingit I'm not entirely sure if it's working properly. I believe the transactions might timeout if they're not processed within 24 hours.

Right now the £10 I sent to you is still listed as 'pending'.

Sometimes PingIt transactions take a little longer to clear on weekends. Please could you open a ticket at https://blockchain.zendesk.com if it hasn't cleared in a few hours.

I don't know what went on here, either:

a) Two wallets were created. In which case the easiest way to solve it will be to just find the wallets and login through the web interface. Do you know the ip address that was used to create them?
b) Perhaps there was a syncing issue caused by using both apps simultaneously, causing one to overwrite each-others wallet. Login through the web interface click [Import / Export] the [Import backup] and click the import link next to each backup.

Well, I thought I had figured it out. I realized that I had two instances of script linking to the jquery library, and older version and the newer version. I thought, and hoped, that that was the problem. So, I removed the instance of the older jquery library( and edited all of the links in my website to the newer library) but it didn't fix anything. I still get errors.

Now, when I load the page I get plain text of data address and data anonymous and then below that is the donate image. But when I click on the donate image I get this:

data-address="1JoyZBGXKdSSeTpLHMLGTSLUDKbLLjWqjt"
data-anonymous="true">
Error Invalid Destination Bitcoin Address

What browsers are you using? Clicking the Donation button on may be easier than using the API docs  http://blockchain.info/address/1JoyZBGXKdSSeTpLHMLGTSLUDKbLLjWqjt
464  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: blockchain.info request declined on: November 23, 2012, 11:23:14 AM
I recently had to restore my iphone firmware and lost my google authenticator.
I have tried to remove the two factor authentication from my account but received an email saying it was declined.
I have replied to blockchain.info asking for assistance but have not received a reply.
If there are any staff here from blockchain.info could you please provide me with some assistance.

Thank you

It is likely there is a secret phrase set on the account. Without it a two factor authentication reset request cannot be approved. Please open a ticket at http://blockchain.uservoice.com with your wallet identifier, if you haven't already.

What's up with blockchain.info? I tried to buy BTC yesterday but the maximum limit is £10. 'Due to exchange issues we are currently low on bitcoins. The £500 limit will be restored Friday Morning.'

Unfortunately a wire transfer we sent to an exchange on Monday has not arrived yet, as a result we do not have any coins available to sell via PingIt. It is frustrating but like most users we also have to deal with exchange issues from time to time and generally there isn't much that can be done other than wait.
466  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Blockchain.info "unknown error pushing transaction" on: November 23, 2012, 11:16:38 AM
Got this same error, no matter how much or where I try to send.  Yes, have tried waiting, logging out and back in, yada yada, to no avail.

Effectively the coins made it in from MTGox -> blockchain.info  and now are trapped, unable to be sent to any other addresses.

Are you using the Opera web browser? If so please upgrade to the latest version.
467  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [Bounty - 10 BTC] Help identify ANY address from the list on: November 23, 2012, 02:34:59 AM
I made a quick tool to try and help with this: results

The page shows transactions which have tags belonging to known users. These users *might* be able to provide more information on the target addresses. Unfortunately there are no directly linked addresses, only transactions one hop away from the final addresses (i.e. there is one transaction in-between).

Received Transactions

bitcointalk user kenuri (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=67634) sent 50 BTC to 1N9Dxt66RoxW8CoMb58Kw18GZjiqUM2rYB which was then sent to 1NoDPxUcXwTzYaxNjPjdRKGDicMAcEMn1T (a target address) (http://blockchain.info/tx/ef91b598dda18119963b0e97c5cc9dea600e51c3c4faa17a5a3484b9ac55305f)

bitcointalk user li_gangyi (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=34062) sent 7 BTC to 1CERGTScYAs4q6oK6U7QRRy5EB2gbB5hpT which was then sent to 1NoDPxUcXwTzYaxNjPjdRKGDicMAcEMn1T (a target address) (http://blockchain.info/tx/9a2cd434972227dbe7192102d3fbcc99e05ed83178cd3d1785ab1cb847d44b52)

0.01 BTC was sent to blockchain.info in this transaction (http://blockchain.info/tx/70add1fe625d665790d28995d928e1733d83904afb2c2c5a4e548b965d8b2d96) part of which was then sent to 1A66TFRPWrFay45LHJmJMebWPKBcd7EhoW (a target address). Probably from the days when My Wallet had a 0.01 BTC tx fee, we don't keep logs anyway.

Sent Transactions

16X2xjFaE4RA8kt85sb4ebVL12EggyxFw4 (a target address) sent 4 BTC to 18ahbMZVmyT6yM6AkiXS5dS9hRH7uD18kb which was then sent to the Bitcointalk donation address (http://blockchain.info/tx/d310b2fd0322b8838bdb1a41254605b7bc16f242fa7de7ab22650ae4cbc6dedf). There are some more occurrences of the bitcointalk donation address and an address tagged to Theymos.

A Few sent transactions can be linked to "Pirate Booty" which is either a pirate address or silk road, a dead end either way. Several Transactions were also sent to Instawallet's old green address.

1A66TFRPWrFay45LHJmJMebWPKBcd7EhoW (a target address) sent 3,000 BTC to 167DeVgSudKYF3fvKiQ7UEQsU9bfgcEfSC which then sent 112 BTC to the bitcointalk user "nyana" (http://blockchain.info/tx/cd3923aeed0b74b32468b03b0ccf1bd3cea942ec4dc02e3efaccd74462f39d56)

1A66TFRPWrFay45LHJmJMebWPKBcd7EhoW (a target address) sent 600 BTC to 19HM68K6z4PNDacVSQ4gJPqmXRh1s6gUkM which was then sent to Mt.Gox in this transaction (http://blockchain.info/tx/68ea1b0d326e873c6c7dd5740268948c8936f6bce10ead7a7629b83d961c9ab7). This might be your best bet, try and contact Mt.Gox for information on that transaction.

Hope this was some help, although the results maybe fruitless.

I'll revisit the idea of indexing tags after the android app is done (which is top priority now). There are other datasources which could be indexed, such as google results, other forums etc - but I agree, a better way is needed to display them.

* Incoming transaction should be nice and smooth now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IzTZc6MHB0 (Clear cache if necessary)
* Other bug fixes
470  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Blockchain.info - Bitcoin Block explorer & Currency Statistics on: November 20, 2012, 11:22:27 PM
Piuk,

I still reproduce this problem: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=40264.msg1308240#msg1308240

Did you look it?

I can't reproduce this. The popup summary is shown in a frame so you may have to wait for it to load the new transaction.

You might want to change the layout for the tag thingy though. Now this looks like porn advertisement (which it is but you are not earning from showing it which it looks like).

Maybe a disclaimer is needed, I don't mind it being liberal what text is shown though.

Feature request: Would it be possible for me to remove the filter in My Transactions which only shows transactions for addresses that I haven't archived?  The pull-down says "All" but that apparently means "All that aren't archived".

Sure, this can be added. The select box would probably be better as Active (Default), All, Sent, Received Escrow.

* SD winnings statistics should now be accurate (Reload the page, clear cache is necessary).

… but would be happier if I would see tags in the taint analysis Wink

You Can. Here is a real life use case:

The users "mralbi" has had 600 BTC stolen by a Trojan on his/her PC (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=126024.0). The address the funds were sent to is http://blockchain.info/address/1Q3KFL7Z1BTpUboDaU6Qj3t9xCXWpzNntS. On the Taint analysis you can see there are two addresses tagged: "nyana" and Mt.Gox" http://blockchain.info/taint/1Q3KFL7Z1BTpUboDaU6Qj3t9xCXWpzNntS. Theoretically the owners of these tags could be contacted and offered a bounty to provide any information they can on the address 1Q3KFL7Z1BTpUboDaU6Qj3t9xCXWpzNntS. Perhaps they have sent a transaction to that address before. This is just the beginnings of what might be possible in future but does stress the importance of keeping addresses isolated from one another if anonymity is desired.

I would like to suggest a feature to create a donation list.

1- Add on wallet home tab a button: (Create a Donation List)
2- When the user click on the button, will open a window to add some informations like:
2.1- Option to add bitcoin addresses that you will donate.
2.2- Frequency of donation. Monthly, weekly, annually...
2.3- Percentage that each address of the list will receive. Or if all addresses will receive evenly.
2.4- Maximum of Btc or Btc Fiat price that all addresses on the list will receive on the frequency stated on 2.2.
3- Will be interesting index all users donation list in one public list and show many informations like: addresses that have more people donating, addresses that received more donations,....

What do you think?

If I understand correctly, recurring payments for donations? Recurring payments are problematic because we cannot send transactions on the users behalf. However it would certainly be possible to show a reminder when the user next logs in. I have added it to the ideas list, thanks.

The API page mentions the "Unspent outpus" API method, but the implementation differs from the online documentation.

Thanks, I've updated the documentation now.

473  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Blockchain.info - Bitcoin Block explorer & Currency Statistics on: November 18, 2012, 02:26:53 PM
But it looks like blockchain.info has a failure mode where it looses connection to some backend, and data does not update.

Apologies, yes one server lost it's database connection. If it problem ever occurs again it should auto-reconnect now.

This would make most sense for you as this would be an incentive to open an account on blockchain.info. Up/Down-voting could be done by "donation" addresses which again would be good for you.
As long as you show the amount of donations as justification to rate something high, you should not be blamed for misrepresenting stuff and upon clear abuse you could close accounts or users and mark the tag as coming from a closed account. Showing tags from closed accounts last, only optionally or not at all would also be very clear to the user.r liability.

For now a tag submission page is available at http://blockchain.info/tags. Also for a bit of geeky fun I indexed the addresses contained in signatures from bitcointalk.org example: http://blockchain.info/address/1H4sGgNSRvRuiUsbucsQBNFWhZcLnL2KW1

It doesn't include up or down voting as the tags in this context probably serve a slightly different purpose than your original idea giszmo. Which was to allow people to tag addresses as belonging to scammers, add comments etc? While I could see this being useful in some situations it has the danger of morphing into a blacklist which in my opinion is a bad idea all round.

You should only trust tags fetched via https, otherwise a man-in-the-middle could hijack the .json file and replace the address and signature.
(and I think you'd want "tags" to be an Array of Objects...)

Yep, your right on both counts. Extending this feed idea a bit further, what if it wasn't just for individuals websites but could the feeds could serve as a public directory of users as well. Basically a map of label@domain.org.

For example wallet services could all have a "Make address public" option which would then publish an address and label to the wallet services bitcoin_tags.json feed. Other wallet services can then index the feed of each service to build a public address book.

e.g. If I published the label "piuk" in the blockchain feed. Instawallet could then index the feed and resolve "piuk@blockchain.info" to the correct address. Bitcoin-Qt could publish to a @bitcoinfoundation.org feed, Electrum to @ecdsa.org etc.

RE: adding data to the blockchain: Did you see Stefan Thomas' nifty idea for using ECC math to tie a hash to a transaction without any blockchain bloat?

It's a nice trick, but is missing the most desired property that embedding data in the blockchain has, in that data is guaranteed to be permanently stored for as long as the bitcoin network is running.

There is a problem with the mixer: it does not pay a fee for the outgoing transaction, so often it takes ages to confirm.  I have been waiting four hours so far  Sad

This should be patched this now, the mixer will be much more likely to pay a fee from now on.

http://blockchain.info/address/18V845FZ8UnQNCDiSH1fE1xu6T4HHbJCUu

You could try PMing that user and seeing if they know anything about the address in question. It's a long shot but you never know.

I have just been blocked, why would they bother blocking you from using api? surely its for programmers and if its going to be requested in lines of code for 1000s of people to use why block.

Calls are rate limited because we only have finite bandwidth and server resources.

Send me an email at help@blockchain.info with your website name and reason for using the API and I will give you a code to bypass the limiter.

[I do agree this is a very safe way to get people identify their own addresses but my original idea was to have a way to also tag other addresses. Scammers will not give their own addresses a scammer tag. Many very public addresses scream to get indexed somehow but their owners won't host such a file. Yet I'm sure people would pay to enter addresses in some index.

I see what you mean. The foundations for an address tagging system are in now.





So just a good system is needed for users to submit their own tags. Either:

- Directly on the block explorer pages, I'm not quite what this would look like since address pages are quite cluttered anyway. Maybe just double click in place to edit an address.
- A new page specifically for submitting, up / down voting and reporting spam tags.
- Have an address that you can send a transaction to which contains a tag embedded within one of the scripts. This is abusing the blockchain a bit though.
- json file which you can upload to a webserver which will blockchain will index. Downside is you can't tag other people's addresses.

I'm not sure which would be best, what do you think?

Awesome. Testing now, how come you need to wait for a deposit to confirm before it can be bet?
479  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Blockchain.info - Bitcoin Block explorer & Currency Statistics on: November 13, 2012, 05:33:10 PM
I'm happy you like the idea Smiley

People will know that tags can be bought easily. Show how much was paid for each of them.
Scammers will get scam-warning-tags just underneath – and you get money for that.
You could distribute the money paid for tags against your TOS to those that tagged the tag as scam.
If you charge a minimum fee for tagging, you can afford to moderate the tags.

If patrolling/taking responsibility for tags is not what you want to do, I suggest you do as follows:
Provide a tool to efficiently embed messages in the blockchain in combination with a payment to one of your addresses.
Provide a site that lists all these comments.

What about this... The owner of a website puts a file on their website called bitcoin_tags.json or something like that. This would server a similar purpose to sitemap.xml but instead contains a number of bitcoin addresses and labels.

For example http://wikileaks.org/bitcoin_tags.json

{
 "tags" : {
  "address" : "1HB5XMLmzFVj8ALj6mfBsbifRoD4miY36v",
  "tag" : "Donations",
  "sig" : "signature of concatenated tag and domain"
 }
}

Once the owner of a website has added the file they can suggest that blockchain.info indexes it, once indexed blockchain.info will display the new tag accordingly. This has the advantage of.

* maintainable, webmaster can update bitcoin_tags.json as they choose. Deadlinks will be removed from the database.
* Decentralised, any service can index tags.
* More secure, both the domain and the address signature is verified. Tags can be independently verified if necessary and little moderation is needed.

Provide a tool to efficiently embed messages in the blockchain in combination with a payment to one of your addresses.

This can be done, but the main devs have made it clear they do not want messages embedded in the blockchain.

ok, I can follow your chain of thoughts but can't find out if the limit was imposed by you or the payment processor

It is enforced by us and is unlikely to be changed for the foreseeable future, sorry.

not showing my complete profit/loss either - not that I actually want to face the truth of knowing it Sad  PM me for details on my addresses if you need to test.


This is really hard for me to test because the results sets are large. I need to find an example of a specific transaction which is definitely missing.

Did you set any password hints? Try writing the password in plaintext exactly how you think it should appear and copying and pasting it.

Are you sure the identifier is correct? When was the last time you logged in and did you change the password recently? If you open a ticket at https://blockchain.zendesk.com/ I can send you the last 50 wallet backups but it won't do any good if the password is indeed incorrect.
