Ok great, I understand now, but, shouldn't I have gotten my initial transaction back?
Yes, you will have already. If you point me towards your bitcoin address i can take a look. Related discussion: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=120199.0 |

Ok I've add a new job called PushStuckMyWalletTransactions() which will re-broadcast all My Wallet transactions older than 3 hours every hour. Hopefully this should be enough to keep all our transactions in miners memory pools. I've also increased the expiry time of transactions to 48 hours, since transactions generally seem to be taking longer to confirm nowadays.
Previous this job was called PushMyWalletTransactionsWithPoorPropagation() which would re-broadcast transactions which are not being accepted fully by nodes. However the problem isn't that the transactions aren't been accepted, it's that are being dropped at a later date.

If SatoshiDICE received the transaction then it was broadcast correctly. Blockchain.info will remove transactions after 24 hours unconfirmed. The problem is with the bitcoin network / miners have trouble with large chains of unconfirmed transactions. Since the memory pool of bitcoind miners is limited sometimes if an unconfirmed chain reaches a certain size the transactions at the beginning maybe pushed out of the memory pool. Meaning the rest cannot confirm.
I can improve this our side by preventing long chains of transactions from being spent. However a better fix would be for the big mining pools to significantly increase their memory pool size (and never drop large transactions).

Wow, I really liked the bitcoin value at time of transaction on summary dialog.
1- The data is from MtGox?
2- Could you add an option to choose other exchanges?
Yes the data is from Gox. I guess the problem is that Mt.Gox is the only exchange I really trust or use, but aside from that it is just a case of parsing their data feeds. I'm browsing blockchain.info wallet on a tablet. When I open the transaction summary dialog, the only way to close it is clicking on close button or on X icon.
Could you add an option to just click out of the dialog to close it?
I can't remember why but there was a a reason why I disabled this behaviour for all modals. I think it was to stop users exiting without choosing an action. However that doesn't apply in this case, so i'm sure it can be changed. My Wallet = My Treasure Chest haha  Not everyone knows that www. isn't needed, and the www. was even the "official" URL at one time:
Thanks, fixed now. Cool. However, as far as I can see this requires me to use your wallet. Is there some way I can request an anonymous forwarding address I can send to from my own wallet software?
http://blockchain.info/api/api_receive look at the "Create Address API Call" |

Quoting my response to the OP here. This usually happens when a very long chain on unconfirmed transactions builds up (that is unconfirmed transactions that spend each other). If the transaction at the start of the chain never confirms all the transactions that spend it will be removed as well. Many mining pools deprioritize SatsoshiDICE transactions which makes the problem even worse.
They many still get confirmed, at which point SatoshiDICE should rectify the issue. Basically if you are playing SatoshiDICE very heavily you need to be careful about building up large chains of unconfirmed transactions as they could take days to confirm. |

Artefacts of the machine translation, they can be removed. makes me nervous because this means that my login password is stored in a way which is decryptable ( normally i would have expected that the password is stored as a salted hashvalue). so please can you explain."
The password is never sent or stored server side. The QR code is generated using javascript. Possibly it should be base64 encoded or something to slightly obfuscate it. The password is stored plain text in the iphone app using NSUserDefaults. If you are concerned about this enable double encryption (which is never stored at all). Can I claim a bounty for translating the strings into pirate english (YARR, etc?)
Yes, I wouldn't want any pirates to miss out 5 BTC bounty for a full translation. Can the send anonymously mixing service be used with the API?
You can now: https://blockchain.info/api/api_sendGerman translation is way off.
Where can I contribute?
https://blockchain.info/wallet/translations Thank You to everyone who has contributed so far. adding a display field to the "custom send"-dialog that shows the sum of all selected own addresses minus
the sum of so far entered outputs.
I have added this now.  New summary dialog when you click on a transaction:  |

Also than can be indepently checked, on blockchain.info for example The public taint analysis on blockchain.info is limited to 2,500 outputs, up to 100,000 outputs are scanned for the taint analysis in the mixer. The guarantee and the effort made to ensure the coins are properly mixed is the difference. |

How does the service compare to using Instawallet over Tor ?
We guarantee the transaction cannot be linked through the blockchain. |
|
|
|
So what if a L.E.A./GOV requests info about a certain TX from the Mixer with a court order - what info/logs will blockchain.info give them exactly?
Is it even possible to trace a TX in and out of the blockchain.info mixer at all after it has finished?
While the entry is active we have information available which connects the input address and output address. Once the forwarding is complete this info is fully deleted. Sometimes the input address private key may be kept around a little longer so that funds can be returned if the mixer entry is accidentally used twice - however the mapping to the output address is always removed so at best it is possible to determine the transation was indeed sent through the mixer but without knowing where. No requests have ever been made, If any such request is made the service will be shutdown instead. |

There's bug in indentation on the line with "self.send_response(200)". Can you fix it, please. Otherwise this pull request is safe.
Indentation fixed I think (unfamiliar with python). |

Yes, the output consisted of many inputs.
Would be nice if blockchain.info wallet would include some sort of pay-per-kb suggestion, so to avoid lengthy delays.
Set the default fee policy to generous in account settings. There is only so much a fee will help though, sometimes transactions are just slow. |

Thank you to Rotsor & Hostfat for the homepage translations. Any translators feel free to change the link on the homepage to your own website. TranslationsThe site has been machine translated into 16 languages. Help is needed to improve the accuracy https://blockchain.info/wallet/translations. ----- - Minor XSS vulnerability fixed on homepage. A bounty of 8 BTC was paid to the reporter. - Mixer Performance Improvements. Transactions in and out should be faster. - PingIt deposits should be faster (~10 seconds latency after barclays confirms). |

Blockchain.info data is wrong on deep bit
Yes blockchain has always had trouble with Deepbit. There are several other mining pools hosted in germany which makes their blocks difficult to tag correctly + they don't tag their coinbase. I created a script to parse https://deepbit.net/stats but our server ip was blocked. |

I tried; however I changed my password to not require it (and it didn't work anyway). Also I inspected the authorization header value and it matched CURLs (curl -v) which did succeed. I don't even get an error, it just drops the connection on the ground.
I added some extra logging server side to help debug this if you could try the rpc call again. In the latter, the output script looks like any other. Is the note embedded in an input script, or it just an entry in a table at Blockchain.info?
Yes it is just a database entry now. Briefly messages were embedded in the blockchain but the Bitcoin-Qt developers were concerned about extra bloat so it was changed. On the Pingit page, would it be possible to clarify whether the fee specified is applied before or after the BTC exchange rate shown? e.g. now it says "Enter the amount to purchase in GBP. 1 BTC = £ 7.43 (5.97% Fee)" - I'm assuming that's £7.43 *after* 5.97% deducted, but would be good to be sure.
£7.43 is the buy price currently on gox, so that does not include the fee. On the order confirmation page it tells you the amount of BTC you will receive, if you divide the GBP amount by the BTC amount you will get the price per coin. Currently ~£7.79. In a week or two I will evaluate the margins and reduce the fee if possible, during the dip last week we got killed by the exchange rate. |

For anyone who would be interested in helping with translations I have put up some string templates on github: https://github.com/blockchain/Blockchain-TranslationsAt the moment only strings for the homepage have been extracted, when strings for the rest of the site are ready I will be putting up some bounties. |

Good question, I was just using getinfo as the most basic test. (EDIT: getbalance fails too) I get the same result if I use a bad password; however if I inspect the Authorization header it is the same that curl sends (on a correct password of course). I have tried most everything I can get my hands on, the specific gem was rpcjson, but I have some very basic test code that uses no gems (just standard Ruby calls) to try and debug this: http://pastie.org/5035939Because this works with curl and bitcoind your service is obviously working, I would just appreciate some help in debugging as I have no idea what else to do here (and perhaps you can see more than I can). I'll do a bit of debugging later tonight. Are you url encoding rpc_user & rpc_pass? Pingit limit restored to £250You must now verify your SMS number before purchase. This is to prevent a scam whereby a user is maliciously instructed to pay our barclays account, expecting to receive a product, but instead the scammer receives the BTC. |
