You only get the emails if you use your wallet nickname - if you enter your wallet id then it should just work, unless you have specifically enabled IP lock in which case you need to login from that IP.

You can look up your wallet id by looking back in any of your emails - it's a long letter/number combination with dashes a bit like this:

a1a42652-0de0-4a14-9d1c-7ed30ecea224

Thanks for the tip. Glad I did not invest. So I take it this was some kind of hoax?

Hi,

I can't login to blockchain.info/wallet using 2FA (google authenticator)

I've checked http://blockchain.info/time for server time and it looks like it is about 35sec ahead.

My time is synced with European time server and appears to be correct - I've checked several devices and all display the same timing.

Does anyone else have this problem?

The post count to get out of Newbies was lowered from 5 to 1? I think that was a good change, basically everybody was making spam posts in the newbie forum to get up to five posts.

First there is a 256 bit private key.  This private key may be converted to Hex or Base58 for the purposes of display to humans in some cases, but internally the computer represents it in binary.

Then the computer computes a 256 bit public key.  This public key may be converted to Hex or Base58 for the purposes of display to humans in some cases, but internally the computer represents it in binary.

Then the computer calculates a 256 bit SHA256 hash of the public key.  This SHA256 hash may be converted to Hex or Base58 for the purposes of display to humans in some cases, but internally the computer represents it in binary.

Then the computer calculates a 160 bit RIPEMD-160 hash of the SHA256 hash value.  This RIPEMD-160 hash may be converted to Hex or Base58 for the purposes of display to humans in some cases, but internally the computer represents it in binary.

Finally the computer calculates a 32 bit checksum of the RIPEMD-160 value.  This checksum may be converted to Hex or Base58 for the purposes of display to humans in some cases, but internally the computer represents it in binary.

The computer concatenates a version number, the RIPEMD-160 hash, and the checksum.  This concatenated value is what is known as a Bitcoin Address.  It may be converted to Hex or Base58 for the purposes of display to humans in some cases, but internally the computer represents it in binary.
