Please do generic Portuguese if you can (is there such a thing?). The template is on github.


I'm not sure that is really a bug. Why not enter a different label.


Sounds good. Often they are seem duplicate phrases but often have small changes (case, or slightly different wording).


Please give me time to review it.

Lots of javascript changes deployed today. If your experiencing any javascript errors refresh the page a few times to ensure the latest version is loaded.

- The My Wallet chrome extension has be rewritten and is now a fully packaged app including all javascript and html. This means it is fully protected from server side javascript changes. Just a fallback to a 3rd party server such as electrum is needed now to make it fully resilient.

Chrome Store: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/my-wallet/djjkppdfofjnpcbnkkangbhanjdnoocd
Source: https://github.com/blockchain/My-Wallet-Chrome-Extension

- A wallets' main password is now needed to view [Account Settings] if the password hasn't already been entered in the last minute.
- Wallet passwords are now stored in a closure object making them much harder (impossible?) to extract from a open wallet. You cannot do alert(password) anymore.
- After 5 minutes of inactivity (no mouse clicks or key presses) you will now automatically be logged out.
- Chinese transactions up.

This is available now.


The easiest way is to use Multibit (https://multibit.org) which can import blockchain wallets without any modification.


There is essentially no difference. But the mnemonic is case insensitive, never contains symbols and has a checksum so is more suitable for writing down.


True, it is an optional feature. Viewing the mnemonic now requires entering the main and second password so anyone hoping to grab it would have to know the password anyway. Really I am just trying to noob proof the site a bit.


I have added that phrase on the signup page and in the mnemonic popup now. I think it is pretty clear now.
 

Can do.


Sorry I did look into this briefly but could not find the problem immediately (I do receive the callback to a test script). I will fully test it by the end of the week.


This is handled by out payment processor (http://zaypay.com/). I don't know what would cause this problem but you will not have been charged.

The limit for a single unconfirmed transaction is ~10 BTC and ~25 BTC simultaneous unconfirmed paid out at any one time. There have been two double spends in 6 months, both using methods mentioned in this thread.

Thanks, Bounty paid. However if you would like to claim the bounty for a bug report please file a github issue.


Spanish up now. I normally deploy updates once every 2 days.


sorry I must have missed that, I will take a look shortly.


tab I think would be better.


Thanks John, Bounty paid.


Will fix shortly.

The problem of forgotten passwords

As Blockchain's user base is increasing and more non-technical users are joining there has been an increased amount of people forgetting their password. It is frustrating trying to explain why we cannot reset passwords each time.

To counter this all new wallets will now be shown a recovery Mnemonic. This should be written down and kept secure.



If you record this we will be able to recover the wallet should the password (or identifier) be forgotten. With a few caveats:

- When the wallet password is changed a new Mnemonic needs to be recorded.
- If Double encryption is enabled two Mnemonics must be recorded.

The mnemonic includes a checksum to verify it was copied correctly. For existing wallets the Mnemonic can be found in [Account Settings].



If you don't record the Mnemonic or make a paper backup and forget the password there is nothing we can do to help, the coins are lost.

Can do.


The tooltip requires a mouseover event to stay open. Seems it needs to be replaced with a click for touch screens.


There is now a note parameter in the send api.


This isn't possible to change as it requires refreshing the page. Blockchain can never remember the password, since it's client side, so always requires re-logging when the page reloads.

If you look at the propagation data e.g. http://blockchain.info/inv/69d689f000f59d2a9c082e50f8c6e2eb2de3a6e67dc56a13c2e7f0bd78862763 does your ip appear on the list? Sergio's method can be used to fine a list of ip's like this to find the true sender, even if it wasn't the first to relay it. If the node does not have a direct connection at all it still won't work though. In my opinion it is not a very severe issue but does make it easier to track transactions.

In practice this is difficult to do accurately due to network latency and the fact that many nodes don't accepting incoming connections.

Using Sergio's method you could for example log the first 10 nodes to relay a transaction then pole each node with a penny flood transaction in order to accurately determine which one was the true sender. I may have a go implementing this to improve blockchain.info's relayed by accuracy.

Indeed I do


Should be fixed now.

I am going to package up a new version for Cydia this weekend. The app store update will not be available for a while.


The API is currently not compatible with two factor authentication. This may be changed soon though.


I think the language drop box is hidden on the phone display because it makes the header too large and causes it to wrap to two lines. In order for this to be fixed the header needs to be changed to a dropdown menu.

--------

Export transaction history in csv and xls format.

This is available on address pages and on the transactions tab in wallets (grey button near sent / received filter)



Add private notes to transactions

These are stored in your encrypted wallet and are purely client side. Different from public notes which are server side.



- Japanese & Spanish translations up

Please could PM me your email and I will check the SMTP logs.

Agh It's happening as mike predicted. As I had already given John the go ahead, he will get the bounty if he still wishes to finish, Sorry finway. Please contact me before starting any work to avoid conflicts like this, its not a race to finish first.

Perfect, thank you. Bounty paid.

I believe it should be be "A chart showing the total number of unique bitcoin transactions per day excluding those which involve any of the top 100 most popular addresses"

The order of strings in the json files does not matter (as long as the nesting hierarchy is maintained). Sorry that the file formats are a bit of a pain.


Looks good however for the moment I would like to stick with bounties since the the response has been great so far. If a some tasks split into full projects which require proposals, bidding etc I will certainly consider CIYAM.


Added Slovenian & Turkish. I am open to accepting new languages not on the initial list if a translator is available.

This issue is very severe http://www.insinuator.net/2013/01/rails-yaml/ however as blockchain does not use rails it does not affect us. Three popular hosted wallets do use rails however if they are on the ball they will have already updated.

Is it address 1GNvHH5epzxa7iL8oVVt7Pcgpu5eGbyRcD that you would like the tag removed?

Any bugs.


If anyone would like to volunteer to do Traditional I will add it however for the moment as I am happy with it at least being semi readable.

Regarding partial translations, it might be difficult to resolve which string are translated and which have been omitted and might be easier to start from scratch. Or I need to make a better tool to keep track of this.

Added bounty for an exchange bot. This should be an interesting one for someone.

Could the 2000 blocks be mined at a lower difficulty to crash clients during the initial blockchain download?

Replied via PM. Added Indonesian template.


Point taken, I'll try and coordinate it so two people are not working on claiming the same bounty. For the Android App redesign, which is much more involved, one person will be chosen and provided with a design brief / project specification. If nobody is interested I will probably post the job on elance or something.

Offering some development bounties to help with improvements to the Site:

Create a bot run at fixed time intervals whose job it is top up a target bitcoin address to a specific value.

- The bot should a number (configurable) of open orders staggered below the market price.
- When balance of the target address drops the bot should move the open orders closer to the lowest ask price.
- If the balance of the address exceeds the target balance the bot should cancel all open orders.
- When orders are filled the bot should place new orders.
- If the balance of the target address drops 50% below the target balance simple market orders should be placed.
