Someone found a query which caused the wallets table to lock for a long time.

This has been causing problems with the Site for the last 24 hours, initially I though it was due to high load. Things should be smoother now.

The android/iphone and web client all use the api so are limited as well. You can view your current number of requests on the api page: http://blockchain.info/api - the 800 might actually be a little low.


Yep the DNS is round robin as well.


I think i've probably found the cause of this:

This transaction:

http://blockchain.info/tx-index/5567308/e1dab7fe6f9dc5d2ce9fa1947eb95cc02ab6e0a39fb2db34592331b61325800a

Is missing an input:

http://blockexplorer.com/tx/e1dab7fe6f9dc5d2ce9fa1947eb95cc02ab6e0a39fb2db34592331b61325800a

I don't know if this is the only one but I have an automated tool to fix inconsistencies like this which is running now.

New API Request limits in place (800 per hour or 150 per 5 minutes). You can view your current usage: http://blockchain.info/api

Each server has a separate primitive counter, so you can increase the limit by balancing your requests properly:

http://server1.blockchain.info/
http://server2.blockchain.info/
http://server3.blockchain.info/

Bug with kaptcha not validating should be fixed.

Still trying to find the issue with some transactions not being broadcast.

Having some issues with Bitcoind. Trying to diagnose now.

Edit: DDOS

No Sorry mining isn't supported.


What browser/os are you using? When you try and send are there any errors in the javascript console?

What browser/os are you using?

When you make a transaction is there any error displayed? Please open the javascript console (http://webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/8525/how-to-open-the-javascript-console-in-different-browsers) and check for any errors in there.

Also it might help to run the wallet integrity check to make sure all your keys are in order. Login click [Account Details] then under the heading 'Integrity Check' click [Run check]

I have checked the exception logs and can see no server side reason why your transaction is not being submitted.

This is the problem, deposits are restricted to one per user per month.

The payment never reached us because ZayPay blocked it, I have asked them to refund the order but it can take a while.

Sorry I'm quite behind with my emails.

Thanks for the ip I've added it to the database.

New JSON RPC API Available:

http://blockchain.info/json_rpc_api

Should be almost fully compatible with the Bitcoind RPC api so you can use your blockchain.info online wallet with any existing software which uses bitcoind.

Simple change -rpcconnect to point to blockchain.info and use your wallet identifier for -rpcuser and wallet password for -rpcpassword.

Be sure to read the security notes if you plan on using this.

Compressed private keys are not supported yet (I assume it begins with a L?). I need to read up on how the format has changed.

The day before the day after tomorrow.


Cheers.


Nobody used it, I guess Escrow is kind of useless without arbitration. If it does come back it will probably be in P2SH form.

Just a heads up that the site will be going down for maintain at around 10 PM GMT. Should only be a few minutes while I push up a new features.

I added a from address parameter to the api. Also you can now interchange a label and a bitcoin address (So both the to and from address can also be a label)

e.g.

https://blockchain.info/merchant/abf66471-fe0a-6820-8977-55d7e8c1f6b2/label_balance?password=$mypass&label=Donations

is analogous to:
 
https://blockchain.info/merchant/abf66471-fe0a-6820-8977-55d7e8c1f6b2/label_balance?password=$mypass&label=1AJbsFZ64EpEfS5UAjAfcUG8pH8Jn3rn1F

I called apple and they said it was removed due to violating App Store View Guideline 22.1, which is:


Initially the guy thought the app was for gambling, not sure why. But anyway he just told me i need to contact the legal department for an exact explanation of what laws it violates.

App is still available on Cydia: http://moreinfo.thebigboss.org/moreinfo/depiction.php?file=blockchainDp

Yeah this annoys me too. Cookies can be unreliable, I think i'll embed the currency symbol in the wallet or something.

I've received at least a dozen crash reports due to the CALayer bug. Molecular have you tried the Cydia 1.9.5 version? I haven't received any reports for that version.

Apple removed the app from the iTunes store last night, no explanation given:

Ok good to know. Seems 1dice has been dominating the list of blockchain.info transactions recently. I think it's great, something which couldn't be done with any other payment system.


I believe this is fixed in the Cydia version. Note: Although there have been updates to the Cydia version there probably won't be any updates to the app store version anytime soon.


After 24 hours unconfirmed they are automatically removed.


I use the bitcoincharts market api (http://bitcoincharts.com/about/markets-api/) which I believe uses the Mt.Gox CNY rate (http://bitcoincharts.com/markets/mtgoxCNY.html). The problem is the volume is very low for CNY.


I've removed the ip restriction for the moment. It was indented to stop someone spamming new wallets (as they can never be pruned) but clearly it is preventing legitimate signups.


As other have explained this is due to your transaction using a large number of small inputs. I can probably increase the limit to 32KB but the slow transaction signing will still remain (I find chrome to be much faster at signing inputs).

If i understand you correctly you need an easy way to import a private key into a wallet?

You can ago sweep a private key into a My Wallet account by appending #newpriv|${private_key} to the login url e.g.

https://blockchain.info/wallet/login#newpriv|BhGmdqTbfJ5c2hi5CmNkBhFB5QWMymJx7pRUcxCCKoDm

I don't know if thats what your looking for.

Google Drive Added. Needs testing.


I've added a new api call to check https://blockchain.info/rejected after tx send. If an error is found it will now give a reason why your transaction failed.

More Detail: When a transaction is pushed out it goes through some basic validity checks (using BitcoinJ) and is then pushed to Bitcoind for broadcast. As long as it passes the initial checks it is reported as sent but there are some conditions in which Bitcoind may subsequently reject it. The most common cause of this is when bitcoind's memory pool gets out of sync with the unconfirmed transactions in the SQL database e.g. when bitcoind is restarted.


Any tx's with outputs <= 0.001 BTC require a fee. Until recently i was not aware of this and the both the android and iPhone app do not factor this in when calculating the tx fee (the web interface does). Eligius does process low fee transactions for blockchain.info but there can be a delay of up to a few hours.

hmm ok. So is the transaction shown on the address page (https://blockchain.info/address/1HostFatgTXWdRmVoneC8M6ErhiuQ7An5o?)

Well that transaction originates from stoshidice. In what way does the transaction not work - Is the transaction you make not showing or the payout not showing?

Does satoshidice receive unconfirmed tx's and payout instantly from a different balance?
