Blockchain.info

[Dissonance]

Perhaps you're using TOR? I've never had this problem before, but maybe Blockchain.info is now trying to prevent people from using their service for illegal purchases/services?

If this problem persists, I suggest you either:

1. Use a VPN if you really really like blockchain.info and will die without it
2. Use another online wallet like coinbase, or use bitcoin core.

Not using proxy, not using tor, not using a vpn.  I am not a spammer or hacker or anything like that.  I did e-mail them backasking why I was banned in the first place but they did not reply .  I am however fully unblocked now but it is strange I was blocked to begin with.

Thanks again for the help they e-mailed me back in 10 minutes and unbaned me....wonder why i was banned to being with.

Reply to the email they sent you and ask but i'm just happy to hear this all worked out well for you.

This should also be a lesson to you that you should always remove your coins offline when logging off for the day.
As long as you know how to create them securely paper wallets are a good creap option or i world advise you to invest in a Trezor, Lendger or any other hardware wallet that suites your needs.

Yea I keep my coins spread among  different locations. I keep some coin on blockchain.info because I prefer their andriod app and use it like a checking account.  I should probabaly get a good hardware wallet and keep some coin there too.

I always keep large sum or most of my bitcoin in electrum wallet which is much like having own bitcoin node. feel more secured than all those online wallet like blockchain and coinbase. However blockchain.info also provide good service. Always try to spread your coins in different wallets and also keep private key of all the addresses you use.

Just in case something happens like this in the future, and you need urgent access to your coins, I recommend exporting your private keys and importing them to a Encrypted desktop wallet like Electrum or MultiBit HD for save keeping. You never know - They could ban your IP again or get shut down for whatever reason or they might get DDoSed, which would remove access from your BlockChain.info wallet.

I did the same when they upgraded the site. Many features were and are still missing which is why i want ot have full control over my addresses.
It's not a trust issue though, i do entrust them with a small stash of my coins.

good that your problem was solved , but this is really a strange thing and they didn't answer why they blocked your IP
we are hearing more people complaining about online wallets , almost everyday a new topic is opened discussing issues about these sites especially blockchain
I'm not a big fan , but people should stop using these wallets

Well I do think online wallets have their place and blockchain.info has a great andriod app.  But I agree its best not to but a ton of money in them and use them like a checking account.
