Why blockchain.info doesn't work nowadays?

[fox19891989]

Hi, I can't surf blockchain.info nowadays, it seems the BTC blockchain is stuck or is this the only problem of blockchain.info, is btc blockchain still working?(I think so, or btc was dumped to 0) 

[Meuh6879]

Look at my title, I didn't say it is down, i said it doesn't work, which means it can't show the txid, address on BTC blockchain, so the third post is correct, they are doing maintenance. 

Btw, thanks all the same.

blockchain.info is down for maintenance, but blockchain is working as usual.

Here are some alternatives you may try for...  

When you check an address balance or a transaction status online, which block explorer do you use ? If you run a service depending on a third party API, which block explorer's API you rely upon ?

Again not working.

We Will Be Back Shortly

Blockchain.info is currently down for maintenance. For status updates please see Twitter. Apologies for any inconvenience.

They had some issues yesterday but should be working now.

At least the maintenance signifies that management over there is seriously protecting their product against potential impending issues if left unchecked.

It wasn't only a couple minutes ago. Anyway, I'm on record that all was goin' be fine.

Did you take out some time and gave a look to their twitter handle? They stated over there that they are facing some database problems and that's why Site was down for maintenance. They even added over there that our Bitcoins are safe though. Blockchain is well up and running and I guess there won't be any such problems in the near future.
