It is up now, just checked. Hope they will finally improve their security or whatever it take to we avoid those down times. I use it only for small transactions, but anyway it is annoying and i will think about better solution.

Blockchain.info has been "bad" for a long time now. Its unstable, poor API, lots of problems with it. I'm not sure why its so popular considering there are more popular and stable services out there.

I can confirm its down when I try to connect to it from canada.

Super weird. I hope people don't have funds trapped on it.

ALWAYS have backups of privkeys somewhere so you can still access your BTC even if the site is down.
Storing any sort of wealth only in a web wallet is going to lead to bad times. Always backup your privkeys!

same down for me too. i think just down, "Error 522" few hour ago i still can access it without problem.
anyway what actually happen to this site, always down this few day. is it been attacked or other thing?

[stingers]

Down for me too. Cloudflare shows that the server is down(HOST ERROR). I guess this is some kind of DDOS attack or something. They should be up soon.

Yup, it is down again. Luckily i have drained that account there and funds will wait in my mobile phone xapo wallet till delivery of trezor which i bought recently get to my door.

IDK if it is safe or not (there are some threads about blockchain.info is insecure and some members lost their funds there, but personally i never had such problem), but their down times are annoying as hell. Yesterday i needed to move something from them to other address but they were offline. Anyway, i bought trezor hardware wallet on Black Friday offer and will move most of my coins there when i got him.

I don't believe in the fact that people have "lost" funds on blockchain. Though I myself have experienced my coins getting lost there, but I was soon refunded by the blockchain people(and they gave some extra coins too).

Blockchain.info is back up for me. Still don't know exactly what went wrong
