Blockchain.info and BlockExplore.com non-responsive

[Rygon]

Anyone else having issues with looking up transactions or addresses on the blockchain? I can't seem to do it from anywhere, and my Bitcoin-qt platform seems to think I need to upgrade even though I'm running the latest version. I'm a little nervous because I wanted to send a transaction, and I can't even double check that I have the BTC in the right address. Normally I could at least do that.

Not working for me as well.

Yeah there's issues with BC.info alright, been trying to access my web wallet for a while now...

Error I get from blockchain.info:

Communications link failure The last packet successfully received from the server was 2,325,915 milliseconds ago. The last packet sent successfully to the server was 2,315,876 milliseconds ago.

At least other people are having issues also. I don't know if that's normal or not.

I'm more worried about my bitcoin-qt wallet not syncing and giving the "Warning: Displayed transactions may not be correct! You may need to upgrade, or other nodes may need to upgrade." I suppose I could still send a transaction, I just don't have a way to verify it.

blockexplorer.com seems to be working AFAICT.

[velacreations]

blockchain.info is down for me, too

[greyhawk]

blockexplorer is timing iut in search requests as well now

Anyone know of any alternatives to blockchain.info.

I use their address balance lookup API to verify if payments have been sent, for example:
http://blockchain.info/q/addressbalance/XXXXXXXXXXXX?confirmations=6

But lately their server seems to be down a lot.

I just need to be able to lookup the confirmed balance of any given address.

I get : ERROR: unknown (Most likely my bitcoind stopped working or this page is too large/complex.)
when I try to search for a transection/ bitcoinaddress

That pretty much always happens. The other pages work, though.

Maybe use one as a fallback for the other.

[greyhawk]

Thanks. Direct requests go through almost instantly indeed.

I looked at that but the problem is the balance shows up even with zero confirmations (so it's not a "confirmed" balance)

[Timep34]

I was having a problem too and since i keep tried refreshing they said they blocked my IP temporarily for too many requests 

[CurbsideProphet]

You can tell its not working as the last transaction showing is over an hour and a half old.

down for me as well 

[c0dex]

It's been down for at least 2 hours for me.

Its stuck on the "CHANGING WALLET IDENTIFIER "... though I dont know why it would be changing anything o.0

That doesn't seem to work, for example:
http://blockexplorer.com/q/addressbalance/1Luo5XyHWJKG4nZ2nAT3GyZUV67CHYvNrw/50

That transaction only has 17 confirmations, but it still shows a balance when entering any confirmation number (50,100,1000, etc...)

Very Frustrating indeed!
