Blockchain.info wallets down

[BestWebCreator]

Again blockchain.info is down, this time they have disabled everything.
When I login to my wallet it doesn't even load the btc balance.

They should have made a announcement on the site and not scare the shit out of me, fortunate I saw this message on twitter: "We're currently investigating some issues with our Wallet & Block Explorer. Thanks for your patience while we look into this further."

I have learned to not use an online service anymore, can't trust it with all the money I have in bitcoin..

It is working normally now , they were just investigating some issues with their block explorer , that what they said on their twitter account , I think you should not be aware of that , because it confirms that blockchain wallet team monitor everything happen to keep our money safe .

It's working now, but at least they inform us of what is happening to the wallet.

Yes that is true, but I shocked because I got alot of errors with viewing my balance so I thought it was gone or something, fortunately it was just a research they were doing. I will follow their twitter and check there first before stressing about the money I have there.

Its up now. No need to panic its just an common issue with blockchain.info. its caused because of the high load om servers.

I think they would earn much more in long term run so no need to steal and take our money, there are times they are down but I doubt
They will ever scam people because as said it already they earn more.

Although this new wallet of blockchain.info has a pretty solid security for an online wallet, it still remains an online wallet which means you have to rely on third party to hold the bitcoins for you and you need to access this third party website in order to do your transaction of bitcoins. This may sound like some thing convenient to a newbie but anyone who has better knowledge should know that desktop wallets are much more reliable for example Electrum has pretty solid reputation and security. Anyone in my view should change to desktop wallets, its very easy to install them and electrum has an extensive documentation to help you get started and even help with cold storage for the advanced users.

the became normal that blockchain goes down from time to time. it happened last Feb for some hours too. people should export their paper wallets from their and store them in a safe place to be able to access their funds when the site is down

why you actually like to upgrade, if you think older version is enough for your need. I haven't seen any link to downgrade as i have already upgraded my blockchain.info account. But i think new wallet have better user interface and smoothness.
