Blockchain.info is offline, what's wrong?

[goldlyre]

Blockchain.info is currently offline, what's wrong? Is it a grave problem, or else only a minor one? Thanks.

Not sure.

If you need access to your funds and have the encrypted backups (e.g., sent via e-mail if you've configured it for that), then you can either import the wallet.json.aes into Multibit, or you can manually decrypt the private keys and import them into Bitcoin-Qt.

import of blockchain.info AES encrypted key to 0.8

Who would benefit from killing Bitcoin the most?

What makes you think they want to kill Bitcoin? Rather than NWO/Illuminati/Banksters conspiracy theories I think the more likely explanation is the DDOS hackers are working their way down a list of the biggest dealers in bitcoin trying to shake them down. Of course they love bitcoin, yet it is in everyone's interests (except the victims and the aforementioned NWO etc) that they attack it. Bitcoin must survive this baptism of fire if it is to prove itself.

Should not be long now until were back. Still investigating how the attacker was able to discover our real none-cloudflare IPs.

As a precaution I wiped my blockchain.info wallet using MultiBit and the latest encrypted backup I had.  Back to your offline wallet bitcoins, go on, get in there, go on now.

I keep my coins in a watched only address and import as needed.

I use blockchain to run a notification script that updates my database which in turn updates my website. with blockchain down does this effect the notification?

I would say yes.

The "this site is offline" message comes from the Cloudflare server service which I believe uses a technique to try and detect and prevent DDOS attacks on servers. It also throws up "false positives" from time to time as well. I just checked blockchain.info and could reach the site without any problems.

I really wish there were some other websites offering the same APIs as blockchain.info for some addedredundancy....

...for free also of course 

[claes88]

I have all my money in blockchain.info wallets... But I have saved the private keys in unencrypted format quite recently.

Can someone please help me with detailed instructions how I do to restore my wallet to the bitcoin client now?
