Blockchain.info is currently offline, what's wrong? Is it a grave problem, or else only a minor one? Thanks. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fimg1.soufun.com%2Falbum%2F2013_04%2F18%2F1366255817838_000.jpg&t=665&c=h9FWLPUGURJ6Ww)

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.

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.

Bitcoin Fact: the price of bitcoin will not be greater than $70k for more than 25 consecutive days at any point in the rest of recorded human history.

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?

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 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?
