The new one sux.

I actually agree with MPOE-PR for once... I prefer the old one.

[DeepBit]

The old one is much better.

Old one is way better. Is the rubix cube copyrighted?

[Rassah]

I like the old one too. More colorful. It's not even the design, it's the monotone blue that feels too cold.

[Mushroomized]

Maybe with some huge tower on the logo? The blockchain is like a giant robot that everyone listens to...

[fimp]

piuk, can you reveal the volume going through your anonymizer? More specifically, I'm wondering how many bitcoins can realistically come from the same source per day without those coins getting mixed with themselves.

Yes, that is why a new one is needed. It's not urgent though.

[picobit]

Why don't you take the cube apart, and make a chain of colored blocks.  Then you can write blockchain alongside it.  :-)

I am hopeless at drawing, but I hope you see what I mean.

Feedback wanted on possible new logo. What one is better?



vs original:

i like the new one!

Piuk,

I think will be more interesting if the informations of Transactions Summary not be on a popup window. I would like to see it on a click to expand/collapse.

What do you think?

I was wondering when you would be running into this issue since I first saw the explicit Rubics-white-center-with-text but how about fixing the white center and changing the hue of the whole thing? Or making two center pieces blue? With 2 center pieces of the same color it would obviously not be a Rubics cube

Piuk,

Something strange is happening on transaction summary.
The (you received) value is exacly = (value at time of transaction). This happens even on old transactions. Sometimes if I click again to open the transaction summary, the value show correctly.

Coins will never be mixed with themselves, they will just sit until clean funds are available. So If you start sending through enough funds that transactions are getting significantly delayed then you are hitting the limits. However the bonus can be activated to get everything moved through.

Thanks, i will look into it. Also thank you for the suggestions, I will revisit them soon.

It's not bad, but it still has the amateurish look of the original logo. I've given everyones feedback to the designer, lets see if he can come up with something better.

Thanks, i will look into it.

Update:

1- I see that opening the transaction summary with short interval of time make the value show wrongly
2- If I wait for example a minute, and reopen the transaction summary, the value may show correctly again.
3- (Value at time of transaction) always show the correct information

Couple of updates:

- Improved synchronisation to prevent double spends from occurring when submitting a high volume of transactions.
- Merchant API now supports compressed private keys.
- Fee parameter added to send API.
- Ability to supply a private key directly to the API to send funds without needing a My Wallet account.
- Improvements to Bitcoind status monitoring (https://blockchain.info/status_check). Recently two nodes feel behind causing an error "cannot find map prev tx" error when trying to submit certain transactions.

- Ability to supply a private key directly to the API to send funds without needing a My Wallet account.

The instructions for that:

You can now replace the guid in the send api (https://blockchain.info/api/api_send) with a Hex encoded private key.

$address = destination bitcoin address.
$amount = amount to send in satoshi.
