Blockchain.info - Bitcoin Block explorer & Currency Statistics

[GCInc.]

Problem with Firefox and Chrome seems to be ongoing. Access to wallet functions is being blocked due to "too many requests from IP". Opera can access wallet, but can not spend.

[SgtSpike]

I'm getting an error.... "toString(): value: [ReferenceError: Bitcoin is not defined]"

This is when I use the custom dialog box to send from a specific address with a miner's fee added (it warned me about it being a low priority transactions).  I haven't tried it without the fee.

EDIT:  This was in FireFox.  I tried it in Chrome, it worked just fine.  Any ideas why this would happen?

[piuk]

Yeah, it means the bitcoins that were only issued and not moved since. All the bitcoins that moved since their issuance you plot on the graph when they must the last time.

Or in other words: The coinbase transaction creates coins at a certain block chain height. Every other transaction moves them to a new block chain height.

block 100: coinbase 50Ƀ -> A (add 50Ƀ to "100")
block 200: 50Ƀ of A -> 29Ƀ to A, 10Ƀ to B, 10Ƀ to C (ignore input to A, B, C, fee. Just remove 50Ƀ from "100" and add them to "200")
block 300: 10Ƀ of B -> X, Y (Move the 10Ƀ of B from "200" to "300")

Ok I understand I'll try and add the chart this weekend.

Was playing around with the charts and stats on Blockchain.info and thought this was interesting so will share it here:

Interesting chart, thanks. Bitcoin-Qt will always be an integral part of the bitcoin network i'm not sure 0.8 will be enough though, only the move to a database of unspent tx outputs or SPV will vastly improve synchronisation time (Perhaps 0.9?).

piuk, I have a couple of privacy questions.

Let's say I enable notifications but then after a while I disable them. My question is, after I turn them off, any new key pairs I generate, can blockchain.info see the Bitcoin addresses and tie them to my email I had previously notification enabled to?

Also, is using an email for sending backs in anyway diminishing the privacy of my Bitcoin addresses?

Thanks in advance for taking the time and answering these questions!

When you disable notifications all the hashed public keys should be removed from the server on next sync. So if you generate a new bitcoin address it should not be possible to tie it to the old addresses.  But Adding an email does inherently diminish privacy because the more information you provide the more data that could be used to build a "profile" on you. If there is really an address you want kept private I would recommend creating a new disposable wallet through tor or a using mixer address.

Searching for transactions has stopped working.

For instance:  http://blockchain.info/search?search=a511bea3b5dc09609c4853d817cde909fdcdc06cc9558500f155ca821d0d511b shows:



and the blockchain.info home page, with a list of recent blocks.

Apologies, scaling issues. On a related note some more RAM is being installed this weekend (No downtime expected).

I am also currently having problems sending from my blockchain.info wallet.

When I try to send, I get the message: "Insufficient funds. Value needed XXX BTC. Available amount xxx BTC"

I have well over the amount needed to send.

I see no errors in the Javascript console.

My blockchain.info address: 1EBAmwYHGpbXJ7tRx9jqr8KV4X2DfLFNqm

Is this error resolved? It may have been a temporary issue due to some of outputs being locked after failing to broadcast a transaction.

Hey,

I installed the new android app (https://twitter.com/blockchain/status/298277650865197057) but it doesn't seem to update with my transactions so I'd like to revert to the old one until it's a bit more stable.

Does anyone have the old APK file anywhere so I can reinstall?

Cheers,

Will

Please try version 3.31 (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=piuk.blockchain.android) released today and let me know if the issues are not fixed.

Push notifcations can now be enabled or disabled in account settings:



Android 2.2 and larger tablets are now also supported. https://i.imgur.com/VGEZUbe.jpg

Are you using a shared IP such as tor? Do you by any chance have the "tapatalk notifier" chrome extension installed?

Thank you for the report. Does the error continue to appear using FF?

Not so far, but I can't really send out an identical transaction either.  But trying it to one of my own addresses with a miners fee worked just fine.

While creating custom single-recipient outgoing transaction, in both FireFox 13 and Chrome 24.0.1312.56, two of my wallets show

"Insufficient funds"

message and quote less than 30% of the actual listed wallet Final Balance as available for sending. Receive Money
panel values add up to the Final Balance correctly. Have not encountered this problem up to 10:10am ET today. Should I be worried?

Thank you BlockChain devs for the great service!

The problem is still there, both in FireFox 13 (w/o Blokchain add-on) and Chrome 24.0.1312.56

It may have been a temporary issue due to some of outputs being locked after failing to broadcast a transaction.

Doesn't look like usual temporary output lockup.

This issue seems to be resolved - at least for me.  I was able to successfully make two send transactions today with things appearing to be back to normal - again, for me at least.

Thank You for looking into this.

Please try version 3.31 (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=piuk.blockchain.android) released today and let me know if the issues are not fixed.

I couldn't install the app on my Nexus7, then I read the description:  

*** Please uninstall the old Blockchain app ***

- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=piuk.blockchain.android

And since the old app no longer appeared in the list of My Apps, I had to use the Apps management from Settings:

So just thought I'ld share that.

Is this error resolved?

Tried 3rd, long-untouched wallet, both in FireFox 13 (w/o Blokchain add-on) and Chrome 24.0.1312.56 it gives error message "Insufficient Funds", while Received Funds correctly sum up to the Current Balance.

Junko, may I ask you what browser/plugin combination you have used for these two transactions?

I suspect this error was due to the bitcoinjs javascript failing to down fully. I cannot reproduce it at the moment but will add a better error detection to detect the cause in future.

The problem is still there, both in FireFox 13 (w/o Blokchain add-on) and Chrome 24.0.1312.56

Has your bitcoin address received a lot of very tiny transactions? This is likely the cause.

I have altered the transaction output logic to prefer large value outputs over old outputs when the number of available outputs is very large. Please try again now.

Yep, the old app needs uninstalling. This is due to stupidity on my part, I forgot the password to the certificate used to publish the original app and without it it's not possible to submit updates. So unfortunately a new app had to be created.

Thank you for your attention to this issue!

Right, this is the case. Now I'm also getting a warning

Code:

"This wallet contains a very large number of unspent outputs. Please consolidate some outputs".

May I ask how can I  "consolidate some outputs"?

I have altered the transaction output logic to prefer large value outputs over old outputs when the number of available outputs is very large. Please try again now.

Have you imposed a hard limit of 100 outputs per transaction by any chance? Is there any way to relax it to, let us say, 200? I think there was a hard limit of 250 some time ago, but it was dropped afterwards, if I'm not mistaken?

[piuk]

May I ask how can I  "consolidate some outputs"?

By sending yourself some transactions. For example if a bitcoin address has 100 0.001 BTC outputs you could send yourself one 0.1 BTC transaction to combine the 100 outputs into one. The problem is it may end up costing more in transaction fees than the inputs are worth.

Yes this is correct. The limit was reduced to 100 as some users where reporting problems with very large transactions not confirming and incurring unexpectedly high fees. I've adjusted the limit to 200 now, this should be enough for the vast majority of transactions.

I have a feature request. Could you please be slightly more verbose about all the charts? Could you please add a chart that shows the count of addresses that actually hold coins?

I will add this chart and the one suggested previously at the weekend.

Would it be possible to have a similar chart but only count the number of addresses that hold a balance above a certain threshold (e.g. only count addresses with 1 btc or more). If the threshold was user configurable that would be perfect.

Thanx Piuk You really rock! I wish I had time and motivation to get my hands dirty with the block chain.

Would it be possible to have a similar chart but only count the number of addresses that hold a balance above a certain threshold (e.g. only count addresses with 1 btc or more). If the threshold was user configurable that would be perfect.

Good idea. Guess to be consistent with the other graphs this will be more like >1cɃ, >1Ƀ, >100Ƀ

By sending yourself some transactions. For example if a bitcoin address has 100 0.001 BTC outputs you could send yourself one 0.1 BTC transaction to combine the 100 outputs into one. The problem is it may end up costing more in transaction fees than the inputs are worth.

What you could add is an option to purge and ignore 1 satoshi inputs. The gamblers may have thousands of those, and just tossing .00001000 BTC in the bin would be easier than trying to get them out of a wallet.

Even smarter would be to include as much dust input in transactions as would be allowed for same fee, starting from the smallest amounts, but you'd have to talk to Bitcoin, simulating several transactions, to optimize fee-finding.
