Blockchain.info - Bitcoin Block explorer & Currency Statistics

[dothebeats]

Hello. I was just wondering if you could help me with my problem.
I have a privkey from my previous android wallet and I'm thinking of importing it on my blockchain.info wallet. Is there any way that I can do this? If there is, can you help me achieve it? I'm working on it for a few hours now and I couldn't look for a method that gets the job done.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

What's the best way to embed a note in the transaction? And the note can only be read by receiver.

thanks

Yes, please don't create lots of unspendable scriptPubKeys. There are more prunable ways of embedding messages into transactions. And there are even better ways of associating messages with transactions, so only people involved with the transaction can read the message (if that's desired).

In other words, lets figure out how to do this the right way. The way you're doing it now will stop working as soon as the network upgrades anyway (0-value outputs are nonstandard as of the 0.7 release).

The method Gavin was probably talking about is the Payment Protocol, which was still in development at the time of his comment.

BIP70 only supports request. What about send?
BIP70 also requires request party has a CA and url. A lot of p2p won't have those.

Looks like FF and Chrome store history of paper backup made with web wallet.

BE CAREFUL!

There's no good way to embed a message in a bitcoin transaction. Sorry. Why do you require that?

BIP70 also requires request party has a CA and url. A lot of p2p won't have those.

It doesn't require a SSL certificate, it's extensible so you could use GPG identities, but trust networks aren't very well established.

Perhaps if you told us what exactly you were trying to do, we could be more helpful?

I have a question about the blockchain.info wallets. Some months ago i created 8 wallets for relatives to make them known bitcoins. Now a relative is asking me why he cant login anymore. The login page shows that i should put in the code for the wallet. When i do it i get the error message: ""Authorisation needed. Please check your mail" or so. The mail account attached to this doesnt show the emails anymore, which i dont understand since i deleted the spam mails and let the other mails live. Though i only find the spam mails in bin.

Anyway. When i try to recover then i put in the mnemonic code and it shows me the password. Unfortunately it doesnt matter when i dont get a formfield to put the pass into.

Then i tried to resend the activation email. Only thing is... it doesnt show up in my mail account.

Is web.de having a problem with bitcoins so that it deletes such mails without warning?

I dont get it.

I have a similar problem with my bc.i wallet. Haven't used it for several months, but tried last week and couldn't gain access. It keeps asking for a 2FA code which I don't have (previously just used the email confirmation code). However, I only have a few thousand bits on there which is not significant. But something has broken with this service, which worked great in the past.

Not to hijack the thread (I don't think it's monitored anymore), but in the meanwhile you could have a look at:

It seems that no one at Blockkchain.info is reading this thread.  Which would be OK, if the "feedback" button on their site did not at one time link to here.

They could at least post an official "thread closed" message here and lock the thread.  Then people who have questions and suggestions about their site would only have to wait for their blog to start working.

Renewing warning against storing private keys in Blockchain Wallet. Rob at Gli.ph claims their API generated a new address/private key when I first linked it to Blockchain (with whitelisted IP), but that address (https://blockchain.info/address/1EKqFXn3UmaZaJP5swqCUm3mbpdp63VhwR) never showed up, so I couldn't have deleted it, by accident (an 8 step process) or otherwise. The first time I saw that address was when he PMed it to me after I complained about his 0.001 not being received at any address in my Blockchain Wallet. He swears up and down that it's working correctly, but clearly it isn't, if private keys are ever getting erased without the possibility of user input.
