How do I remove an address from my wallet? It's a watch-only address that I no longer use and it's getting irritating having Bitcoins sent to it every time I make a transaction.

I've been using the full address API to resolve Firstbits addresses, but the request time grows linearly to the amount of transactions associated with that address. Can you add a new API method or just a small switch to only resolve the address? I get faster request times, and you reduce unnecessary server load. Win/win!

You can use

/q/getfirstbits/$address

find the firstbits from an address

or

/q/resolvefirstbits/$firstbits

to find the address from firstbits

Those calls are used in the javascript client, not sure why I haven't document them.

Those work great, thanks.

I believe it's in the QR code modal window.

Aha, found it. Thanks.

Here the total received metric is counting 5 BTC twice, giving 11 instead of a total of 6. I guess it's technically correct, but it's not as though any extra wealth was added to that address from the second transaction that wasn't already there before. So for human understanding, maybe it makes more sense to ignore that in the calculation. What do people think?

I just followed the way blockexplorer does it. It would only be a two line change but might be confusing to people comparing block explorer and blockchain.info.

** Couple of Updates **

New Beginner friendly inline tooltips, beginners FAQ and special help text for new wallets.

Depreciated Escrow Transactions - Nobody was using them. I don't know if demand for P2SH will also be similar.

Automatic Email backups whenever you update your wallet. Particularly useful if your using the iphone/android app which doesn't have the "send email backup" button. Restricted to a maximum of 5 emails per day.

iPhone app available in thebigboss.net Cydia repo (http://moreinfo.thebigboss.org/moreinfo/depiction.php?file=blockchainDp) (I haven't given up on the app store yet).

Thank you to all the bug reporters.

Ive just given the android app a try. Im impressed. This looks awesome.

Two minor issues:

- When sending or receiving  there is this bubble message popup thingy that stays on much too long IMO, even after switching apps.
- I keep getting an error about being unable to download transactions (also popup bubble). Not sure why, or what it even means, it seems to work fine.

Just updated to the version on Cydia.. found a bit of a bug.. issue logged to Github

My old wallet data was wiped on the upgrade.

So I went to pair device and loaded up my-wallet on the desktop, I tried to use the QR code to pair and the iPhone app came back with an error that the password was too short.

With no other means of entering the identifier, I cannot restore my old wallet onto the phone.

Love the app by the way.. especially the ability to display balance in USD, very nice.

Edit: Not only can I not pair the device but I cant create a new wallet either (problems with Captcha and Exception with syncing).. So app is unusable right now

Is your password at least 10 characters in length? I've just noticed the android app is not enforcing this properly so there could be an issue there.

Found the possible cause of this, to do with session replication between tomcat instances. It should be fixed now.

[slothbag]

Creating a new wallet is fixed and is working now. Thanks.

However trying to pair device is still not working.  Basically I scan the QR code and it instantly comes back saying password needs to be at least 10 characters even though it never asked me for one.

FWIW I had a 10 character password and it still complained. Made it 11 long and it worked. I guess it must be more than 10, rather than at least 10?

** New fraud prevention with SMS deposits, only one purchase per customer per month.

Why this restriction was not posted in FAQ?

I tried to deposit for the second time from my mobile, and now I have been charged, but no bitcoins...
Tried to send coins to 1MAG3UzbzEK6YHLsXsNwdnCNhXubVeWZdg
Not cool...

Why this restriction was not posted in FAQ?

It is in the FAQ and It will now display an error if you try and make a second order. You should not be charged the second time. If you are please let me know and I will contact the payment provider to reimburse you (because the payment doesn't reach us).

[slothbag]

Thanks P4man, I changed my password to > 10 chars and now the device pairing on iOS is working.

OK, just checked my current balance, and YES, I was charged for the second SMS, but I didn't get the coins.

What kind of info should I send you to proof my second SMS was charged?

[D.H.]

Small bug (or just something annoying): The box that pops up when mouse is held over e.g. "My Transactions" is not visible, or just half visible, if your screen resolution is too low. Nothing else on the page requires a high screen resolution so I don't think that that little thing should. Also, those boxes behave a bit weirdly if you quickly move the mouse your mouse to the left, e.g. from Receive money to Send money. The box disappears and the cursor is no longer a hand.

I manually completed your order. If you do get a refund from the provider please forward the BTC back.

I should probably remove the tooltips from the navigation buttons, they are a bit annoying. Btw D.H. Sorry it is taking me so long to get the translations organised - I have not given up on it.

No problem mate, you're doing a great job.
