Blockchain.info - Bitcoin Block explorer & Currency Statistics

This Mixer is sick! Thanks piuk!

One suggestion: When clicking on "Create Forwarding Address" - it wold be nice to also note 1.5% fee.

It is a little bit misleading at the moment: There is a big text on top saying: "FREE. Open Source, etc" and if you don't read the FAQ, you miss that 1.5% fee is present.

Does the bonus get credited after, and not deducted from the TX cost?

The bonus gets credited in a separate transaction back to the sending address. I'll be adding more clarification on exactly how the bonus system works shortly. The bonus will be a 0.5% if coins are need again in future.

edit: nevermind, i'm a paranoid burnout

Did you get the problem sorted out?

FYI, "All Time" doesn't work on this chart:
https://blockchain.info/charts/cost-per-transaction?timespan=all&showDataPoints=false&daysAverageString=1&show_header=true&scale=0&address=0

EDIT: This one seems problematic, too:
https://blockchain.info/charts/miners-operating-profit-margin?timespan=all&showDataPoints=false&daysAverageString=1&show_header=true&scale=0&address=

Bug report received, thanks.

I'm not seeing it in the USA app store.
I tried searching for both "blockchain" and "block chain"

I got an email from apple saying the app had been approved and would be in the store shortly. then about 20 minutes later they removed it from sale.

It is very strange and not normally how the review process works (I did not receive a notification email for the removal). I can only guess that a reviewer let it through then someone from management change their mind. I'm not sure why though as it really didn't contain any send / receive functionality.

Will Do.

I was trying to figure out why this graph had screwed up today: http://blockchain.info/charts/my-wallet-transaction-volume

But it turns out the huge volume is from this transaction http://blockchain.info/tx-index/11999735 which looks suspicously like it could be from the latest Bitcoinica hack. I don't know if the Bitcoinica hacker was using a My Wallet account or just choose to relay the transaction through our server but it is interesting none the less. Btw as far as i'm aware none of these funds were sent through the mixer.

So is the bonus still being offered?

No Sorry not at the moment.

Yes, thanks.

Apologies if this was answered, but how did you avoid the problem of people gaming the system? I'm looking at the "My Wallet Transactions" graph and in the last two days over a quarter million bitcoins were transacted, far in excess of the previous days' amounts.

I'm talking about someone who sends coins between two separate wallets to collect on the BTC reward (up to 1 BTC for anonymous sends). In theory, the current setup would allow someone to generate limitless profit (well, the limit is based on availability of anonymous send resources).

Apologies if this has been addressed already, but the transaction pages seem to be a lot less detailed than they used to be.  I used to be able to see the value of each input to a transaction as well as being able to see which outputs have been redeemed.  Also there were links on each input and output linking to the previous and next transaction in the chain - so I could easily go from an input to the transaction which the input came from.

Is there some way of getting the fuller-featured transaction pages back again?

At the bottom of the page, there is a link to enable advanced functionality. I'm not sure of a way to make it permanent.

That's great, thanks.  I hadn't noticed that.

I use a chrome 'search engine' to open blockchain.info at particular transactions.  The string I now use is:

http://blockchain.info/search?search=%s&show_adv=true

which seems to automatically turn advanced mode on each time.

So it means that the "My Wallet Transaction Volume" graph includes all transactions relayed by "127.0.0.1", and not just My Wallet transactions?

And is it right that it's impossible to distinguish whether an address belongs to My Wallet or someone who relays the transaction through Blockchain.info.

This is due to a series of few large transaction, there is not to stop someone gaming that graph (but it is only a graph)

I'm talking about someone who sends coins between two separate wallets to collect on the BTC reward (up to 1 BTC for anonymous sends). In theory, the current setup would allow someone to generate limitless profit (well, the limit is based on availability of anonymous send resources).

It only pays a bonus if coins the coins are needed for an existing fee paying mixing transaction. It is impossible for it to pay our more than 0.5% of the funds already "stuck" in the mixer.

It should save the preference in cookies, is it reverting back to normal functionailty?

Yes it is all transactions relayed by localhost including those submitted through the API or http://blockchain.info/pushtx.

Bonus is active

All anonymous transactions > 5 BTC have a negative 0.5% transaction fee.

anonymous transaction Q


requested 710 BTC at anonymous adress 15syHLFPwMfZxuz9kCPwoDkUjQ2rXWSSc6
that adress received those BTC.

now, almost two hours later, i only have these transactions TO my wallet, leaving me to wonder where the rest is:

http://blockchain.info/address/1MkCj66bxqJdDY7qk9i4k8zR8bHQJ3ezoN
http://blockchain.info/address/1CPsMfApBESxjvGrAD3tYA3TmUZghA7FvN

Am I expected to wait a little longer?

I can confirm it is pending, let me know if you would like the remainder sent back early. Sorry for the delay.

[2weiX]

 i always like to receive asap, but if this would defeat the purpose, I'll wait.

They should make stats about how much wallet there is in the network.

It's not possible for us to see the balance of wallets.

Couple of improvements have been made to the mixing alog.

- More randomness on split sizes.
- Taint Analysis increased to 500 outputs deep (50,000 initial outputs, 2000 queries maximum).
- Indirect taint threshold decreased to 1% (Down from 10%).
- Unused forwards now expire after 8 hours (reduced from 24).

do you charge 1.5% on anonymous receive addresses as well?

[piuk]

do you charge 1.5% on anonymous receive addresses as well?

Yes, I should clarify that.

Bonus currently active. However the increase of the output depth has made it much pickier about what addresses qualify, it is likely that if you send through any funds that have already passed through the mixer in 48 hours they will not qualify (a ~0.0002 BTC miners fee will be charged).

I tried this out with 3BTC expecting 3.015 back. So far I've gotten 2 tx back that total 2.9996. Was I charged the miners fee twice or am I just waiting for another tx of .0154?

Will it ever happen that it switches from bonus mode to charging mode after an address to pay is generated? Or does the right to a bonus stick with any address generated during bonus time?

 well, shit.
tried it out for fun with 700 btc
down 10.5btc now.
any chance to be refunded since the fee wasn't advertised?
