Blockchain.info - Bitcoin Block explorer & Currency Statistics

[hazek]

whereas a packaged extension is full proof.

Can you explain a bit more how this is so?

Can you explain a bit more how this is so?

The javascript is bundled with the app, so it is downloaded once when installed rather than being downloaded each visit from blockchain.info. The purpose of the verifier was to detect possible changes in javascript being served but since the js is no longer being downloaded its purpose is voided.

There is the possibility that malicious changes can still be bundled within the extension but the same issue is possible with desktop clients. Automatic updates can be disabled also.

I see. That really is an improvement in security. Can't wait for the firefox addon!

Piuk,

I would like to tell you that I really appreciate your work on Blockchain.info.
It's great sensation when you post here about new features.
Thanks.

Could you list your TODO list. I really would like to know what is the blockchain.info future.

Re: lastpass

You can tell LP to save all input and then it works fine.

But what I mean is, the outputs listed don't add up to the total (1 BTC vs 1.001 BTC). Or is that because the .001 btc is a fee (I thought fees were 0.005)?

Lately, when I login to my wallet or click the refresh tx button in top-right corner I get to see a red(pink) message popup saying
"Error Decrypting Wallet. Please check your password is correct."  Despite this, everything else appears to work - even creating
and signing transactions.

It sure does seem from your screenshot that the fee is indeed 0.001.

If there is other evidence that the fee was indeed 0.005 (or 0.0005), then there may
be a bug, but you'd have to be explicit about what the fee really was - as opposed to
what you merely thought it was.

You don't know that you can set bitcoin fees to anything you want? The fee depends on the coin dust-ness, freshness of inputs, tx size per KB.

No verifier extension installed on this particular computer or Chromium and running Chromium Version 22.0.1215.0 (147829). Still cannot seem to get this to work for whatever reason.

Sorry not sure what the problem would be. Anyone else running Chromium that can test it?

Confirmed: Cannot install Blockchain.info extension on Chromium.

EDIT: Disregard that, Chromium was outdated and was on version 20, which was before the Chrome devs allowed unsafe eval.

Updated to chromium version 23. It does not work, after installing and clicking on 'My Wallet' I see the sensitive data popup, the account settings page, and no I'm not even signed in. Obviously the wallet isn't working.

Two warnings when installing (load unpacked) - Unrecognized manifest key api_console_project_id and container.

Piuk,

Could you create a chart showing total of Bitcoins there are in the tagged addresses?

Thanks

Just went to use the new note feature today, it is slick.

However for some reason my note window was not going away, so perhaps adding a close button like on transactions?

Examples of the Note window hover over others:

Posting to say that you should fix the translations, the italian one is a bit... mmhh... let's say not exactly correct. There are errors and some phrases that even if they aren't technically wrong, they are weird. Whenever i use that site (wich i like really a lot btw) i always go for english language because of that

[hazek]

piuk, do you think you could add a chart that plots what can be seen here?: http://statistics.ecdsa.org/

There's no need for the animation, a static current chart would do.

I'd be interested in that chart too. The one linked above doesn't seem up to date.

Yes that's a great milestone. Well done it's a fantastic service.

Pretty much the definition of hockey stick growth with the acceleration around the end of last year.


Maybe 200,000 before June this year? Looking forward to 1 million, anyone want to make a prediction when that'll be?

An improved Italian translation should be up now.

Can do. But what is the definition of unspent? Literally the value of coinbase transactions which have never been spent?

Thanks everyone Shows word of mouth can be quite powerful when the Site has never really had any proper advertising. Over 3TB of bandwidth used this month.

Could you list your TODO list. I really would like to know what is the blockchain.info future.

The next few things planned are:

- Bring the android app up to scratch (it is being worked on as we speak).
- Electrum Fallback.
- Windows 8 phone & Windows 8 apps.
- API to allow merchants/payment processors to create Payment Requests.
- Blockchain wallet apps (more details soon).

For now some new stuff:

QR Code scanner now available on send forms:



It can be used to scan a URI or plain bitcoin address, off a bitpay invoice for example.



Browser based wallet backups

The latest wallet backup will now be kept in the browsers local storage and can be downloaded from the login page. If two factor authentication is enabled caching is disabled by default but can to be enabled in [Account Settings]  with the "Always Keep Local Backup" option.



Instructions for restoring will be shown:



Deposit transactions will now have a reference attached:



The limit for PingIt and Bank transactions has been increased to £2000 / week, with a maximum single purchase of £500.

Http callback notifications available for all wallets



Firefox Addon available for testing

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/my-wallet/

Emphasis on testing since there are several known things not working.
