Blockchain.info - Bitcoin Block explorer & Currency Statistics

[Sonny]

Why are the transaction amounts shown defaulting back to my local currency (EUR) instead of BTC? Since a week or so this is happening most of the time and it's getting really annoying that the site doesn't remember my preference for BTC and I have to click on the amount to change it back to BTC. By the way, why is it defaulting to local currency? imho the standard should be BTC.

Seriously blockchain, for a bitcoin website this is stupidly absurd. I have to change this every time I change pages on your website. wtf.

+1 here.
It would be helpful to some people, by enabling them to see the tx values in USD, or other currencies.
But, the default setting should always be BTC.

Without a decent professional exchange to tie the rate to, people should just be able to put in any arbitrary value in their desired fiat, then the site will do the simple math of bitcoin*value.

Why doesn't  Blockchain.info identify the 'Discus Fish' pool in the pool pie chart?
http://blockchain.info/pools

It's the 3rd largest public pool,   http://www.f2pool.com/    ... why hide it under 'unknown'?

This site knows about it....

Shouldn't it at least be grouped into the 'Other Known' category if only Chinese residents can join?

Here is some info on Discus Fish  http://bitcoinstats.com/irc/bitcoin-dev/logs/2013/12/29

20:05  wizkid057 1 Ph solo miner? 
20:05  wangchun only 10% solo, others being a pool 
...
20:07  wangchun if you read organofcorti's weekly report, we are "Discus Fish" (pool) and "For Pierce and Paul" (solo)

20:51  wangchun Luke-Jr: Our miners all located in china, we have to locate our servers in china too

Piuk & team: Please consider using a Bitstamp/BTC-e composite valuation price (fx rate) instead of MtGox which is inflated 20% now because of their fiat handling problems.

I just wrote to my parents and told them they can't trust the price if they use SEK. I also took it on me to explain why the price is inflated, don't know if that was too heavy for them

That's #3, right?

Can it get a new cookie system for currencies now?

polmine.pl use coinbase text "by polmine.pl"
eg

Nice tomaszsz! When did you start using that?

[RGBKey]

I wonder if they changed it to avoid being sued by Rubiks?

[semzor]

I see you have a new "News" section now. But can you resize the "transactions" section rather than "blocks"? I can't really make anything out of large, fast rolling transaction section but found blocks were useful.

[takagari]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

Drop Mt. Gox,

I tell everyone to use your wallet
Than I sell them Bitcoins, they end up with more money, but when they sell back to me they are upset they are loosing 10-20% off what your wallet tells them.

PLEASE!!

I dont know if blockchain.info actually pays attention to this thread, but if you guys do...
The recent updates that limit most recent found blocks on homepage to 4.... SUCKS!
Please restore the 7 block count....or at least 6 blocks!

Thanks, Blockchain.info for breaking-out 'Discus Fish' on the pool pie chart... It's good to see who the big players are.

That was the first logo; the second seemed fine.

I think we all disliked it, and this has since been changed. Hope the new look is easier on the eyes.


I still check this forum out, but sorry for the non-replies lately. You can always submit a ticket at blockchain.zendesk.com, and I will respond within a few hours. We have a lot of exciting changes coming up in the near future!

Hey Blockchain, you have an app for Android an iOS, but can you PLEASE make an app for Windows Phone 8 as well? WP8 is outselling iOS in 24 countries and it has a market share of around 10% nowadays, but there's no way for us to pay for anything with our phones, import paper wallets, etc. Basically we Windows Phone users can't do anything with bitcoin. Can you please help us out by releasing a blockchain.info app? I would be really grateful.

P.s., I'm a full-time Windows Phone developer myself, I made the Kraken app (http://www.windowsphone.com/s?appid=a3857353-599a-434f-8293-398745723de6). If you need help with this, I'm available.

+1 million. WP8 has an increasingly dominant international position compared to iOS internationally, which is crucial for global bitcoin adoption. And of course, Microsoft looks to be around for awhile (unlike, for instance, Blackberry). Don't miss out on this market.
