Blockchain.info - Bitcoin Block explorer & Currency Statistics

Oh cool, email notifications for new transactions are back. Now if only we could get a nicer notification sound instead of that ear piercing beep from hell.

I see you now support sending to P2SH, great!

Looks like it's not working yet for Shared Coin, debug console says:

"Executing Stage 1" sharedcoin.min.js:1
17:25:52.367 "executeOffer failed Strange script output" sharedcoin.min.js:1
17:25:58.488 "Strange script output" wallet.min.js:1

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.

We should have a solution for you in the very near future!

I really look forward to it! Thanks

Maybe you should hire Avalaxy, he makes wonderful apps

Would it be possible to restrict the merchant API to a IP address and have the web wallet accessed though Google Authenticator?
Or let us restrict to IP addresses like this: 2.81.%.%
Or restrict login to only IPs from a certain country.

Are there any plans to improve the reporting on blocks solved by pools?  It seems that there are a lot of blocks misallocated to the wrong pools.

For example, look at Block 284562 which is correctly reported as solved by BitMinter.  The CoinBase has BitMinter in it.

Now, take a look at Blocks 284615 and 284640.  Both of them have "P2SH" in the CoinBase, not BitMinter.  It's reporting the wrong pool as being the pool that solved those blocks.

Where does blockchain report the pool that solved the block?  Are you talking about this:



Note that it does not say "Solved by", it says "Relayed by".  Blockchain.info is accurately reporting where they first heard about the block (which peer was first to relay the block to them).

You're using the wrong tool for the job. If you want to get real time attribution (rather than the relayer), try http://blockorigin.pfoe.be/blocklist.php

What was up with the logo change?

[tvbcof]

What was up with the logo change?

Typically this indicates that a startup just hired a new marketing person.  Typically the first thing they do is to irritate everyone at the shop by coming up with a new logo as a means of demonstrating that they do things.

Just noticed you're sending http notifications when a change is "received".
That doesn't make any sense to me, why on earth I would want to receive a notification for a change?

For example, this is a deposit address for a user.
Someone makes a withdrawl, Bitcoins come from another address inside my wallet, and sends change to that user deposit address.
Blockchain sends me a notification that address has received funds, but in fact just received a change from my wallet.

And now my system is a mess.

I definitely second this.

And because of this I'm 0.14 short... Haven't I noticed this (by accident) and the loss would be huge.

I can't find anything anywhere about "change" notifications.

I get the following error four times in the console when opening the Shared Coin page in the wallet:

Code:

XMLHttpRequest cannot load https://api.sharedcoin.com/?version=3. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'https://blockchain.info' is therefore not allowed access.

Fetching the page manually returns a 502 error.

Is the server down? Can Shared Coin continue to function by having clients mix with each other, without the server?

Hello!

I have a normal wallet in blockchain.info, and I made a couple paper wallets to store the BTC im not planning on using immediatly.

I used the android app to send the funds to the paper wallets, and also scanned the public keys so I could check the balances, etc.

Both the site and the app consider my watch-only addresses as part of my "total" balance, and assumes the other wallets are (and stay being) mine.

This is annoying because both the app and the site show my total balance, not the balance currently in my ready-to-spend wallet. Its hard to figure out my actual spendable balance, and the total balance is displayed in the app wallet, which I may want to keep private (its not a concern ATM, I have far less than 1 btc, but it would be a concern if I had a lot more and didn't want it to be visible)

I noticed that if I "archive" the paper wallets the balance will not take them into consideration (which is what i want), is that the correct way to deal with this? Any other way to mark a wallet as cold-storage?
Do archived wallet addresses ever "go away" on their own? (like emails in a spam folder, that are automatically deleted after a few days)

Thank you!

Hi, the API is not working because of cloudshare.. please fix as its causing problems for a lot of services using the API.

[dashingriddler]

APIs are facing issues due to cloudflare

[leckey]

Also having API problems. Pausing cloudflare now.

I dont think it would matter if you pause it on your server. Blockchain.info need to pause so that our apis will start working.
