Blockfolio is Gone

[ingiltere]

As you may know Blockfolio was a mobile app that you can check coin prices and create your portfolio. FTX bought the app and changed the name to FTX. Now when you open the app it doesn't refresh prices, instead it says "Looks like something went wrong. Please try again." Of course something went wrong, you went wrong. FTX bankrupt and now the mobile app is gone too.
What are your suggestions as I don't check its alternatives. It fulfilled my needs for a long time, now I don't know which app is the similar and suit me best. I'd like to hear your opinions, there are a lot of mobile apps so it's hard to choose a good, reliable and secure one.

I see the same error on my device. This was expected given the implosion of FTX who bought them.

I had some other alternative I use like;
1. Bituniverse
2. Coinstats
3. Delta portfolio app

Explore them and see what's good for you

What are your suggestions as I don't check its alternatives.

Yes, i tried to check Blockfolio App, their website is gone, so is their twitter also gone, not much more information got about crypto investment tracker on Blockfolio.

Honestly, I've never used a crypto asset tracker called Blockfolio, but I'm more comfortable with a crypto portfolio type called Coinmarketcap, I'm more comfortable with that than others.

If so, if you want to use Best alternatives to Blockfolio, you can see in the link, maybe it can be useful for you in the future.

I have used that long time ago when I still don't have a hardware wallet but with Ledger's app, Ledger Live. It shows how much I gain/loss everyday.
It may not be as convenient as blockfolio or any other app but if you have the ledger hardware then you're obliged to download the app to look at your portfolio. I usually use the desktop version and as per checking, they've got the app version for smart phone users.

There are lots of crypto portfolio trackers right now just give sometimes to search on PlayStore. If you are lazy then you can use the other suggestion above but I'm currently using these trackers below for free.

- Coingecko app - it needs to register but it's free and most of the coins are listed there.
- CryptoMarketcap - using this for a long time for free and I like their widget.

Other tracker that you can check.

- Crypto Tracker Coin stats
- The Crypto app - Coin Tracker

While there are some solid apps mentioned before me, I tend to be more geared towards open source solutions, especially the ones that deal with investments. According to their Crunchbase profile[1], Blockfolio was mostly a "mobile portfolio tracking and management for the cryptocurrency and blockchain industry" - at least prior to FTX purchase - and if your sole intent was that feature, I strongly recommend Portefolio Performance[2] . I even made a guide for it[3] that you can use to start recording your crypto purchases (but the method can also be used for traditional investment options such as stocks and ETFs...).

Granted, my solution isn't perfect and may not suit your interests - it lacks an Android app (for now) and the interface to add an investment option isn't very intuitive - but considering the fact that you know that no one is "watching" your data or reselling it, it's an incredible feeling and for me it's totally worth the hassle of not being that intuitive (good news: it gets easier the more you use it!).

Back in 2008 when everything imploded in the financial world there was a lot of talk about who got what bailouts and such.

One of the things that I always found interesting was the fact that a few of the banks that got money was not to bail out the banks by themselves, but all the intertwined businesses with them.

Bank goes out, some loans get called, aluminum foundry that had a 10 million revolving line of credit all of a sudden can't pay bills, they shut down, people waiting on parts for them can no longer make whatever customers had ordered, their customers are now in trouble.
So, although the BANK might not have been bailed out, to avoid some of the ripple effect you keep them going so other places do not go under.

FTX had their hands in 100s of projects like Blockfolio. They are not getting bailed out.
This week and next, we get to see who else / what other projects had their funds in FTX and related.

Buckle up, it's going to be a bumpy ride.

Shouldn't these entities be separate from the main platform, so that if the platform goes bankrupt, it works until there is a new buyer? It is strange that we witness a complete collapse of all the platform's investments once the bankruptcy application is filled out.

What prompts the application to stop knowing that the salaries will not be paid until the end of the month and the hosting fees and others are paid.

Without knowing how much constant attention the apps needed on the back end it's tough to say, it might have been up for hours till something died and there was nobody around to reset.
Or, someone took the server home to sell on eBay since they didn't get that last paycheck.
Or, the hosting provider who did not get paid for their October bill yet, just pulled the plug since they now know they are not getting anything.
And so on.

And the other side of places that were just getting funding / invested with them.
They know they are done. The plan now is to shut it all down and get as much out as they can.

I've been using Blockfolio for a long time too, I guess it won't be easy to get rid of old habits
The application was broken many times, instead I tried similar apps many times, but none of them were as useful as Blockfolio. I was using Delta for a while, but it didn't always show the prices correctly. In fact, it was not easy to follow the price of some tokens, especially it could not show the price of non-volume tokens correctly.
Advice on this subject will be very useful for us, we need a new app

Anything that FTX touched and owned is in big trouble now, and I guess bloclfolio was using FTX api to fetch coin prices, that is why this app is not working correctly anymore.
I don't use any portfolio tracking apps anymore, but I know there are good alternatives that are opensource and you can also use Coingecko app or website for that purpose.
Delta app is working fine, There is Rotki open source app, and one bitcointalk member Escaflowne created crypTrax, open source app that works on all operating systems:

I guess we could also see Joe Biden and Democratic party going down in this circus show... FTX was second largest donator after George Soros... surprise surprise.  
People should also check how they used FTX for money laundering, sending ''help'' to other countries in need and than returning same money through FTX.
Just 'trust'' your governments, and don't ask questions, right?!

You can pick what exchange you get the prices from for every trading pair with Blockfolio. If I were to guess, the reason why Blockfolio is now not working is because of server-related reasons in general.

I have also been a long-time user of Blockfolio. I was a little discouraged to continue when it was changed to FTX, but I simply failed to find a better alternative. Eventually, I was forced to create a throw-away email for the sake of having a Coingecko portfolio tracker. I really don't understand why a tracker has to require users to sign up.

Anyway, it's so sad that the rest of the separate products and services acquired by FTX will also fall down along with the exchange and the research and trading firm. The former Blockfolio, for example, couldn't go insolvent and was probably earning nicely.

And so on.

We are talking about a service that has been running for a while and has thousands of people using the application.
The issue of carrying hosting services for several days will not be a problem, and therefore the site should return.
Unless a court ruling is issued and all of FTX’s property is seized, then the problem will be, but I am surprised at the speed of the collapse of anything related to that platform.
