[Guido]

so the dump in price to pre apple news is because of this lol?
glad I don't daytrade and hold for longterm

quite possibly blockchain were re-adding app integration before resubmitting or something a and price will re-rocket

I see times like this the trolls come out and even post more china fud threads lmao

think this may be just the tonic to 'take the summer off' and check the price on a random date
like end september  

yep, both sites blockchain and blockexplorer working dandy for me 

now please someone please go and explain to the trolls in btce trollbox, they think the sky is falling

[BitCoinDream]

Services may go down from time to time, but there should be an update or at least acknowledgement. https://twitter.com/blockchain does not say anything about the downtime. This is quite unprofessional.

[Farmer17]

Blockchain.info is not showing any transactions.

Blockexplorer is showing

Code:

ERROR: unknown (Most likely my bitcoind stopped working or this page is too large/complex.)

What's up? Are these pages run by the same guys?

I believe blockexplorer is made and run by theymos.

Tell me (theymos) if you find any bugs.

[zimmah]

this is not nice...wonder what`s happening..they didnt announce anything

What happens with the wallets on blockchain? Will you still be able to get your money out?

Yes, the actual wallet has nothing to do with blockchain. If you made a backup of the private keys it doesn't matter if blockchain shuts down.

[bryant.coleman]

Everything is fine now. Blockchain.info is online again and the wallets can be accessed and the coins can be transferred. No need to go ballistic... all of your coins are safe.

People always panic when this happens. They should really learn how the site works though and makes sure theyve got a back up of their wallet.

Do you need to need to back up your wallet each time your balance increases?

Yes I think so but you can set it so it automatically sends you one each time it happens.

Just for clarification: yes you definitely 100% need to back-up

[JJB]

There is one wallet where you dont need to make new backups everytime you make a transaction but just have the one. Forgot which one it is now though. Anyone know?

Thanks, I'm not sure if blockchain.info has that option, cannot see it listed on there site

If you would Need to backup your wallet everytime you get or send Money, Offline-Wallets wouldn't work.
I am not sure, what you guys are talking about.

[kik1977]

So funny to see people going maaaaaaad so quickly. On the other hand it's quite strange the lack of communication from BC, they're usually very good at that..

NO!
A backup is sent by email each time you add a wallet in your account, not each time some uBTC are sent to you.

You just need the private key of your wallet to back it up: for blockchain, just use the "paper" button and print the paper wallet(s) generated, with the qr codes. And you're ok, you could even import this key in any other wallet program to spend your BTC as you like.

The private key(s) is the one and only necessary thing to backup in a safe place. Even the public key is generated from it.

They're mad because they're panicking because they haven't got any wallet backups.

[Muhammed Zakir]

It is kind of weird that they haven't even acknowledged that there is a problem.  Usually they address it publicly right away. I can get to Blockchain.info but not their blog. That website doesn't even connect...

Yeah! I can get into blockchain.info . Did anybody reported the problem to them?

Thanks, so doing one backup is fine, even if your balance increases or decreases, only needed if you add new addresses to the wallet? The private key, is this the "identifier" that is requested when logging onto blockchain.info?

No, you need your private key to sign a transaction, the identifier requested is a login identifier.
