Is Microwallet.org shutting down?

[kruhft]

I saw a post on one of the fountains saying that microwallet.org is shutting down.  Does anybody know if that's true and what will happen to all of the faucets that use them as a micropayment system?  Move to xapo.com maybe?

it was going to shut down but the founder has said it will not be shut down untill there is suitable amount of competition. so id say its not going to shut down anytime soon

It is a nice service for collecting from faucets, it would be pity if it is shutting down. It has been down for 18 hours though:

They had some server issues before but it's fine now. I didn't heard anything about shutdown yet.

I think it is going to shut down.

One of my online earning site, Coingamez.com told me the same too.

To reduce the lost of my earning, I stopped using it.

Unless my pending payment has been processed, then only I shall consider to resume it.

Hello ev1

I've just registered and it is my first post. I don't know if it is in the right place.
I have a problem and maybe I am not the only one.

On last Saturday, I requested cashout from microwallet.org. It has appeared the message that the amount will be paid within 7 days, but no cashout request date or a change in the number of days. So, if you don't keep track, you have no idea if the days have passed or not.
The point is that today is Friday, and I still do not have the bitcoins into my wallet. 

Something more: it is the 4th day when I try to cashout from Land Of Bitcoin faucet with no success. Each time I receive the message:
"Our Microwallet account is empty, we will refill it soon, please come back in an hour or three."

Haven't been paid since 2014-10-28

Microwallet are saying this..

Q: Is Microwallet closing? A: No.
Q: Is there a problem with the withdrawals? A: The issue caused by a bug in the Blockchain.info API. We will deploy the workaround today and after that everything back to normal.

So I thought I would write to Blockchain and ask about this bug.I got this reply.

Dear All
Just a quick question a yes or no would suffice then I would be very happy.
 
Q. Is Microwallet having problems making payments to users.
 
This what Microwallet have to say

That was about three days ago they made that statement, let me tell you that thousands of people have not had any Satoshis forwarded to blockchain.
 
I noticed that other sites can make direct payments.
 
Thanks

Hey there. We haven't had any reported issues with our API from other users, and I don't recall seeing any support tickets from them with an issue. If the issue continues I would contact them. Hopefully they fix whatever problem they are having.

Thanks!

So if they are saying they have a bug in the blockchain why then don't they report it?

I wrote to Microwallet suggesting just that, no reply as of yet.

Any one having issues with Microwalley (down again), erm Microwallet such as api or not getting paid, please e-mail

Finally got through to their Site and this is posted on it "The website is under a DDoS attack again. We are working on the issue to make sure it never happens again. The website should be back up and stable within a few hours. The good news is all of the recent issues should be resolved within 24 hours."

  I seen that, and when they get back on-line nothing will have changed.
Any bets on that?

Please don't open a ticket with Blockchain.info regarding Microwallet, because I'm not sure if they actually are experiencing an issue with our API. No other users have reported API-related problems, and they have not responded to emails we sent them. I'm not sure what their issue is, but I don't think it's related to Blockchain.info.

Thanks!

It is not 100% certain they will be back online in the next 24 hours. I would say the good thing is that this is a good chance to see that faucets are a horrible waste of time and that even if microwallet does run away with customer money they will get away with very little money

It is surely more than 1 week that I'm waiting for my payment, and since 3 days ago there is written that "All pending withdrawals will be processed within 24 hours.", but as I said I haven't received anything yet. I hope they are going to fix everything but I'm not so sure about that..

[Clint]

im not expecting to recieve my balance in my microwallet account anymore...

[dario.93]

I would like to know it it's possible to use the faucets that are using microwallet.org without sending the payments there..

For example : http://www.scratch4satoshis.com/
                    http://bitcoinker.com/faucet?ref=1e3c804e65b5

They are always sending payments to my "microwallet" account, that it was created automatically when i put my btc address. I don't see any other way to receive the satoshi I "win".

We need to wait for microwallet to come back again.
If microwallet shuts down, many faucets will be affected badly.

Me too. I'm not sure if they're going to pay... and the other service (Faucetbox) is "moving to another server"... This makes me think that's not a very trustful service. I'd like Microwallet may go back to normality, but who knows. A few weeks ago everything was fine, and now nothing works :-/
