where did Blockchain.info go?!!!

[Herbert2020]

as a beginner i started at botcoin.org and chose my wallet at Blockchain.info at https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet but today i saw that it is removed.
so what happened?
is it no longer providing services or something?
what did i miss

[Blazr]

blockchain.info's wallet service is still operational:
https://blockchain.info/wallet

I'm not sure why it was taken off of bitcoin.org. That page appears to have been recently updated, maybe it was removed by mistake.

[ikydesu]

Yeah OP's right.
and only blockchain has removed from https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet

mistake or intentional?

This is pretty bad. Is bitcoin.org asking for payment to get listed, which blockchain.info denied to pay ? I think blockchain.info is more popular among bitcoiners than bitcoin.org and hence they refused to pay. In alexa rank also blockchain.info is in far better position than bitcoin.org.

[Divinespark]

Who cares so long as the blockchain service continues. Let's be wary of running with unsubstantiated conspiracy theories here...

[BeginToMine]

Most important, that blockchain is working.

Taken from one of the comments on Reddit:

It's a 60 day timeout, and may be re-listed depending on what improvements have been rolled out.

I've always thought they were one of the most popular web wallets, hopefully blockchain.info will address the reasons for being unlisted.

Yeah i hopefully too, but it seems like about the security of blockchain, because many complain about losing bitcoin in blockchain wallet.

[rz20]

It was edited because the security problems it is being having against hackers.

Yeah, if not for this thread I would not have noticed it has been removed from bitcoin.org. It suspect it could be due to the security concerns that took place recently about weeks ago. Also I can see that there are new wallet additions as well like for instance mSIGNA. Oh, my it has been some time since I last been to that site so it's good to see new changes.

The reddit threads are pretty interesting, thanks ikydesu.  Basically they suggest that blockchain.info would be listed if it applied today due to security concerns.  The posts the reddits point to lay the issues out pretty clearly.  It looks like BCI has responded to some of them but others are unaddressed and so they are off the list for the time being.

[hbhomer]

there is a reddit thread with over 20 complains of the users who had their wallets emptied,one clever guy had 67 btc on his online wallets,too.

[Kabapka]

who is dumb enough to put 67 bitcoins in some online wallet?



LOL

[hilariousandco]

That's very unlikely due to an issue on blockchain.info's end. People lose coins because of their own fault most of the time. Blockchain.info seems to be probably the most secure of all web wallets so not sure why it's been delisted exactly. If people losing coins through their own lack of security is a reason to remove them then best remove all the others and any exchanges they recommend as well.

I don't want to use the word dumb, but well some people did put hundreds of bitcoin in their mtgox account and they are all gone...

BTW, a person lost 633 bitcoin using Tor on his blockchain.info wallet. You can search the thread in "Bitcoin Discussion".

Most of the time, yes. But there are at least two improvements blockchain.info should/could do in my opinions.
1. Make it a deterministic wallet to prevent losses like http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2ohnb8/how_i_lost_15_btc_on_blockchaininfo_without_my/

2. Change how 2FA works for blockchain.info, as someone discuss it in https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=876492.msg9695880#msg9695880

Yeah i don't know if that's their own fault or what, but my experience using BCI is indeed something was wrong, a few weeks ago, I've check to my BCI wallet and everything becomes zero, my history and my balance turned into zero, grotesque. And i ever lost BTC, i feel put my wallet safely but my btc could still be stolen.

Even if your account was hacked, or your bitcoin stolen, I think you should still see a out-going transaction in your history.

Have you contacted their support, and what are their explanations?

When i was hacked and stolen, i see my btc was sent to unknown address.

not yet, i've already tired with bci problem and i've already leave that wallet.
