Joke of a service.

I only use it for every day, small ‘ish’ transactions but it’s terrible. I’ve lost count of the amount of times I select ‘Premium’ fee & I have to end up using a free transaction accelerator to push through my transaction because the fee they set ends up being too low.

Just venting a bit any way. Anybody else experience similar with them? Going to stop using the service now any way. I probably should have ditched them ages ago seeing as though Ver is a big investor / CEO.

I don't know them, I use blockchain.info for bitcoin transactions and am very pleased by its work. Just today I payed only $0.07 for a transaction worth around $50 which was performed in less than 10 minutes! No accelerators, just a premium fee which is nowadays extremely low. Why not to use this website instead? I feel safe keeping my btc there and performing transactions whenever I need to. And I've never had an issue with the fee being too low, because each time they recommend the fees based on how busy the network is at that time. They don't support Segwit, though, so if that matters to you in choosing the future service, that's probably not your choice.

Ah the bCash guys :-P
I left using blockchain.com ages ago. The only use for me is to explore the block explorer from their site which does not need registration.

I am comfortable with my hardware wallet and desktop wallet. Whenever I need I can just create a wallet which is hassle free.

I have been doing the same thing for a few years. Although it was my first wallet in blockchain.com , I think cryptocurrency has evolved so much with time that we had to adapt the newer technology.
Blockchain.com on the other hand chose to not upgrade the tech and this is the reason why not many people use it these days.
I prefer to use crypto wallet on my smartphone and some of the best ones are Mycelium and Electrum.

Yep. That should be enough reason for everyone to stop using them, to be honest, they're not hurting their users only but the network as well by not upgrading.

Definitely. I really don't see the reason to not use segwit. The only 2 possible reasons I can think of is that:

They purposely don't want to implement it, to probably move people to the BCH camp
Probably due to complications in the coding side? Which I really doubt as I'm really sure they could afford decent programmers just for this functionality.

This is probably the sole reason why people in the bitcoin community barely suggest using Blockchain.com's wallet. Basically the only reason why blockchain.com is still hugely relevant right now is due to their marketing and because blockchain.info was a really widely known service for years.

Blockchain.info is still a widely used website for tracking the transaction status. I use it myself for every bitcoin transaction I make. It's really convenient to use it from any device.
And yes probably you are right as this might be the only reason why blockchain.com is still alive.

I tried using Blockchain.com's wallet in the past for my bitcoin spare change. Last time I've used it was in December of 2017 though, where transactions were through the roof, so the transactions were expected to take days anyway. I basically ditched blockchain.com due to them not implementing segwit at that time(I think they don't still have segwit today lol).
