I'm still not able to log in to my account it keeps saying my info is incorrect but I don't think it is.  I still haven't heard back from my help request to the support desk and I sent it yesterday morning.  Sure hope they reply sooner then later.

My password isn't being accepted.  I know I'm typing it the correct way and I typed it in a text file to verify the correct output for the keys I'm pressing.  I stopped with one attempt left because I don't feel like having my account locked out for a while....again today.

yeah they finally went through.  It was someone paying me, so I don't know about the fees.  I will check the transaction and see.

I'm having really slow confirmations this afternoon. I have 3 transactions that have been waiting for confirmations for hours.

Don't know if it is related to the blockchain.info downtime yesterday, but since they go through blockchain.info, I have to assume something is up.

Unlikely due to the downtime.  Did you pay the proper fees?  If not, it could take hours.  If you post the TX here someone can look into it.

First thing I did when I regained access after 9 hours of downtime was to backup my keys.  Cheesy

This is probably a good reminder to backup those private keys.

The issue for me was that I had nowhere that I could check the coins available at a given address. Private keys were backed up, but if I had been expecting to receive coins from someone, I would have had to wait hours to verify that it was in the block chain. I guess it's just bad luck that my client and the only two public websites I was aware of weren't functional for me.

Yeah. I might have over reacted. But out of an odd coincidence, my bitcoin-qt program wasn't working (and still isn't, despite a reinstall). It was kind of annoying not being able to check a balance anywhere.

I saw the other threads about trouble synchronizing the blockchain, and for a sec worried that the SHTF. Thank *GOD* its back up.

Status on home page says: "Not Connected"

Try to login - click on Open Wallet and get the message "You must enter a Two Factor Authentication code".

Then spinning wheel next to "VALIDATING AUTHENTICATION KEY"

Also no text boxes come up for putting in 2nd authentication key.

This is likely happening because the blockchain site not connecting. Is this going to be fixed soon?

I looked at that but the problem is the balance shows up even with zero confirmations (so it's not a "confirmed" balance)

http://blockexplorer.com/q/addressbalance/1Cvvr8AsCfbbVQ2xoWiFD1Gb2VRbGsEf28/6

See the manual at http://blockexplorer.com/q

That doesn't seem to work, for example:
http://blockexplorer.com/q/addressbalance/1Luo5XyHWJKG4nZ2nAT3GyZUV67CHYvNrw/50

That transaction only has 17 confirmations, but it still shows a balance when entering any confirmation number (50,100,1000, etc...)

blockexplorer is timing iut in search requests as well now

That pretty much always happens. The other pages work, though.

Anyone know if any alternatives to blockchain.info.

I use their address balance lookup API to verify if payments have been sent, for example:
http://blockchain.info/q/addressbalance/XXXXXXXXXXXX?confirmations=6

But lately their server seems to be down a lot.

I just need to be able to lookup the confirmed balance of any given address.

http://blockexplorer.com/q/addressbalance/1Cvvr8AsCfbbVQ2xoWiFD1Gb2VRbGsEf28

Maybe use one as a fallback for the other.

Away on an extended break
blockexplorer.com seems to be working AFAICT.
I get : ERROR: unknown (Most likely my bitcoind stopped working or this page is too large/complex.)

Error I get from blockchain.info:

Quote
Communications link failure The last packet successfully received from the server was 2,325,915 milliseconds ago. The last packet sent successfully to the server was 2,315,876 milliseconds ago.

At least other people are having issues also. I don't know if that's normal or not.

I'm more worried about my bitcoin-qt wallet not syncing and giving the "Warning: Displayed transactions may not be correct! You may need to upgrade, or other nodes may need to upgrade." I suppose I could still send a transaction, I just don't have a way to verify it.

Anyone else having issues with looking up transactions or addresses on the blockchain? I can't seem to do it from anywhere, and my Bitcoin-qt platform seems to think I need to upgrade even though I'm running the latest version. I'm a little nervous because I wanted to send a transaction, and I can't even double check that I have the BTC in the right address. Normally I could at least do that.
