I've put up a tool to Decrypt My Wallet backups offline (incase the site goes offline for any reason).

A simple .html! Much useful.

What would My Wallet users rather see Multi-sig transactions or Wallet.dat import/export?

Tough question... Of course both, but Wallet.dat import/export takes the lead.

Why you don't use Sipa's private keys in a paper wallet?
They have CRC and they're standard de facto (at least it is in a master branch now).
It took a while to figure out that you're using raw base58, nobody really uses that.

I do not see much point in having a checksum on private keys. However since it is becoming the standard, I am gradually adding better support and will make it an optional default.

I just looked up my IPs on Maxmind and it shows them in the US.  (KY, not KS, but I'm not quibbling over a few hundred miles vs 10,000!) Smiley

I downloaded the latest maxmind database, but now it thinks your in Austria. It is the free version so maybe that is the reason http://www.maxmind.com/app/geolitecity.

Is this going to be a stand alone app or interface to the web wallet? I was hoping for the latter, the web wallet has great features just needs an app to access the camera for QR scanning. But to your question, I rarely use any wallet without encrypted private keys and the ability to generate a paper backup.

A bit of both. Native view for Transactions, My Addresses and Qr code support. But the send transaction uses the web interface.

New Features

You can now import Multibit wallet files into My Wallet.

Faster ledger generation for large addresses (Still a bit slow) http://blockchain.info/address/1VayNert3x1KzbpzMGt2qdqrAThiRovi8 compared to http://blockexplorer.com/address/1VayNert3x1KzbpzMGt2qdqrAThiRovi8

I will be taking the Site down at about 1:00 am GMT tonight in order to make some database changes needed for multi-sig support.

Apple are taking their sweet time with the iPhone app. What would My Wallet users rather see Multi-sig transactions or Wallet.dat import/export?

Out of curiosity why does blockchain.info think EMC is in the deserts of Kazahkstan?  I do enjoy the Sasha Baren Cohen, but EMC is firmly located in the midwest... Kansas City, specifically.  208.110.68.114, 115, 116 and 208.110.73.247 are located in the US.


I'm not sure. I use Maxmind's geo-ip database to lookup locations, maybe it needs updating (Or possibly some has stolen your servers and collocated them in Kazahkstan? Smiley

Thanks, I've added both ips. The mystery still remains which pool 88.6.221.179 belongs to.

Also added a page on anonymity:

https://blockchain.info/wallet/anonymity

That's possibly the best privacy policy of any web site I have ever used.

I particularly like:
  • Password not stored on website
  • Address book not stored (unencrypted) on website
  • Wallet addresses not stored (unencrypted) on website

Your website inspires confidence.  I really hope you do well.

Minor niggle: the label address dialog box remembers the previous label when you are editing the next address. I can conceive that this might have been intentional; in which case it's not a niggle, since it was your design choice.  I only raise it in case it was an accident.

No that wasn't intentional. It should be fixed now.

I've added automatic dropbox backups - pending app approval from dropbox.com which can take up to 48 hours.

  • Can't edit label after creation of an address in the addressbook
  • Can't delete an entry from the addressbook

You can now Label Addresses and remove entires from the address book.

Excellent.

You are having some problems with the data. The block_height is missing here: http://blockchain.info/block-height/157248?format=json

EDIT: Seems to be fixed now

At approx 12:00PM today I accidentally pushed an update to My Wallet which was not supposed to be committed and contained a fairly severe bug. It is possible if you generated or deleted any keys between 12:00 Noon to 8:00 PM GMT some keys may not have been properly backed up.

If you were using My Wallet during this time please double check all your addresses and BTC is accounted for. I have a wallet backup from a few hours before and one at 14:00 PM so it highly probably any missing keys can be recovered.

If you are missing any keys please contact me at [email protected]. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Minor UI faults:

  • My Transactions->Market price; shows 1.00 BTC.  It should be in USD, I think (and I don't have 1 BTC in the wallet even if it's shouldn't)
  • Negative transactions of less than 1 show with the minus sign in a weird place.  e.g. "0.-2 BTC"

Minor missing features:
  • Can't edit label after creation of an address in the addressbook
  • Can't delete an entry from the addressbook

Why Bitcoin values will rounded now?

I use the blockchain.info for different things and I need all numbers after the comma to identify payments.
Is it possible to make a choice between a rounded and not rounded view?

Oops, unexpected side affect - should now only round on the homepage.
