Well in the meantime you could try the other websites that offer similar functionality.

blockr.io and blockexplorer.com to name a few.

Biteasy.com as well Smiley

Thanks for the information guys.


rule 1. dont rely on a single third party, be decentralized. use them all...

That is good advice. I have 3 different wallets in theory, though 2 of them are just different sites I used to deposit USD and buy BTC, and the main one I use for my assets is Blockchain.


What does that accomplish? Blockchain is the easiest and most complete. Unless there starts being some kind of "funny business" at blockchain.info, why use anything else?

That's more or less how I felt about the situation. To my fairly n00b self, blockchain.info has always seemed legit, and seems to be an integral part of the BTC community. Plus it is a one-stop shop for me where I can check blocks for transactions, see charts, etc.

Hey everybody, I'm fairly new to BTC though I've been following it for a while. Earlier I was going to check the balance of my main wallet, and noticed blockchain.info was down for maintenance. That was a couple hours ago and it still is, but I was just wondering if that is a common occurrence, and if so how long on average it is. I guess this would be a good time to get the fractions of a coin I have backed up on a paper wallet?

To answer another of your questions: No, blockchain.info is rarely down for maintenance. Today's outage is definitely a fluke.

Full disclosure: I am working for Blockchain Wink

But I have been using the service for the past few years, before I was part of the team. The site was almost never down.

Or learn how to store coins securely yourself, without having to rely on a third party site that can experience downtime

I believe you can import your aes.wallet.json file into Armory.
