What fees?

To get your fiat up there you have to use third party. Costs 5-7%. You take your Bitcoin out and you are charged a fee. You buy bitcoins and they give you a ball park figure not a quote. It always went against me even if BTC prices fell.   

Blockchain doesn't have an exchange

Didn't say it did. I was putting Dollars up there and converting to BTC. The wallet also was leaking tenths of a bitcoins every so often so I moved the BTC  off their site to my private client. Never looked back. They never lifted a finger to correct the problems.

I had an account partially set up with Coinbase but all these geniuses told me how great Blockchain info and Bitfloor were. Coinbase is flawless compared to them.   

What are you talking about? How was you putting dollars on to Blockchain.info and how was they leaking coins?


I used Zipzap to pay Blockchaininfo. to convertt to BTC.

 Probably a back door to the wallet somehow. I don't know how the hell it was done and I don't care. All I know is the balance would be lower by a fraction of a bitcoin every so often.   

I think you forgot about bitinstant

Blockchain.info Acquires Bitcoin Price App ZeroBlock
http://www.coindesk.com/blockchain-info-acquires-bitcoin-price-app-zeroblock/

this is the news?

yes I think it is, this is huge ? how can be this huge news ?

I've never heard of this App. Where does blockchain get its bitcoins from to start to acquire apps?

Probably from the ads they serve on their website and wallets, as well as the service recommendations on their wallet dashboards.

I never pay the high fees of Blockchain Info. You also always pay more for the coins than what you expect. They simply suck in every way. I can't believe they are still in business.   Cheesy

They are the pillar of the bitcoin ecosystem, no matter how you slice it!

it would be more interesting if they said, Whoever will guess it right will get xBTC as a price, I am sure this will bring more attention than "YAY we are doing something huge, can you guess it"

I'm completely moving to armory if they add alts

Why aren't you on Armory already? It's great. I doubt they'll be adding alts.

True but still quite buggy

What bugs does it have? Is there a list of these online any where?

Not really, mine can't stay running over a few hours without crashing. But it's nice. But not everyone wants to run a full btcd node, I do though.

BTW, I just visited Blockchain.info, and the bottom half of the "stats" page with the worthless "miners' operating revenue/margin/BS" was missing .... although one can always hope for a Merry Christmas present from blockchain.info.

Its finally gone. Merry Christmas! But, no, that wasn't the announcement Smiley

I cant think of a good guess..... just please not Alts, I was fine with Litecoin but with the shitload of scam coins I am starting to reconsider the point of alts....

litecoin is far from those shitty altcoins , don't worry

True, but I still don't think has much behind it yet even though it is the second best coin.

They are announcing they are finally dropping the ridiculous "650W/Gh/s" electricity consumption metric.  The MSM will now have to go elsewhere to get support for the "BTC ruins the environment" stories.

BTW, I just visited Blockchain.info, and the bottom half of the "stats" page with the worthless "miners' operating revenue/margin/BS" was missing (although the undying "650" number was still there in a footnote.)  Probably my crappy PC/browser, although one can always hope for a Merry Christmas present from blockchain.info.

Prob funding

how's that ? I mean what is the idea of it ?

They get funding from outside investors to either put more money into the product or promote it or take it mainstream etc. I don't know how they want to make money back though, unless it's from a donation or something.

It wasn't major when they were adding various "Other Bitcoin Links" (Largest Transactions, Bitcoin Nodes Globe... )
So I guess it is not just about querying realtime blockchain DB
It wasn't major when they were adding "Send via email or SMS" feature
It can't be anything requiring Bitcoin-Qt sourcecode changes.
It can't be free giveaway.

"Major" announcement... hmm...

Could be Litecoin wallet and litecoin blockchain.
I am not sure those bitcoin dev team are friendly to litecoin... are they?
If this is the case, it will affect litecoin price rising. Also, some expectation for other alt coins could be made.

Fiat-Bitcoin exchange is a major, or maybe way more than a major.

I think it will be multi language support. This is beneficial only for bitcoin. Chinese language is highly likely.
