I can't open the site, this is something wrong with the site?
what i understand on op is the site just show blockchain data? or are you want to build to a bitcoin wallet which like electrum? you don't need to downloas data from blockchain?

Can't read the topic through properly before making these posts? It was mentioned in May that this API is no longer supported, so of course it goes down sooner or later...

Looks a really promising API, just needs Websocket docs to get flagged when a transaction/confirmation to an address happens.

The revolution will be digital

We’ve built a Blockchain API so developers can focus on the important stuff (app logic, UX) rather worry about bitcoind.

This was built out of frustration of both bitcoind and the blockchain.info API. We previously built www.tippercoin.com (send BTCs via a tweet) and www.sparecoins.io (Chrome extension wallet) via these tools. However, bitcoind just doesn’t give the data you need and blockchain.info isn’t developer friendly, e.g. no testnet, goes down quite often, weird http codes

We’ve also built a programmatic faucet API so you can write proper integration tests! (https://helloblock.io/docs/ref#faucet). This comes with a block explorer as well for both testnet/mainnet (https://helloblock.io/latest, https://test.helloblock.io/latest)

Let me know what you guys think. Smiley

Do u offer send/receive API ? If yes, can u plz point at the links for the same ?

Are you hosting wallets, or just presenting BlockChain data? The wallet section of the docs slightly confused me; https://helloblock.io/docs/ref#wallet
