I haven't seen any post regarding issues that time you encountered it, but I did see a lot of threads posted here before about that wallet. Users have been experiencing several issues, it's not that popular as well, so I wonder why you are still using it (also, I didn't even bother to read so much about the wallet after seeing these complaint threads).

Ex.of threads posted before for reference:

* They don't have an official announcement here
* Have a twitter account, but not active
* I don't think they have an active support as well

Quoting your post for the record and thanks for providing us the threads. I would like to add that there is a very small user base for Strongcoin wallet, and the people that did use it had problems. Let that serve as a warning for other newbs to avoid it.

Has anyone heard of issues with StrongCoin tonight? Site has the BitCoin price at $0.00. Wallet value is also 0, but the amount of btc coin in my wallet is correct.
Transactions are not going thru, even to another wallet within StrongCoin. Any ideas? Thx in advance for your help.

A big red flag for this wallet. At the bottom of their page it says Copyright 2011 - 2017 StrongCoin.com all rights reserved.

But if they were really operating since 2011 then why is this wallet not known to the community? Im not also aware of a service announcement thread opened by their team.

They have a Twitter account, https://twitter.com/strongcoin. Try leaving comments there to make it more public.

I did try to look at this wallet since I haven't heard anything about it. And its even get a 5 star rating from this website: http://www.dailycoins.net/wallets.html

But I haven't used it so I can't really tell how secure it was in the first place. And as far as the OP issues is concern, the best thing to do is to make a follow up with StrongCoin and see what is going on with your wallet. @pinkflower provided you their official twitter account, take that route and ask them directly for help.

What do you mean by bitcoin price at $0.0? If that is for real they'll be bankrupt easily. Maybe this is sort of a bug and the same what happened to my blockchain.info wallet. I just contacted the support, gave me instructions and everything went well. Inform the support of strongcoin about this, this is the best thing to do.

Talk to their support.

With Strongcoin pretty sure you're not the one that is controlling your private key, but rather an encrypted version of your private key is stored on their servers. Therefore, it is possible for them to not broadcast the bitcoin transaction onto the network when you request it and you have no other way out.

Use electrum. It's much simpler and you hold your own keys.

Limited in number. Limitless in potential.

Upon researching this wallet exist a long time ago but don't heard of them here. What do you mean this, the wallet value is 0 but the amount of btc in your wallet is correct? So where do you saw this wallet value is 0?

If you can't send also to other address but there's a balance on your wallet maybe it's some issue of syncing wallet? make sure your wallet sync try to logout and login again. Or simply ask their support for this issues.

Never heard of strongcoin wallet before, but the problem doesn't look good. Have you tried contacting the support ? No one can help you here in this case. There are so many reputable wallets in the crypto world, why use those obscure ones.
