Topic: What happened to Blockchain.info? (Read 1694 times)
Good News........ They are back. Thank God!!!
...
Perhaps by chance blockchain.info was down late last night (~ midnight US ET) as well as just now.
Each time this happens makes me want to keep even less BTC with them (most is on my Ledger and Trezor). Their convenience is top-notch.

Apologies for any inconvenience.
i thought they crashed because of the stress test. havent they been down for couple hours now? Blockchain.info is currently down for maintenance. For status updates please see Twitter https://twitter.com/#!/blockchain.
Apologies for any inconvenience.
hope they come back up soon.
From their twitter account: "We're continuing to undergo system upgrades. We apologize for the inconvenience during this maintenance."
Check their twitter - they're beginning to tweet users back. This usually means they're not far away from a solution.
Tweeting multiple users back certainly doesn't point towards a hack or scam any way.

ty for the info! i notice that this morning, i mean that the web was down, i was asking to myself if this was a problem of my isp.
i will try to check the twitter account more often then
, or better, let's hope that i dont need to check it again/soon. 
Being one of the biggest wallet service providers, one would think they would have better methods than only Twitter to make these anouncements. 
If you have planned maintenance schedules, why not post
it on Bitcoin forums for everyone to prepare? It reminds me about the days when you got to a closed door at a fiat bank... oh it's still like that. The only difference being that you not prompted by the ATM to say
this service is termporarily down... you have to go to another service to find more information about it. There must be a way to notify people in advance?

The forums here do the same when they are offline.
I guess it's because they had no way of knowing they would be going offline or something.
Well yes, this seems as a standard procedure for everyone in the Bitcoin world. Everybody are using Twitter to let their customers know when they are offline for maintenance or that they have some other problems. So I don't see any problem here.
For example, last time the btc-e was down few weeks ago, they haven't put any announcement on forums, they were just updating accordingly their Twitter page.
Relax people I'm sure they'll be up within the next 5-6 hours. This has happened a few times with them & they always get back up & running. If you're paranoid about any funds you have on there just type your public key into another block explorer & you'll see your funds are safe.
If the worst happened then as long as you have your private keys you can move your coins elsewhere. The private key is on the paper wallet sub section on the my wallet page. Too late now though if you don't have it lol.

Blockchain co-founder Nic Cary told CoinDesk the downtime was down to the company "installing some new equipment", adding that it has been "growing fast" lately.
The company’s outage follows a six-hour period of downtime experienced by global bitcoin marketplace LocalBitcoins earlier this week.
LocalBitcoins’ community manager 'Max' said in a post on Reddit the problem was related to server issues: "It seems a server got hung up ... We're about to move to new equipment as the current servers are quite old, sad that they had to crash before we moved."

I remember they had server problems when the previous stress test was running.

http://Blockchain.info is an address to collect of bitcoin.but when i search this address then see an error occurred. Please give me suggestion about it
Based on their twitter, they are currently under maintenance. Try using other block explorers like blocktrail.com or btc.blockr.iotheyre just under maintenance maybe because of the recent stress test
just be patient
Their servers should be more than powerful to handle a surge of transactions as it can afford to have 1000+ connections to them. They have been incredibly inconsistent and many bugs have surfaced, I won't use them if I were you.just be patient
Both the above mentioned block explorers are very good.
Personally I also find good use to the blockr API as well.
