Not sure if the security on the blockchain wallet is compromised because I've never lost any btc in there. If ever your account was hacked by another person, it will show in your history of your wallet.

Never knew that the wallet service of blockchain is removed from bitcoin.org

for more complete options use this

http://btc.blockr.io/

Blockr is a good block explorer, but it doesn't offer a wallet service at all.
Since the thread is about web wallet service, Green Address or BitGo are better substitutes.

People here are talking about blockchain.info has been delisted from https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet, but not about the disappearance of the wallet service.

Blockchain.info is on vacation.
They will back after Christmas or CNY Roll Eyes

They'll be listed at bitcoin.org soon. No worries.

what does it mean "on vacation", vacation has no meaning for such a website!

you look more like a joke

There is no vacation just check it, the site is normaly online rofl.

What I'm trying to say was, blockchain.info isn't listed on bitcoin.org.
But it will be back on that list, soon.

What I meant by "on vacation" was blockchain.info has been unlisted on bitcoin.org for being not secure enough.

http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2ogyt4/blockchaininfo_has_been_delisted_from_bitcoinorg/

You guys really take my word as a joke....
Read page 1 & 2 of this topic.

Quote from: newflesh

It's a 60 day timeout, and may be re-listed depending on what improvements have been rolled out.

They are not listed on bitcoin.org and will be re-listed back on bitcoin.org after their website is safe enough.(It sounds like they are on vacation...to me.)

Blockchain.info has had some security issues recently and people have lost their Bitcoins.
See this: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/reused-r-values-again-581411

In short, there is a bug in how blockchain.info generates BTC addresses, so it is possible for someone else to get hold of your private keys and steal your BTC.

That's why it was removed from listing.

I for one wouldn't trust ANY online wallet. Better to keep all funds on cold wallet.

The removal happened before that incident.

johoe exposed the issue in August last year, so this goes long back.

This may not be directly related to the de-listing, but is related to blockchain.info security level.

Blockchain.info wallet users have lost hundreds of bitcoin in the last 2 days due to https://github.com/blockchain/My-Wallet/commit/98d5a7ca59ef04d06ac6aee468634b12975a0f5c

Fortunately, someone noticed the bug, took the bitcoin temporarily to keep it safe from bad guys and returned 255 btc to blockchain.info. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.9791998

It is true that blockchain.info don't have your private keys normally, but their bugs could still make you lose your bitcoin.

What appears to have happened is bc.info rolled out a new update to address some of the security issues pointed out by the bitcoin.org people and the new update introduced a RNG bug, which is REALLY bad and something that should NOT have slipped through, but in their defense RNG bugs aren't something you can easily test for.

BC.info are taking full responsibility and reimbursing everyone affected so kudos for that, but they should have stricter code audits and procedures in place to prevent bonehead mistakes like this in the future.

Somebody noticed and took all the coins temporarily whilst blockchain.info sorted themselves out?
Wow that is very noble, fair play.

Hmmm that's really weird, i have an wallet there and it works fine but i really wonder why they aren't listed there anymore.

Fuck the bitcoin foundation. Who cares about them?

Well but there has to be some reason behind this, from what i've found there has been some disscussion about their low security but they were never hacked were they? Also the mentioned things have already been fixed as far as i know.

Reason behind what? The delisting from the foundation? I think there's more to it than the seemingly non-existant 'security concerns' that's for sure.

Well as far as i know only blockchain.info was listed under online wallet section so maybe they want to give other wallets more publicity also or idk.
