Topic: Which block explorer do you use? (Read 937 times)
I use blockchain.info. I use blockchain.info also as my bitcoin wallet. I think it's also the most widely used block explorer in bitcoin world
I use blockchain.info , same like most of people here, from what i read. I'm guessing it's hard for other competing sites to get users to switch their
habits and preferred block explorer when the one they're using is doing the job almost flawlessly.
Only in cases where there's some sort of downtime, or other unavailability i'm forced to use blockr.io as an alternative, but i don't find it as good,
so i bounce back to blockchain.info asap.
wouldnt call it near flawless at all, they have a problem with accepting spoofed transactions into their ledger, transactions that dont even show up on any other block explorer. habits and preferred block explorer when the one they're using is doing the job almost flawlessly.

just one of the links that can be found. after learning about these incidents ive since switched over to blockr.io
I use blocktrail, even though the options arent listed.
Its pretty well known to people who are technical on making it easier on where the coins are originall from.
edit: nevermind its the last one lol..

always use blockchain, i think it's more familiar for me than the other explorer.. 
fast to load in here.,

I am using blockchain block explorer always. Too much easy for navigating all over the site . My vote goes to blockchain.info .
I'm the same like most of the others. I just use blockchain.info and blocktrail , depending on which one is available, but mostly blockchain.info, even tho
i had some issues with reliability over the time.
But just to add, i didn't even remotely consider using their wallet, since i don't trust it for one second, same like
any other cloud wallet, but just as a block explorer, they're fine.

At the time of the survey Blockexplorer.com was busy choking on spam attacks on the blockchain so I wouldn't have included it in any respectable list of block explorers either. The old code had far outlived it's usefulness.
FWIW, all of the problems with the old site are now resolved. I finished migrating the site to Insight last week:

It was a long time coming but better late than never I guess.

i like the latter because there the price in euro and i can use it as a backup when blockchaininfo is down
I do basically the exact same as you.. Rely on Blockchain.info when it's up and functional (seems like 25% of the time it isn't working right though), otherwise I head to Blockr. Blockchain seems to be the easiest to use, but Blockr is a solid backup block explorer. 
it would have been better if there was the possibility of multiple choice, because i use almost equally, blockchain info plus blockr.io

since the start of my bitcoin life I chose blockchain.info and until now haven't got any problem with them + their the most used out there
I'm always using blockchain.info for their simplicity and better loading speed 
Hi,
I use Blochchain.info,because i have a wallet here,and I like the live transaction.
Another reason is on blockchain.info,i learned about blockchain.

I still use blockchain.info , it was the first and last block explorer that i really used. It's easy to navigate through it, and i don't
see any reason why i should use something else. Only when it's down or unavailable, which is rare, i switch to blocktrail, but i dont like it as much obviously.
cheers

I still use blockchain.info, they are not reliable I know. I don't send bitcoin often and so they are good enough. I also use blockr.io when Blockchain is down.
https://www.block.io/
Its easy to understand, gives you options to have Bitcoin Dogecoin and Litecoin wallets, even testnet if you want to use that for testing.
And of course https://blockchain.info/
Also for my Doge https://my.dogechain.info/#/overview no need for a big wallet download, web based wallet simple to use.

blockchain is the most popular but i use blocktrail for bitcoin testnet.
I use blockchain pretty much. I have not looked at other block explorers yet. It's the most used explorer and the only one I knew about until this thread.
I used bc.i in the past but then it started to have lots of downtime and strange bugs. I am now using both blockr and blocktrail at the same time for cross-checking.
