So just getting all of someones satoshis together takes up an entire block and crashes block explorers?
Why is it being marked as a double spend by blockchain.info?

Seems weird to me, with stress tests and forks recently there have been a few mishaps in the last few days, this seems like another.

This one is not crashing...

Now that you posted a link it got jinxed and crashes/hangs too.

Kinda cool way to show the weakness of the "web-based services" paradigm: they can't tell the sudden spike of popularity from a garden-variety DDoS. And all this added JavaScript sauce, it could really serve as an example how not to design UI widget architectures.


It is still not crashing at my end. In case, it is crashing at your end, here is a list of alternatives...

When you check an address balance or a transaction status online, which block explorer do you use ? If you run a service depending on a third party API, which block explorer's API you rely upon ?
