Transactions are still taking forever to show a single confirmation, while other block services are showing 6+ confirmations.

I think it is time to realize that if a leading service can't provide a solution to their problems in such an amount of time, then we need to start burning them to the ground because they are no longer competent enough to handle such a responsibility.
Bitcoin business is suffering, especially those who depend on APIs with blockchain.info.  
There is no mention of these recent confirmation bugs anywhere on their site, and they seem to be whistling away as if its business as usual.

It is time to take a stance.  We don't put up with bullshit.  Let's boycott blockchain.info and show stronger support for alternative sites.
