We can only pray that your crypto is good. Recall the problems that bigger sites had.

The dogecoin lookup seems to be broken, 0 DOGE for all my dogecoin wallets

Nevermind, apparently the Dogecoin QT app makes new addresses every time coins are sent out so I had to track all my coins to the last one that still had all my coins

Since I used the Bitcoin-Core to send/spend bitcoins, the export instructions from https://balances.io/import_instructions will not work. The balance displayed is much less than what the wallet contains, because of the internal addresses from the key pool. See http://blog.barthe.ph/2014/04/03/bitcoin-balance-differs/

Hmm, we will definitely look into this, thanks!

Since they don't touch private keys at all I don't think they'll be that big of a target.

will there be something like https://coinbase.com/docs/api/overview ?

We aren't currently opening up our API to the public. However, if there is enough demand for it (http://balances.uservoice.com/forums/244164-suggestions), we might open it up sooner rather than later.

Ya we are looking into a way to better import addresses when the data is formatted like that.

And just like that your wallets aren't anonymous anymore or at least are tied to each other beyond transactions between them.

Seriously, though, this is kinda neat.

Wallets arent anonymous they are all in the block chain.

I think he/she meant that now the bitcoin addresses can be tied to an individual, as this app is running on mobile.
