I was looking for more information about a Bitcoin address and I was surprised that Google showed me the balance as a result.
It was also announced as support for some other crypto wallets, although I got strange results on the Ethereum network
This feature supports a variety of blockchain networks, including Bitcoin, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Optimism, Polygon, and Fantom, offering users a comprehensive view of their holdings.

I didn’t expect that it would be easier now to search for something like a cryptocurrency address in Google. I remember the times where I just pasted it there and then press search and of course, a while back it was no results found, but now I think it’s better.
I tried using the Ethereum balance and it showed Balance. What strange results have you gotten in the Ethereum network?

However, it has also sparked a debate among privacy-centric individuals concerned about the implications of centralized data aggregation on user privacy.“More like a huge breach of privacy,” said economist Zac Guignard.
The guy probably never heard of what blockchair and now mempool do ;D
Anyone can look on the blockchain and collect whatever data they want that's how the thing works, google returning a balance is nothing, I wish they would top making such a fuss over everything, you can't have one nice thing without a rain of tinfoil hats splashing around.

More information is that Google has started to dabble in cryptocurrencies from the technical side as well. I got the impression that things with the ETF have contributed quite a bit to the popularization of Bitcoin and we will see more and more such upgrades.
Google targets beginners and the most basic users who find it complicated to monitor balances on blockchair or similar tools, where they also have a lot of information. (For a beginner it is unnecessary)

As stompix said , any block explorer can be collecting data as well

I think this is a nice feature. It is worling already for quite some time. At least for a few months..
I was worried my balancechecker could lose some visits, however Google doesn't offer multi addresses balance check yet.

Google recognized you as a competitor, so they immediately took steps :D Now things get more serious

After I read Op, I decided to try this out with chat gpt and chat gpt lied to me.
I first asked him if he can check the balance in a bitcoin address and it said yes. I pasted the address and it told me that there are zero balance there. But then Blockchain explorer said otherwise.

At least many block explorer can be accessed through Tor or VPN, while you either blocked or forced to solve hard CAPTCHA if do same thing to Google.

Why don't you just use block explorer? It's probably faster than typing to the chatbot.

chat gpt did not lie to you, but last knowledge update was in April 2023. any information after April is not updated. Copy the address and you will find that it dates back to last April.
Can someone recommend me some Blockchain based AIs?
https://mempool.space or ask chatgpt to show you the results shown at https://mempool.space or any updated AI

I wouldn't say that AI are a reliable source of information.
A transaction that was just confirmed may just be missed by the AI. Using any Block explorer is way better imo

I agree with you, some banal things I checked, I got template-generated answers. At the same time, they are incorrect. Especially when I was looking for an explanation about an online service. I don't think any AI can still take information and process it precisely.
I guess it's a question of the day when instructions, manuals and content will be written in general to be adapted to the AI way of reading.

I think AI is very good to make quick researches about something very easy and simple.
It is also useful for tedious tasks. Like, ask them to generate an html table or a bbcode list...
-

Both are the same thing, the only difference is that you are using general-use artificial intelligence bots, if a bot is designed for cryptocurrencies and is connected to its own full node, the data will be up-to-date and it can perform some tasks such as displaying it in the form of infographics, calculating taxes, etc.
This will come at a price, which is privacy, as this data and your IP addresses will be shared.

Yes, as I said as long as you don't ask the AI to draw some conclusions.
For coding it's ok, have you maybe tried asking for the CSS code of some sites?

I ask chatgpt and other AI all kind of languages.
Php, golang, html, css, javascript...
It is good for debuging and also good to make the hard work.
AI Won't design the code for you, but it will do the hard work. For example
"Create a code for me, using typescript and bootstrap 5.3 , that will loop the following array of items creating a card with title, description and a button to open a new window, and an image"
Then I pass the array like [{title:"bitcoin", description:"good coin", button:"open"},.....]
Chargpt increases productivity a lot if you give it the instructions like that
-
This looks like g00gle started to make collection of crypto addresses maybe to connect them with all other information they have about everyone.
I am sure they have detailed profile for each IP address, including history, addresses and maybe even real life personal information.
Block explorers could also collect addresses but they are (probably) not evil like G;)

“More like a huge breach of privacy,” said economist Zac Guignard. Meanwhile, other community memebers believe that the feature makes it easier for regulatory agencies to keep track of investors’ crypto balances.
The person who wrote that article, as some of you have said in other posts, doesn't seem to know that this information is public and doesn't seem to know much about blockchain either. There are many ways to find out the balance of a Bitcoin address (and more) without having to use Google or any other search engine, actually, we don't need to use any web browser:
wget -qO- blockchain.info/rawaddr/bc1qvu3k5x24jx53tglp2emj62yu9ffmsnpn646hjr 2>&1 | grep -Po '"final_balance":\K[0-9]+' | awk '{s=$1/100000000} END {printf "%0.8f\n", s}'
To know the value of Bitcoin:
wget -qO- https://api.coindesk.com/v1/bpi/currentprice/BTC.json | grep -oP '"rate":"\K[^"]+'
These commands are fully configurable for other coins.

You are very correct, I forgot about that easily. Maybe I will have to prompt the AI to use a result from blockchain explore.

+1 karma.
Chat gpt can be very productive when you give it explicit and accurate prompts. Your ability to have your desired answers is your ability to express your questions very well. Also giving chat gpt feedback based on the answers it provide helps it to improve answers it give.

These commands are a bit old. Blockchain.info has been redirecting you to blockchain.com for a while and coindesk.com is not a block explorer so I think they rely on third party APIs.
for coindesk this will also work
$ curl -s http://api.coindesk.com/v1/bpi/currentprice.json | jq '.bpi.USD.rate'

Hey, i am going to shill my own project then.
I have created this tool which allows you to instantly check the balance of nearly 500 addresses simultaneusly. You can also scan QR codes and export the results in a .csv or .json files.

Can this tool be used with filtered and modified results to show only addresses that have coins in balance?
For example if I have 300 addresses I want to show results with excluded everything with zero balance.
This search command should be optional.

Well, this is an interesting idea. I liked it
I can easily implement it like a check box to mark/unmarked this filter. I will do sometime this week

Is there a way to check the wallet, not just the address? A check that will include change addresses.
@bitmover, Where is your general bitcoindata.science ANN thread on the Altt forum that will unite all your services and discussions about them? Something like the one on Btt.

Yes. I could use xpub. I will put it in my todo list.

Yes, through master public key xpub.
Yes. I could use xpub. I will put it in my todo list.
I do not advise you to do apply it, sharing xpub is very harmful to privacy and someone may mistakenly share the master private key Xprv

Nice buddy haha this I also try this prompt as of you but it just says to me "I am sorry for that I can not fetch real-time data" at my side or I think you may pro version of this AI tool. do you have it? In my opinion, AI can not fetch the real-time data for now as they are not much intelligent for now they just work on the specific domains and they are working on the specific commands and domains currently.
As I have experienced this many times so in my view AI are not currently that much intelligent or I can be wrong here I am just sharing with you what I have experienced with AI's tools in the past time. Do you have the pro version of it as I have never tried the pro version of this before. Although I am very aware of this AI's tools are far more dangerous and on the other side it also has some benefits as well. Must share your opinion on this buddy. Many Thanks!
-

Thanks.
Is this going to count addresses that have unconfirmed transactions also?
One more thing could be interesting is to show all addresses that have history, and ones without history of transactions.
I do not advise you to do apply it, sharing xpub is very harmful to privacy and someone may mistakenly share the master private key Xprv
Anyone doing this deserves to lose their coins, nobody asked them to send private keys or seed words.
And entering anything on internet can potentially harm privacy, even typing public address.

Most AI tools are powerful. It all depends on the kind of data fed it. Your ability to provide a specific or dynamic data through which the AI gets information determines how intelligent or result oriented your tool will be. This is where machine learning comes in full. These tools are more powerful than you think if you use them the right way.

Buddy, I am aware of AI very well and also know how machine learning works as I have done my graduations in CS haha dear don't think I am flexing of it haha I am just wanna discuss it with you that indeed AI is very powerful technology but along with this it is far away dangerous than human think. In the current scenario, we are enjoying it by just giving commands to it and it is learning from our given commands and making itself more intelligent.
On the same side, when it is unable to give us an answer it saves the question in its database for the learning purpose so that I can answer it in the future after learning. I have seen many other AI tools as well that reply to the users out of the way some days ago I was reading a command umm this command can be dangerous where the user gave the command to the AI tool that how to create a hand grenade and molotov cocktail, and that AI was telling him how to create it which is really very crazy thing in my opinion.
Well, In short, this technology is good for good people and dangerous for wrong people all depending on how one is using it. :)

A very fair summary of AI. It's good for people and dangerous fir wrong people. But a time will come in the future when both the good and the bad will miss the good old time when only humans were intelligent.

Actually, Google also doesn't display balances in real time.
I have tried to picked up 1 address (first sample) in a mined block 35 hours ago and the balance displayed is not accurate.
A few seconds later I picked up another address (2nd sample) in the same block and it was updated at the current time showing the accurate balance.
Then I picked up the address (sample 3) in the mined block 1 minute ago and the result is updated as per the 2nd sample time with accurate balance.
So, blockchain explorer is much more reliable, ;)

Google shouldn't be showing balances unless it is updated information . This is not good imo.
It is so easy to just track a block explorer api, or just run its own node (for Google this is nothing...)

That's true. Shortcut shown by OP shows "Last updated" along with the data. But it's not in bold or bright color without showing time difference with current time, so i wouldn't be surprised if some people missed it.
-

They shouldn't do that, but with using more and more AI bots they can now easily copy this information quickly from many explorers they track.
Nobody should blindly trust any address balance or other results that is coming from g00gle, and it's best to run your own node with mempool.space if you want to be sure.

<snip>But a time will come in the future when both the good and the bad will miss the good old times when only humans were intelligent.
This thing gives me bad vibes when we will see this technology replacing a lot of human work well let's say it can help a lot for doing human work but what if it will replace a lot of human jobs as well? Then the rate of jobless people will be increase which result can lead us to poverty. You may also have seen videos or you may have seen real-time events where these AI bots are working currently.
I have seen some videos where An AI bot was serving food on the restaurant and also taking orders from the customers. on the other hand, I also watched a video in which an AI model Bot was guiding people in big Malls. Besides This, Some days ago, I was reading a news circulating on social media that an AI bot committed suicide because he got tired of work now the thing that put me in thinking that if this command was saved in this AI Bot algorithm or if he committed suicide just out of given domain I mean maybe he decided to commit suicide by his own decision as it was an AI model Bot. what do you think of it?

I don't think AI will take our jobs.. someone who knows how to use AI will take the job of someone who doesn't.

Chatgpt is a lifesaver, we can copy our whole code and give it to chatgpt and ask it to find what's the mistake in the code and it doesn't even find us but gives us the solution to it. Chatgpt has made our lives more easier before I have to find line to line which error I am getting. What I did do wrong, was I searched on GitHub, StackOverflow, etc. and now I just copy the code give it to AI, and ask why I am getting this error give me solutions.
wahala, the problem is either gone or almost solved. I just don't know how I made it alive till now without AI. They have become a crucial part of our lives. In the learning phases, I use Google and write some keywords of the article I want to learn and spend a good time finding the information I am looking for and now I just give the prompt to AI and get the exact information in no time. But AI can sometimes give wrong information so its best to confirm the crucial information from articles.

It's a good observation I tested it with the forum's BTC donation address located at the end of the page and it accurately shows the balance but your theory is also right, Google is not showing the latest transaction just added into the block but I guess it's not a big deal because I am seeing this feature for the first time and it is possible it's a beta version and real version can be able to show us the real-time data.
Google takes time to index up-to-date data, it cannot work exactly like any other blockchain explorer because they are dedicated to this work. But Google is not, they are implementing many other things too like AI-based results if you have turned them on.

I tried inputting the address (BNB & BEP20) on Google, but it doesn't show the final balance of the address, unlike when the input is a BTC address.

I've been trying to figure out how to get the HEX code of a transaction through the Electrum Wallet Console using ChatGPT.
(https://i.imgur.com/QvcGNVu.png)
At first glance, the answer seems correct, but when implemented using the command:
gettransaction “TXID”
a SyntaxError will appear.
Because Electrum uses Python, the correct command when writing in the console is:
gettransaction('TXID')
So, as you said above, sometimes the information provided by the AI can be a bit wrong.

This is quite far from a reliable solution. It is interesting, because Google, after various bans on promoting crypto services, is slowly starting to implement support for crypto. At least for Bitcoin.

Crypto changed. Even trump, who used to curse bitcoin, is now promoting it and was even in The bitcoin conference.
The trend now is too google and other service increase adoption slowly.

AI would always produced already generated results and any information that has not been generated, it would not provided. But the strange part of this thread is that, how did the google search engine knew our wallets addresses balance when they was no KYC in the registration time? When saw the thread, and I checked my address in Google to confirm and the last transaction date and time always shown. I am still thinking how it is possible?

There is no need for kyc for that.
They just get balance data from an api. Just like they get price data for stocks.
For example , write sp500 and you will see a chart and price data for it

If you entered an address in Google search, it does not necessarily mean that it is an address that you control. Bitcoin Address is a public key and the balance is a public matter, it is not a big deal for anyone to find out the balance on a BTC address.
However, what worries you is something to worry about, because Google collects too much information from each user, but that's a completely different topic.

But the strange part of this thread is that, how did the google search engine knew our wallets addresses balance when they was no KYC in the registration time? When saw the thread, and I checked my address in Google to confirm and the last transaction date and time always shown. I am still thinking how it is possible?
Bitcoin addresses are public, so anyone can see the balance, transaction history, and other general information even if they don't own the address.
Bitcoin Address is a public key and the balance is a public matter, it is not a big deal for anyone to find out the balance on a BTC address.
The Bitcoin address is not a direct public key but an encoded representation of the hash of the public key*.
The following is an example of the difference between addresses and public keys from my Bitcoin wallet:

Public keys:

Uh yeah, it turns out that this difference is very significant, because in terms of security, you could attack bare public keys with a quantum computer, but the same cannot be said for an address hash because of the extra SHA-256 step.
Sure, quantum computers don't exist in a commercial form right now, but there is nothing stopping it from being created in the future.

Yeah, a Bitcoin address will be more difficult to attack than a public key because the address has gone through the extra SHA-256 step, as in the P2PKH address example I mentioned earlier.
- Execute SHA256 on PubKey
- Execute RIPEMD160 on hash_sha256_PubKey
- Execute SHA256 on hash_01
- Execute SHA 256 on hash_02
- Execute Base58 encode on hash_final
By the way, I just tried checking the old type of BTC address (P2PK)* used on the genesis transaction:
04678afdb0fe5548271967f1a67130b7105cd6a828e03909a67962e0ea1f61deb649f6bc3f4cef38c4f35504e51ec112de5c384df7ba0b8d578a4c702b6bf11d5fusing Google, but Google couldn't track it.
In this case, using Google to check the balance of Bitcoin assets is not optimal compared to using the Bitcoin Blockchain Explorer.

A P2PK does not have an official address. However, you'll sometimes find blockchain explorers displaying addresses for P2PK locking scripts, even though they technically do not have one.

Wait a minute, when did that happened!!! Just tried it and it worked. And the most surprising thing was, Bitcointalks also showed up in 2nd link/result whatever it is, even though I only googled my BTC address. And more surprising is that it was the thread with banned mixers which popped up. You remember that right!

I think the address balance checker feature by Google is in addition to the normal search results that are already displayed. Because I can't imagine Google suddenly turning into a block explorer and giving you more data about the address, beyond the balance.
There wouldn't be much to look at on google if all an address gave you back was its balance without returning normal search results too.

Can someone recommend me some Blockchain based AIs?
https://mempool.space or ask chatgpt to show you the results shown at https://mempool.space or any updated AI
I wouldn't say that AI are a reliable source of information.
A transaction that was just confirmed may just be missed by the AI. Using any Block explorer is way better imo
AI is just a robot, it's not real, in my opinion there will definitely be errors in its work, it's not 100% perfect, even if there is a correct and correct conclusion, maybe it's a coincidence.
