Check address balance by Google

[dkbit98]

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:

Code: [Select]

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:

Code: [Select]

wget -qO- https://api.coindesk.com/v1/bpi/currentprice/BTC.json | grep -oP '"rate":"\K[^"]+'
These commands are fully configurable for other coins.

After I read Op, I decided to try this out with chat gpt and chat gpt lied to me.

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.

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

Chargpt increases productivity a lot if you give it the instructions like that

+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

Code: [Select]

$ 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.

Just created! Thanks

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.
