Check address balance by Google

[examplens]

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 
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  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.


Can someone recommend me some Blockchain based AIs?

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.

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
