BUY BITCOIN
Anonymous search engine DuckDuckGo made some news in the bitcoin community back in early June when we learned that their engine would allow users to easily view the balance of a bitcoin address.
Now it seems as if things have gone a little bit more in-depth. According to a post on the Biteasy blog, searching for a bitcoin address on DuckDuckGo will now produce more than just a balance.
Users can now see total received, total sent. But that isn’t all.
Users who enjoy digging through the bitcoin blockchain can also review bitcoin block information, in addition to transaction information.
See the screenshots below:
Here are some sample links if you would like to see it for yourself (provided by Biteasy): [Address Information], [Transaction information], [Block].
Biteasy serves as an information hub for bitcoin, much like Blockr.io and Blockchain.info.
They write:
[blockquote style=”2″][A] Few weeks ago we submitted a Git pull request to the DuckDuckGo anonymous search engine, which enables you to instantly get basic information about Bitcoin addresses, blocks and transactions.[/blockquote]
According to Biteasy, the pull request “has been merged to master,” and thus you have the features outlined of the Biteasy Blockchain API above.
What do you think? Will Google be following suit soon?
