Absrtact: DuckDuckGo is a search engine that focuses on protecting users ' privacy, because it is famous for being one of Safari search engines. What I want to talk about today is not how it differs from Google in terms of privacy, but what it does with its virtual currency.

DuckDuckGo is a search engine that focuses on protecting users ' privacy because it is famous for being one of Safari's search engines. What I want to talk about today is not how it differs from Google in terms of privacy, but what it does with its virtual currency.

Since early this year, DuckDuckGo has been working with startups Biteasy to enrich the search for information about chunk chains (Block Chain), from the initial account balances to the current volume of transactions (send/Receive).

Biteasy developed a set of APIs that allow developers to grab transaction data directly from the chunk chain of the bitcoin. Recently, the start-up company submitted a request to DuckDuckGo on GitHub to allow the latter's users to obtain extended data from the block chain through biteasy programs. August 12, Biteasy announced that the DuckDuckGo API integration was completed with the collaboration of two companies.

The action at least shows that in the search engine ecosystem, the need to find and display Bitcoin-related information and data is increasingly strong. One months ago, Google supported the direct viewing of bitcoin prices in the search box.

What does it look like after integration?

As shown in the figure above, when you enter the wallet address, the user can view the corresponding two-dimensional code, the current balance of the account, and the transaction data-including the total amount of Bitcoin issued and received. These data are mirrored data on similar platforms such as blockchain.

In addition, users can see the size of the block, the difficulty of digging, and related costs--duckduckgo in the data rich degree far more than Google and Yahoo two giants.

Biteasy said that it will continue to deepen cooperation, through the open source API to provide users with more in-depth, more comprehensive block chain information. DuckDuckGo said, hope that the effort can become the reference of other search engines, together to meet the user in the virtual currency information and knowledge of the appeal of dedication.
