In the spirit of transparency and community safety, I am proposing a Bitcoin Address Verifier tool built specifically for BitcoinTalk Forum users.
Let me explain in detail the workings and how the functionality is to be.

What It will do:::

1.   Paste any BTCBTC address into the tool.
2.   It tells you:

• If it was posted on the forum, especially Scam Accusations
• Who posted it and in which thread
• Whether it’s linked to DT/trust members
• Real-time blockchain info: balance, activity, transaction count

Why It Matters

• Trust is everything in trades
• This tool helps users quickly check the risk before sending coins
• Avoid known scam wallets or suspicious posts.

It will be Powered By::

• Public blockchain APIs Blockstream, Mempool.space, or Blockchair, another thing that might be of tricky part is that,
   BitcoinTalk doesn’t have an official API of it’s own, so it will be best to use Google Search scraping via requests and BeautifulSoup,
  or optionally a headless browser like Playwright or Puppeteer if needed later.
• Forum search crawler
• Optional red-flag detection for banned or newbie accounts

The main Goal is as follows:::

  Allow users to verify Bitcoin addresses by checking:

• If it has ever been posted or flagged on the forum, especially in the Scam Accusations board
• Basic transaction and balance info via a public explorer
• Whether it's tied to known scams or flagged users

This is the Core Features

1. Forum Scanner

• Checks if the BTC address has been posted in any BitcoinTalk thread
• Specifically flags mentions inside the Scam Accusations and Reputation boards
• Shows links to posts where the address was mentioned

2. Blockchain Lookup

 Uses a blockchain explorer API  Blockstream, Mempool.space, or Blockchair as mentioned earlier to:

• Get balance in BTC and fiat
• Count of transactions in/out
• Recent transaction activity with timestamps

3. The golden part about the functionality is the Trust Context

  It will Show:::

• If it was linked to a DT member post
• If it appears in any tagged red trust post
• Optional:::: Flag if posted by newbie or banned accounts

Now this is the phase 1 and i will love to hear more input on it, in the phase 2 will come up with tools to use such as

• HTML + Tailwind CSS for a lightweight, responsive layout.
• Forum Crawler Logic, where I will utilize the Python Crawler Module with Google Dork Search
•   Blockchain Data Fetch via Public API
•   I will make use of the Blockstream.info API because it’s free, requires no API key, it supports JSON and has excellent uptime

The key question at the end of it will be the hosting aspect, but i will cross that bridge when i get there. Expect more updates soon.
