Search for "Bitcoin Core developers" on Google, the results are funny

[Wind_FURY]

I saw someone on Twitter suggesting to do the same search because this was his result.



I did, and I almost got the same set of "developers". Hahaha.

I believe the newbies who came to Bitcoin after 2017 or 2018 are very ill-informed about everything. We also got members of the forum, who are gaslighting, and making it worse.

Newbies, be careful.

Google doesn't have to know who the btc core developers are. (They nailed it with satoshi nakamoto though, that was a good start) Especially while some bitcoin developers are completely anonymous. Do you know who the hell btcdrak is? And you expect google to know?   (Maybe they do)

Newbies will either get smarter or they'll be losing money just like every other dumb block. It is up to them.

Bitcoin development is so decentralized that Google's algorithms can't figure out who they are.

I feel the same way. I'm all for trying to steer newbies in the right direction, but there's a steep learning curve with Bitcoin. Many people simply won't learn until they pay for their mistakes -- leaving funds on exchanges or online wallets, putting all their faith in crappy altcoins, etc.

[Red-Apple]

haha, Roger Ver is so funny right in the middle of all this. so basically i think their engine is looking for anywhere that the term "bitcoin core developers" is listed and includes the names in the results. and we all know Ver has been talking about them nonstop.

I'm a newbie, and as far as I know all suspected fraud has been posted in the scam accusation board. Is it time to report Wikipedia on the scam list because this site displays fake teams?

[davis196]

Those guys don't appear in my searh results,when a search for "Bitcoin Core Developers".
When is search in google images for that keyword,people like Greg Maxwell and Corey Fields appear on the top of the list.Nothing about Satoshi(with a picture of some random japanese old man),Nick Tsabo or Rojer Ver.

[gentlemand]

How do we know these guys don't have secret Batman-esque lives as the hottest developers on the planet?

It's possible they all run an as yet undeclared DeepStateCoin that's been underpinning the world for decades. That's why the CIA had to replace Gavin Andresen's mind with a Nokia 6110 when he refused to contribute.

[franky1]

i done the same search and i got names like greg maxwell luke dashir chrisdecker

funny part is
google takes a search key word and searches for results based on user preferences.

EG as a true bitcoiner if i search for "miners" my results come up with ASICS
a gold merchant or a coal worker would result in things related to excavators, sluice machines and quarries

we all know windfury loves his roger ver drama. so ofcourse FOR WINDFURY thats the results windfury would get

so it seems that windfury has the wrong results because windfury has in the past been told stories to only look at and discuss social drama of non-important people, and built up HIS OWN search preference thats not the truth.

windfury basically has been led down the wrong path.

but i do laugh whenever i mention a real bitcoin dev.. him and his buddies come running into a topic to meander the topic to attempt get me not to talk about the real devs and real issues. and instead to meander it into social drama about non dev stuff

so in short. google is proving to windfury that he is in an echo chamber of dont mention real devs and try to make people think about non-dev social drama.
windfury google is showing you your falling for your own buddies trick by leading YOU down the wrong path based on your own wrong path search history/preferences

emphasis
google is not broke.
YOUR. yes YOUR search preferences is the thing that is broke

[hatshepsut93]

The wikipedia article on Bitcoin Core has a Bitcoin footer, inside which there's a people section which has all the mentioned people as well as others, like Mark Karpeles or Andreas Antonopoulos. So, google just pulled this list from that article, trying to be smart. It's a very well known problem with google when it shows wrong photos and unrelated people, thinking that they are relevant to the search.
Just recently I've been reading an article about woman who shares a name with a dead woman, and Google mixed up their photos in the search results, so now people think that she is dead.

[InvoKing]

google is not broke.
YOUR. yes YOUR search preferences is the thing that is broke

In fact Google just cited the names (+photos) according to Wikipedia...it took too much effort hehe
Don't want to mix this topic with politics but Trump once accused Google for showing bad articles on top, well, it appears that the white house search preferences are broke  

[Peacemaker1994]

Well I have seen that and also the image of satoshi nakamoto but I am in the opinion that it's not original picture of the bitcoin creator. Google always has an answer to any questions regardless of if it's correct it not

they are
if trump is obsessed with mentioning russia and china. then search results will point to what russia and china re doing.
there are hundreds of countries.
i search for things like hawaii.
so when i search "national emergency". i DONT get results about russia / china. my top result was the text alert thing that happened in hawaii awhile ago that was alerting people to a missile alert.

but i can guarantee trump gets stuff about mexico russia and china. and probably never gets anything about germany, italy or other countries he doesnt think about

Same here. It's funny to even think about a random crypto get rich quick noob to seriously search for who the developers are of a certain coin. They don't care, neither do the people who are above the get rich quick category. Most noobs stick to youtubers feeding them rehashed content, and based on the content they either get bullish or bearish.

I didn't expect that just reading articles on youtube would be something allowing you as "content creator" to reach 50-100,000 subscribers.

In the end, I think it's better for people to not fully know who develops what, because the more of a public figure they become, the more of a target they become. The only thing I care about is that the software they work on is working as I expect it to work, and in case of Bitcoin Core, it does. It's by far the best in every way, which clearly shows if we look at the adoption numbers.

[franky1]

But google uses Dorian Nakamoto and Satoshi left before when Bitcoin Core was named bitcoin-qt, so it's inaccurate.

also satoshi's actual client was on sourceforge.. it was gavin that used github and everything continued from that.
the version gavin had on github in 2010 was different than satoshi's

but hey, if you ask trump  he will say russia and china had something to do with it because google told him

[bellamente]

This is a lack of Google search engine.

I think they are always obliged to produce results for the given parameters, but they do not always show the correct results.

[HODL2090]

Bitcoin development is so decentralized that Google's algorithms can't figure out who they are.

Google does not figure out, it rather adds up popular searches by people and use it to provide suggestions when that particular search word is used by someone.

I am relatively new so I do not see the irony in most of the names, Satoshi of course is an example everyone can relate with.

[pixie85]

But google uses Dorian Nakamoto image and Satoshi left before when Bitcoin Core was named bitcoin-qt, so it's inaccurate.

It looks like poor Dorian will forever remain "satoshi nakamoto" in the eyes of newbies. And the cringe of seeing Roger Rer as the face of Bitcoin is real. He was working so hard to make people confuse bcash with Bitcoin it had to work. There was no other way.

[bitfocus]

I think its returning results on a popularity basis - not certain results.

Not in "Google Images". Try doing the regular web search, and look at the images on the top. Sometimes I also get Mark Karpeles, and Gavin Andresen. Hahaha.

i done the same search and i got names like greg maxwell luke dashir chrisdecker

Can you show us a screenshot?

Then does that mean you love your Bitcoin Core developers drama?

so it seems that windfury has the wrong results because windfury has in the past been told stories to only look at and discuss social drama of non-important people, and built up HIS OWN search preference thats not the truth.

I have done the search in different browsers, different OS, deleted cookies, deleted internet data history, and did the search on TOR. I have almost the same results with small changes, and those changes were not Core developers.

windfury basically has been led down the wrong path.

Have I?

I did the search again. It includes Charlie Shrem! Hahahahaha.

[shamc]

The name was correct but the photo is not someone needs to create a wiki photo with an anonymous profile pic and label it Satoshi. And make a not that he is no longer developing the code
